In this final message of Spirituality That Heals, Dr. Michael Youssef delivers a powerful warning: without Holy Spirit–filled self-control, believers are as defenseless as a city without walls. Preaching from Galatians 5, Proverbs, and 1 Corinthians 9, he exposes the lies of self-mastery and self-improvement, declaring that true self-control is not willpower—it is Spirit power. Our flesh craves indulgence, but the Spirit demands surrender. Dr. Youssef urges believers to reject compromise, repent of passivity, and fix their focus on the eternal crown that awaits the faithful. Only through daily surrender and deep gratitude for Christ’s finished work can the Church stand strong, resist temptation, and glorify God in every area of life.

In this eighth message of Spirituality That Heals, Dr. Michael Youssef boldly corrects the common lie that meekness equals weakness. Teaching from Galatians 5 and Numbers 12, he proclaims that true Biblical meekness is strength under control—rooted not in fear, but in the indwelling power of the Holy Spirit. Through the example of Moses and the humility of Christ, Dr. Youssef confronts both arrogant pride and false modesty, calling believers to repentance. Meekness is not passive silence or self-promotion—it is Spirit-filled boldness, wrapped in gentleness, that honors Christ and gives glory to God. Only by being filled moment by moment with the Holy Spirit can the Church reflect the meekness that will inherit the earth.

In this seventh message of Spirituality That Heals, Dr. Michael Youssef proclaims that faithfulness—a fruit of the Spirit—is essential to Christian living and deeply rooted in the character of God. Drawing from Galatians 5 and the warning to Laodicea in Revelation 3, he exposes the danger of spiritual complacency and calls the Church to repent of lukewarm loyalty. In a culture addicted to instant gratification and compromise, true faithfulness stands firm in truth, even when no one is watching. Dr. Youssef reminds believers that our unchanging Lord rewards hidden obedience, and that walking faithfully before Him is not optional—it is the unmistakable mark of those who truly belong to Christ.
