In this nine-part series, Michael Youssef reminds us that God’s Spirit indwells in every believer. Therefore, His fruit — the fruit of the Spirit — is not just a list of behaviors we practice each day, but tools that God has given to be used on a regular basis for our good and His glory.

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.
