Believing God's Promises Despite Hard Circumstances - Lisa Harper

Are you waiting for a miracle from God? In this winsome presentation, author and bible teacher Lisa Harper shares how the Lord redeemed gut-wrenching disappointments in her life. She encourages believers to see “waiting on God” as the bold stance of a prayerful warrior, not an attitude of defeated pessimism.

I've been waiting 13 yrs now for my adult daughter to come back into my life. I miss her so very much. I keep the faith.

[@ritablack6129]

Me to my daughter moved to California and we did not say goodbye or build our relationship

[@juliejustus6878]

Praying for healing and restoration of your broken relationship. Do the best you can to make things right before it's to late. Tomorrow isn't promised. 3:55

[@rhondamunoz952]

I'm waiting to for my son ♡ I feel for you.

[@silviahebner6056]

Praying for restoration ❤

[@mistiehernandez129]

I feel your pain. I’m still waiting too

[@user-bs4jf3ry9u]

Three things are important while you're waiting, Stay in God's Word, study & read, pray, and remember you're never alone. Hebrews 13:5. Satan's favorite thing to bring against believers in trials is you're all alone. That's a PURE LIE he uses constantly. We walk by faith, not by feelings. I love Lisa, she's very open about her struggles. By sharing she helps others in their trials. Blessings 2 Everyone. Have A Jesus Filled Day!!! 🙂😷👱‍♀️

[@bethsummerville341]

Blessings! I saw a church sign that said , " If you try to hurt me by bringing up my past, it's like you are robbing a house I used to live in." That's not who I am or where I'm at anymore. I am in Christ!

I love hearing about how her divorced parents stood by each other when each was terminally ill.....what a miracle!

[@sheriyando8039]

If only more divorce parents would do the same. Instead of fighting. Peace is the way of helping the children of divorced parents. No wonder The Father hates divorce. Because it is the children who suffer.😢

[@bing.martinez]

Why divorce at all?

[@lisacadman3842]

@@bing.martinez Early in on her message Lisa said that her father was abusive and that's why her parents divorced when she was five years old.

Lisa Harper is a beautiful soul. Lisa is a wonderful speaker and she always keeps it REAL ❤❤❤!!! Lisa, you are so beloved 💞!! Keep on teaching and preaching!!! You radiate the Gospel in your teachings. I love you ❤️❤️❤️!!!

I literally was about to walk away from a fiancé and saw this video-read the title and decided to listen. Praying that I can wait on the Lord.

I will be praying for you - for wisdom and strength 🥰

Every situation is individual. Its better to sort out before getting married than regret and praying for freedom to the rest all your life. There's no general situation or advice.

This spoke to me I am praying for my son Mongezi to heal emotionally be delivered from alcohol guilt and shame. I pray for reconciliation and forgiveness in my family Trusting the Lord as I wait❤

Thank you 💖 Lisa I am having surgery for Breast Cancer and I needed to hear this message!! Please pray all will be well as I learn to wait and trust ❣️

[@joycesolomon9359]

I pray for your complete healing

[@jernewsletter]

Lord please give Laura peace through her surgery thanks that you are with her wherever she goes. Please give the surgeons wisdom and please protect her from infection while in the hospital. I ask all these things in your precious name.

[@bettinahaynes4555]

Wow! What an awesome testimony! Thank you, Ms. Harper, for sharing your heart with others.❤

[@livenfree]

One of the most powerful things the Lord taught me through my friend Phil who learned it from his spiritual mother.. is to give thanks as an act of faith after praying for something. For example I injured my wrists and I prayed and asked my heavenly father to heal them and every time they hurt after that I would say thank you Jesus for healing my wrists. And after a few days of thanking him I realized my wrists did not hurt anymore. We are called to call things that are not as though they are. Are you praying for the salvation of your spouse or child? Instead of asking what you've done a million times start thanking Him for their salvation. Thank him for how wonderful it is going to be!

[@KarenOndimu]

Wow, testimony

[@Rosemund100]

My family and I have been apart since 2016 but I get to see them 6 months in a year if I am lucky. I now have a grandson from our youngest son and the need for me to be there is important. Please pray for me that this year my papers will be approved so I can be here to be with my youngest so he can concentrate on finding a steady job to provide for his young family.

[@bethsummerville341]

Yes! Agreeing with you in prayer!

[@tialakichu3705]

Such a powerful message. I will keep on waiting for God's intervention in my family.

Beautiful story ❤❤❤

[@JuliaKDenbo]

I need prayer for my teenage son who is dealing with OCD, and my family. Its causing so much disruption and frustration. Its affecting my life too, making me late for work, taking time away from my school assignments, and affecting my mental health. It is really hard to live with the behaviors. They are illogical. I have him in counseling, but dont know what to do with him anymore...

[@aprilhaines2425]

I have dealt with this as well. No one can understand unless they have been through it. ❤️ I will pray for you and your son.
