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.

    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

    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 a powerful act of Faith after praying for something. I injured my wrists and I prayed and asked my loving heavenly father to heal them and every time they hurt I would say thank you Jesus for healing my wrists. And after a few days or weeks of doing I realized my wrist 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!

    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!!! 🙂😷👱‍♀️

    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!

    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.😢

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...
