You can be a positive presence in a negative world! In fact, the power of one Christian is unlimited—because a Christian is someone who is vitally linked to an all-powerful, all-wise, and all-loving God. In his eight-part series Discover the Power of One, Michael Youssef examines the life of the Old Testament prophet Daniel and explains how—with God’s help—you, too, can make a difference for good and for God in your world—no matter how dark, pressure-packed, or troublesome that world may be.

In Standing Firm in Prayer, Dr. Michael Youssef calls believers to powerful, persistent intercession that moves the hand of God. From Daniel 10, he reveals how Daniel’s prayer—offered years after God’s decree—was not unbelief, but holy urgency. Though few Israelites returned from exile, Daniel stayed on his face, pleading for a spiritually blind people. Because of his selfless, righteous prayer, the pre-incarnate Christ appeared—right there in pagan Babylon. Dr. Youssef warns that today’s Church is drifting into compromise, lulled by false security. But God still answers when His people cry out for His glory. This message is a call to rise from spiritual slumber, return to Biblical righteousness, and pray until Heaven moves.
