Lisa Harper is #woke love her
O Lord yearn for the ability to love like you do. To love others does not depend on their attitudes towards us nor if we feel like loving others or not. For it's a commandment from the Lord. Love another means wait no expectation, wait no to be loved back or honored back only God remember our efforts and caring deeds.
Well, i just see me through her, and this morning i was thinking about the past and i was saying to myself your past doesn't define your future but your present when you know and follow thats what define your future, because now you know the promise of the Lord over your life. He doesn't want to destroy you bit He wants you to prosper, and love you eternally.....
No matter what bad things people do or said to you just love them because they have small heart they will never understand your big heart talking to them.
Reckless love
I want to love like this💞
Broke my heart wide open💞
Okay, this mom is blowing through the Web asking for prayers from anyone and everyone - My 29 yr old son got myocarditis from taking the J&J vaccine. He's in rough shape - please pray for healing, anyone who sees this. Thank you.
Creatine, collagen and whey protein daily...make a shake. 🙏🙏🙏
TRUST IN THE LORD FOR THE GRIP YOU HOLD ON TO LOVE ,IN ONE EVEN TO ALL..THE TRUE FAITH IS WHOLE AND WHOLE WITH JESUS IN HIS ENDURMRNT TO SHOW THIS LOVE THAT EVEN ON THIS DAY "BELIEVE" LOVE HAS A NAME.I PRAY THE FACE OF HOPE INTO YOUR HARDEST DAYS..THAT YOU ARE ON LOVES MOND...JESUS'
Every time I hear Pastor Lisa speak, I’m instantly in tears. You can just FEEL the power of the Holy Spirit when she opens her mouth. She has such a grace on her life. It’s a tenderness that I can’t explain.
Same here!
I agree with you, Miss Kierra, 100%!!!! Lisa is truly annointed. She is a gifted speaker of the Word.
I love her humility and her soft spoken voice. Many in the ministry seem to yell or speak loud...she is gentle in her tone and her message then can pierce and soften the heart to recieve the words of Jesus Christ love and mercy for us. ❤ May she be blessed with abundant fruit.
I’m always in tears, but also laughing too! Best combo ever! Thank you Lisa Harper!!
I totally agree ❤️
The God she preaches about is the God I fell in love with! I didn’t even realize I was in love with Him until just now. 🙏🏾❤️
Lisa is so loveable. She shares deeply personal, touching, and extraordinarily witty and often hilarious stories, making the Bible come to life. I am becoming a huge fan at a turbo rate.
When I look at all the comments, I can not help but get excited to know that one day all of us will be united. I love you all brothers and sisters. Till we meet, stay blessed and persevere in The Lord.
So happy Pastor Steven Furtick shares his platform. I’ve been exposed to so many great pastors because of him. You can’t help but fall in with Lisa Harper.
I have been praying for Steven for some for some 3 plus years ... .. FINALLY. FINALLY.. FINALLY ....FINALLY .. HE HAS HAD THE BREAKTHROUGH !! BOOM. BOOM . ...OUT OF HIS SPIRITUAL MOTHERS WOMB !!
NATION WITH UNGODLY GOVERNMENT IS UNDER THE CURSE OF WITCH CRAFT. !!! WHOSE WITCH CRAFT !!! YOUR SPIRITUAL QUEEN MOTHER JEZEBEL UPON WHOSE HANDS ISSSSSSSSS THE BLOOD OF ALLLLL WHO HAVE DIED !!!!
STEVEN FURTECK CERTAINLY LAYS DOWN HIS LIFE FOR GODS CHILDREN ,AS DOES HIS HELP MATE. ! GOD BLESS !
To the 39 people that gave this a thumbs down, you are loved and this message was for you too. God bless Lisa and her child!
Lilly CazSmith This deserves a thumbs down, women can’t be pastors.
@@stevenquihuis715 oh, Steven, your ignorance is appalling. Please quiet down before you hurt yourself.
