More of Dr. Michael Youssef
David in the bible personally discovered that brokenness leads to GODLY wholeness. It can come to the life of the believer in many ways----disappointment, sorrow, and sin. Maybe GOD instructs us to go one way, but we are determined to go another. The result is frustration and brokenness. Sometimes, brokenness comes not because we have done anything wrong, but because GOD wants to test and strengthen our faith. Brokenness has a way of revealing our level of faith better than anything else. When it continues over months and even years, we truly learn where the focus of our faith lies. REMEMBER, if GOD has chosen you to face a time of brokeness, it will be followed by a season of TREMENDOUS blessing.

Teachings of Pastor Michael Youssef
No Shortcuts! There are no shortcuts around the will of God. There are no shortcuts in Heaven. No quick way around the frustrations and disappointments of life. If we want to live godly lives in an ungodly world, we must be willing to follow God's plan. This means saying NO to temptation and sin---the very things that can lead us on a detour away from God's will and blessing. Go back to the way you came {1 Kings 19:15}. Get back to do what GOD has called you to do. If you feel as though you have taken a wrong turn or that you have decided to take a shortcut around the WILL OF GOD------STOP! There are no shortcuts. Get back on the sure path that leads to hope and truth, which is the one that is closest to the heart of GOD. When you submit your life to HIM, you find eternal blessing through HIS wondrous grace and mercy.
The signatures of sin and evil are all around us. There has to be something more----an anchor to our souls----someone who can show us how to keep the course of our lives steady and set so that we are sailing in the right direction. That person is JESUS CHRIST. He is our only salvation from sin---the anchor of our souls {Hebrews 6:19} that holds firm, especially when the storms of life threaten and when the enemy's temptations blow hard against us.
Living a godly life in an ungodly world is realizing that we do not belong to ourselves. As believers, we belong to JESUS CHRIST. Take sin's threat seriously. Here is where we can begin to live a GODLY life. HAVE A HEART-FOCUS THAT IS SET ON JESUS CHRIST. We can't learn to live GODLY lives unless we follow the instruction manual that GOD has given us and this is HIS WORD--THE HOLY BIBLE. REFUSE TO GET CAUGHT UP IN BUSYWORK AND BELIEVE THAT WE ARE PLEASING GOD. Immorality can steal and rob us of a beautiful relationship with the LORD JESUS CHRIST.
REALIZED THAT GOD LOVES YOU WITH AN UNCONDITIONAL LOVE. Christ died so that we might have eternal life. HIS grace is a gift that cannot be purchased through good works or outstanding behavior. HE loved us even before we were born and HE loves us now. See James 5:20; Psalm 51:1-2, 7, 16-17.
BE WILLING TO INVEST IN YOUR SPIRITUAL FUTURE. There is only one way to win the war that is building against us and that is through faith in JESUS CHRIST---Faith that does not shift.
BE SUBMISSIVE TO THE AUTHORITY THAT GOD HAS PLACED OVER YOU. If we can obey the laws of the land we will have trouble obeying God and living our lives for him. Rebellion only leads to disappointment, sorrow, and failure. GOD has a better plan for our life for those that say YES to HIM. If you are struggling against GOD's will and plan for your life, STOP. Ask JESUS to help you understand the depth of HIS love for you. Also pray that you will be sensitive to HIS SPIRIT and that you will say NO to the temptations and passions of this world. When you do, you will find that GOD is with you, giving you the ability you need to live a GODLY life in an ungodly world!
{Prayer--Lord, give me the right perspective in every situation so that I go through each one trusting YOU for wisdom to live a godly life.}
