Leading The Way Radio Podcast - Creating Intimacy

Praise is not empty ritual—it is relationship. In this powerful message from Empowered by Praise, Dr. Michael Youssef teaches that the names of God are His gracious self-revelation, showing His people who He is and how they can draw near to Him. Rooted in the inerrant Scriptures, Dr. Youssef points to the revealed names of Yahweh and connects them to the character and saving work of the Lord Jesus Christ, who offered Himself as the final sacrifice for sinners. This episode calls believers to: Praise God for who He has revealed Himself to be, Confess His holy names with reverence and faith, Repent of self-rule and spiritual distance, Depend on Christ alone for salvation and strength, Grow in prayer, intimacy, intercession, and faithful witness. When believers praise God according to His revealed character, prayer deepens, trust grows, and spiritual victory becomes possible through Christ. Scripture Focus: Hebrews 13:15 If today’s teaching stirred a question, burden, or need for prayer, you don’t have to walk through it alone.