@@stevenquihuis715 - Lisa Harper meets *all* the requirements of being a pastor, I think you'll find..
@@stevenquihuis715 I'll pray for you Steven.
We need to help people like Steven have bigger hearts...
I never tire of listening to Lisa Harper. She's my absolute favorite!
I'm from South Africa and right now our country is enduring the worst. There is alot of hate and violence but listening to this sermon gave me so much hope. It was inspired, filled with the word of God and relatable. Love is the key.
I'm so sorry you're going through all of that but fear not for God is with you! One day there will be no fear cuz we will be in heaven with the Lord God
I love to listen to her, and it's not just because I'm menopausal too 😂 Seriously, she is just very real and very humble.
I am from South Africa. Was so pleasant to hear her speak about MY country. And in the same time someone in my family is a adopting a little girl that would not have had the chance to have parent love, and her hair is curly and their hair is straight, but it doesn't matter, love knows no boundaries, love is not stopped by the amount of melanin in your skin
Has she been to SA?? I love her.
I love her. ❤️
God bless and keep you for your kindness and support for an orphan. 👍😊🕊️🕊️🕊️🦅
SERMON NOTES:
Being liked isn't a prerequisite for being loving
Love hard even when its hard
If you put your hope in Christ you will receive Power
Your past does NOT dictate your future
God's love WONT give up on you!!!
Frankline B
Thank you for this because I was having a hard time comprehending what she’s saying
Love even if people hurt you
Amen
Proverbs 22:24, don't be friends with an angry man
It is never okay to contradict the Bible.
They just aren't real Christians.
Going through a really bad time and am impressed at how joyful she can be. I struggle with so many things and feel like JESUS won’t have time for me with all the worse issues in the world. It is both inspirational and frustrating all at once.
"We need to help them have bigger hearts"✔💯🤞
A hundred and 66 who disliked this video need prayer for a big heart.
This woman is beautiful in heart mind and physical I would listen to her all day 😍
There was no justifiable reason for having ill feelings towards a co-worker...I wouldn't even give him a second of eye contact. After listening to this message two times - back to back - the profound truth of seeing another person as Jesus' image bearer became so real. Fwd: this past Friday, July 12th, was a milestone in my life. I asked to speak with Bill in private, I began with a confession to my bad attitude toward him and asked for his forgiveness. At first it was awkward but the walls came crashing down. He accepted my forgiveness, we shook hands and God was glorified. Win - win - for Him! #lisaharper #lisadharper
To whoever is reading this- God loves you so so much,He wants to make everything okay with you❤️He knows your pain, He knows how you feel, He loves you so much and for that reason He sent Jesus (the worlds savior😊) to die so that we could all be made right with God if we asked for forgiveness and to start again through Him (because the thing that separates us from God is sin, which everyone of us has done, BUT God loved the world so much that He sent His Son to take the punishment for us & so that through Him we would be forgiven and have eternal life)💕He loves us so much that if we ask for forgiveness and a new start He will give it to us!His love is unconditional, His love is never ending, and His love is for you! He loves you just as much as anybody else! One of His promises is that He will never leave us, He is always going to stay by our side and in fact He always goes before us to work everything out!💕You matter so so much to Him, You are enough for Him, You are never to far away from Him- He loves you always! And the cool thing is that He wants a relationship with you! He wants a relationship with every single person, and He wants to make us all okay again!💕💕💕💕
❤❤❤❤
This was so beautiful! I’ve been struggling with learning how to honor difficult people in my life who are so completely different from me. God’s answer is love! Thank you for this ❤️
There's a saying, "Don't surround yourself with people who are as sick as you are." I had that experience. She isn't a bad person, but neither of us challenged one another, we didn't grow in God's love, because we were too similar! The people you need in your life are the ones that will cultivate, edify, and draw you closer to GOD, not to themselves! They will NOT be like you, and sometimes have different belief systems, but as long as you pray and ask God if they are good for you, and you ARE growing closing to God, then everything is serendipitous. As far as having to be loving towards those who are unkind, that is always a challenge. Jesus did say the world hated Him before it hated us. I just try to remember it isn't about me, and to forgive all the time when necessary.
