Summary

In this second message from God’s Power for Daily Living, Dr. Michael Youssef calls believers to embrace the Biblical purpose of waiting. Preaching from Acts 1:12–26, he warns against the modern obsession with instant gratification and reminds us that God's silence is never empty—it is training ground for obedience, fellowship, prayer, and spiritual readiness. The apostles didn’t waste their waiting; they obeyed Christ, prayed in unity, and prepared for the coming power of the Holy Spirit. Dr. Youssef also exposes the danger of apostasy through the example of Judas, urging listeners to examine their hearts and submit fully to Christ. True revival, he says, begins with faithful preparation—starting on our knees. If today’s teaching stirred a question, burden, or need for prayer, you don’t have to walk through it alone. 🙏 Pastoral Care & Prayer Teams Our trained prayer partners and pastoral care team are available to pray with you and offer Biblical support. https://ltw.org/care 💬 Receive personal answers to your faith questions—anytime, day or night—at: https://myfaithassistant.com If you’ve been blessed by this podcast, please consider a tax-deductible donation to help extend this ministry—so another person can be encouraged, prayed for, and pointed to Christ. ❤️ Support Leading The Way: https://www.ltw.org/donate
