The Humility Gap | Lisa Harper | Elevation Church

True humility isn’t about acknowledging what we lack, but acknowledging God’s ability to do more.
In “The Humility Gap” guest speaker Lisa Harper teaches us that when we humble ourselves, we leave room for God’s mercy to fill in our gaps.

Humility - the key to intimacy with God. Rick Warren: "Not thinking less of yourself but thinking of yourself less" be preoccupied with Jesus. Aka be consumed enamored with Jesus. More focused on Jesus than yourself. Humility is necessary for worship. AW Tozaer "It takes humility to worship God acceptably." 🙏🏽 Humility leads to divine glory.

[@1603shadow]

Lisa Harper is such a gifted speaker the way she weaves humor & life stories into her teaching of the Word. Great message on pride & humility.

[@walternicolas6927]

Hi Pat how're you doing and your family hope they're all doing great

This was fantastic. She was hilarious and explained everything so, so well. What a gifted teacher!

[@bridgetmeadows4000]

Perfect timing in my life! Thank You Jesus! And I love the idea of being a collander of Grace. Gives me a whole new outlook. Thank you Lisa.

[@debandgil]

This is such a poignant message. I needed to hear this. I am listening a week later just to let it sink in deeper. This message is a personal blessing to me… and has challenged and corrected me with some of my own insecurities I have been struggling with (in church leadership) - as I realized I was making it about me. Also, I am so pleasantly surprised to hear such a powerful rebuke/correction to the church at large from this particular pulpit. Motivation and encouragement is necessary, and so is a prophetic correction - this is what God’s chastening looks like. It is loving, and precise. If you heed correction, it ultimately leads to spiritual health, healing, and maturity. Hallelujah! Thank You Lord!!!

[@eddiejimenez6712]

So well that humility brings you closer to Jesus like chips and queso! Yet not once did she say REPENT from your sins and come to Jesus! Yup she is very gifted

[@ellengarrett5396]

Eddie Jiminez, but her whole sermon was one of a calling to repentance from the pride of self and of worship of self to embrace the holiness and grace of Jesus Christ.

[@yvettekooistra3611]

Glory to God. I laughed and I cried. Lisa is the whole package and I'm so thankful I stumbled across this. It most definitely was the Holy Spirit, not a stumble. God bless Lisa and God bless Elevation Church and I hope everyone got from this message what the Holy Spirit intended for them to get🙏

""we wrap verse around our pride and call it humble" I don't think I could have said it better myself amazing message Please come back!

Thanks for joining us this week! You don't have to wait for the next time for Lisa to come back to hear another one of her messages. You can find her message from last year here at Elevation Church on our KZbin channel: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kGOokICMftuooas

Legacy without humility is destructive, leads to entitlement.

I wish so bad we could find a church that deeply cares. We are walking through a very hard season and our church did not support us and we wound up having to leave after 26 years. Our hearts are broken and we are broken. Pray for us.

I have watched that sermon by Lisa Harper so many times that it is almost memorized. When she speaks about humility and entitlement, it grips my heart and I love it. Her different church stories are the best.

[@aarich119]

I need to watch this everyday, Holy Spirit help me remove entitlement,pride etc etc help me move out the way and allow you to use my lack for your glory. Help me Holy Spirit to humble myself and be preoccupied with Jesus, In Jesus Name I pray. Amen🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Thank you Elevation church for allowing Lisa to speak many times. Many of her knowledge that was preached I needed I laughed and I cried. And I just wanted to thank Lisa. For her honesty and teach me the things that I needed to hear . Thank you Pastor Steven and Pastor Holly. Oh I need prayers but I believe God has got me in His hands. Blessings to all when you turn around and see Jesus. He is my best friend and he bought my 35 year old son to be with Him 8-4-21 my son knows the Lord and is the one who introduced Elevation Church and Worship to me during COVID-19 and I thank. The Lord for that time to really get to know my son. Blessings to you all and ten thousand beside. Great is His Faithfulness Lord onto me.

[@kalengatshibaka4937]

The story about the life verse got me straight in my heart....It was a mistake that Lisa made but It was God's intentional message passed across through Lisa's mistake to His little girl! What a Special, Good, Good Father He is.....I am moved!!! Thank You Yahweh for being so intentional and intimate with Us. We love You for loving Us this way, this much, Always! Praise The Lord All The Earth. Glorify His name cause it is due Him. He deserves every bit of it! Thank You that you never remove Yourself from Us. Thank You Jesus Christ!

[@jeanninekoski1699]

My husband and I have been talking for a week about pride…I in particular have been releasing some areas of pride that I didn’t even know were pride. The result has been precious intimacy with Jesus & the body of Christ that has been missing for years. I had no clue. Once again God used this ministry to confirm what He has been saying to me. Thank you! And thank you Jesus.

[@gracemwangi2104]

Humility is the key to intimacy with Jesus. Lord help me to humble myself before you that you may lift me up

I didn’t die. I lived! And now I’m telling the world what God did. God tested me, he pushed me hard, but he didn’t hand me over to Death. Swing wide the city gates-the righteous gates! I’ll walk right through and thank God! This Temple Gate belongs to God, so the victors can enter and praise.