Love is always the answer
@@ortizma13 Amen
The Love of Christ is all that I need
I have issues with mega churches....but still listen to Elevation Church and feel blessed everytime
Jesus went to the unlovely, the rough, coarse, outcast and healed and restored them to show his love for them. We ourselves not being perfect, He also loves deeply, forgiving our horrible past so the we would be new, and filled with His love reach out to minister love and lay hands on, to heal others who feel unworthy or lost and spread His deep love for mankind, HIS FAMILY. If he gives the directive or opportunity, we must run to share the love of God. Even if we can only start with “God loves you so much that He gave His only son so that you would be reconciled to Him.”
“It’s like putting a butter knife to a biscuit can”😂😂
I have never heard Lisa Harper but the opening prayer was enough for me. Wow, Jesus, Jesus! King Jesus!
Same!🙌
YES!!!!
Powerful prayer!!
I can't believe how much the sentence straight haired Mamas and curly haired affected me. Actual tears. Thank you God for sending this message to me. Our babies teach us so much!
Amen when it makes you cry like that hun that means that was the Holy Spirit speaking to you & knew you needed to hear that
OMG! She's amazing!!! Honestly when I seen that it was a woman speaker, I was a bit disappointed because I wasn't quite sure how to feel about women speakers due to different people in my ear, but her testimony and the overall sermon has touched me to the core! I see God in you and all I want to do is hug you! God bless you and your amazing daughter! You have changed my heart and my view.
The Word is powerful regardless of who brings it!!
I’d encourage you to check out Bianca Olthoff, Charlotte Gambill, Debbie Lindell, Nancy Alcon , Sheila Walsh, Darlene Schzeck and Chris Caine. They are all powerful vessels of God.
God can use anyone! People are pretty sneaky about projecting their insecurities and beliefs upon others when they aren't facing the truth about themselves. It's all about perception.
@@theatrechicka Thank you! Will do!
I felt/feel similar as you do about women preachers. Many are good, I know, but I'm still 🤔
now watching this sermon for the 4th time
Yes, third for me.
Currently dealing with difficult people and its so hard to love them!!!! But I wanna learn to love them just as Christ does
Lisa Harper is such a beautiful soul and light!! I am so grateful for hearing her message today!! ✝️🕯💟🌈
I love the way she explained the meaning of baptism! I got baptized last weekend at church and it was truly the most beautiful experience and the best day ever. All glory to God! Praise the Lord 🥲✝️🕊🌿
Oh this message blessed my heart. I have been a Christian my entire life (just know- that’s a long time lol). From my childhood and into my adult life and basically up until about 5 months ago I attended and belonged to predominantly Black churches. Five months ago the Lord led me to my new church and prior to attending I checked them out online. Honestly my first thought was “does this church have Black people?” You see, I somehow thought I could only grow and feel the presence of God in a church where people look just like me. It was ignorant and false ideation. Yet and still I felt an urging a pulling to go to this specific church. When I walked through the doors of The Life Christian Church in West Orange NJ I had a surreal encounter with God. When I say there multiethnic, multigenerational Christ loving people there… I felt God just highlighted everything I needed to see that day. I literally saw things in a church that I had never seen in my entire life. Sure I don’t live under a rock and have friends of different cultures and races but this felt different. I was overwhelmed with the presence of the Lord and as I left that day… I couldn’t help but think “this must be what heaven looks like”. Y’all I cried like a baby in my car in the parking lot.
John 3:16 hit different for me since that day. I am now fully immersed in the church. My son loves it, my family loves it. My pastors are anointed. I praise God with my sisters and brothers of all ages, stages, walks of life and ethnic backgrounds…
PRAISE GOD!! 🙌🏾
I LOVE Lisa Harper! I could listen to her all day!
