In this bold 12-part series, You Want Me to Do What?, Dr. Michael Youssef walks through the book of Joshua with uncompromising clarity and urgent Gospel Truth. From crossing the Jordan to conquering Jericho, from exposing hidden sin to building cities of refuge, God’s commands to His people are never optional—they demand obedience, faith, and courage. Each message reveals the unchanging character of God: just, merciful, faithful, and sovereign. Dr. Youssef challenges every believer to repent of compromise, trust God’s promises, and rise up as bold witnesses in a dark world. The call is clear—step out, stand firm, and tell the story of our covenant-keeping God.

In Part 7, Dr. Michael Youssef issues a clear warning from Joshua 9: spiritual victories must be followed by spiritual vigilance. Israel fell into deception because they failed to seek God in prayer. The Gibeonites spoke religious language, quoted Scripture, and appeared sincere—but they were enemies. God’s Word is inerrant and Christ is Lord, yet discernment comes only through prayer. Believers who refuse to pray for wisdom leave themselves open to compromise and confusion. This message calls Christians to repent of self-reliance, intercede for discernment, and stand firm in truth. Only prayer protects God’s people from deception and preserves their witness as they advance God’s mission.
