…Know How To Pray?

Victory can make God’s people careless. In this urgent message, Dr. Michael Youssef teaches from Joshua 9, where Israel fell for the deception of the Gibeonites because they did not stop to seek the Lord. The Gibeonites sounded convincing. They used religious language, appeared sincere, and even seemed to honor God’s Word. But they were enemies in disguise. Dr. Youssef warns that deception often comes dressed in spiritual language—and discernment will not come through instinct, experience, or human wisdom. It comes through prayer and submission to God’s inerrant Word. This episode calls believers to: Repent of self-reliance, Seek God before making decisions, Pray for wisdom and discernment, Test every message by Biblical Truth, Stand firm without compromise, Protect their witness as they advance God’s mission. Only prayer keeps God’s people alert, anchored, and ready to resist deception.
