Know Your Best Friend (Part 5)

In a world obsessed with control and worldly strength, Dr. Youssef declares the true, lasting power of the Spirit—a sevenfold power revealed in Scripture. From dunamis (dynamite power) to energei (energizing power), these gifts equip believers to overcome sin, preach with authority, and walk in holiness. As Paul reminds Timothy, “God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control” (2 Timothy 1:7). This power is reserved for those who are Spirit-filled, not self-sufficient. Dr. Youssef warns against relying on programs, personalities, or human wisdom, calling instead for brokenness, surrender, and dependence on the Spirit’s might.
