Eternal Benefits

Praise is not optional—it reveals the heart. In this deeply personal opening message of Empowered by Praise, Dr. Michael Youssef calls believers to examine their spiritual condition by asking a simple question: what comes out of your mouth? Drawing from Matthew 12:34 and Psalm 22:3, Dr. Youssef declares that praise is more than emotion. It is an act of faith and obedience that strengthens your walk with Christ and invites His rule over your life. In this message, Dr. Youssef outlines four powerful truths about praise: Praise reveals your true spiritual state, Praise refocuses your destiny, Praise reestablishes God’s reign, Praise reinforces your relationship with Him. This episode calls believers to rise each morning with praise on their lips, trusting the Holy Spirit to ignite victorious living. As you praise the Name, character, and mercy of God, Christ reigns more fully over your heart, home, and witness. The time to praise is now. Scripture Focus: Matthew 12:34; Psalm 22:3 If today’s teaching stirred a question, burden, or need for prayer, you don’t have to walk through it alone. 🙏 Pastoral Care & Prayer TeamsOur 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.comIf 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