Brandy Shadowen agree 👍🏼 Love her
It is now June 8th, 2020. The message is still so real, maybe more so. God never stops working, He never stops. He is relentless in His pursuit.
Me Too
SAME!! she is such a blessing ❤️
Please Pray that God can get through to my husband and restore our marriage and family for he is lost and really needs to choose God.
We are praying for you and your marriage, Sarah
Lisa I love to hear you girl! I watched this and cried during most of it. My son walked in the living room where I was on line and I was crying ...he said what's wrong? I just walked out of the room and you was fine come back and you are crying. LOL So I had to explain . This was heart touching and I loved watching. I have a niece that is mixed (white/black) a sweet beautiful little girl, the same things happen to her. She loves everybody always saying hey to everybody (she is 8) some people smile and say hey to her and then there are others that don't speak or that are just rude. I am a Christian but that's when The aunt comes out. lol Love Ya Sister in Christ !!!!!
Just was in a bad wreck shouldn’t be alive and here 5 days later I’m walking and my son was in car and didn’t even get A scratch That’s God right there😇
I clicked the like button before she began speaking because I knew I was going to be blessed, and I wasn't wrong.
I cried and laughed to tears! Lisa is so anointed and mama is serving face tonight 🔥🙌🏼🙌🏼👏🏼
Jesus is the only hope for the hopeless. Glory be to God.
May God heal South Africa from racism its still happening I exprience it everyday at work
Four years later, I found this for my cracked heart ✝️
But mended by our Savior....
Just what I needed....
Thank you, dear Jesus, for Lisa being your servant....
When I grow up I want to be like Lisa Harper… I’m from the south… I menopausal… And I try to be funny… So I’m on my way! What a beautiful gift God has given her
I am from South Africa Lisa and I am considered Coloured so racism is still very real for me and my kids but just wanted to thank you for your word of encouragement. Yes Jesus loves me This I know. Please continue the good work
I am from South Africa and was born in 1969, was in my twenties in 1994. And I must say that most South Africans were not brought up to discriminate. I was never taught to look down on people of other color and do not like it when it is generalized. Most South African people do get along and respect oneanother no matter what the color.
A beautiful sermon, thank you Lisa
They will know us by our Love for each other. Glad to see racism addressed though Love.
Proverbs 22:24, don't make friends with an angry man.
Matthew 7:1-3, don't judge by appearances.
“I got his buns over here” 😂😂😂🤣🤣
I just absolutely love her. The message had me all teary
Proverbs 22:24, don't make friends with a hot tempered man
Matthew 7:1-3, don't judge by appearances, skin color
Omg, I just came across this message. We are longing for messages like this within the body. The undertone of the message brought me to tears because I know how it feels feeling like an outcast in a free world and the place we should all feel loved. I know how it feels feeling like you’re reaching out and no one is reaching back because you’re not popular about, or you’re unknown. I’ve learned that God know me from the before He created the foundations of this world. I’m accepted by Him, He sees me, I’m never in the back of the room without a voice. When it’s all said and done, we can have however million followers on Instagram and Twitter - but we ought to live out the mandate of God so that we don’t get caught up in being popular, but that we love others enough by to hear at the end of it all,well done my good and faithful servant. That’s it. 🙏🏽
43 mins went by like 5 mins!
Her personal stories amplified the importance of loving people, regardless of what they look like and believe, even when it is hard. Loved it!
In light of whats happening right now this messages needs to be heard again and shared with many. Thankyou Lisa and Missy
referring to Gugulethu as "Gugs" made me love her even more. Much love from South Africa
Genuine Christian comedian! She is awesome!!!
Lisa is so transparent, the rawness of her testimonies and messages is what gets to me.
I about fell out when she was talking about Pete and explained how she "can call him Pete and not Peter because she knows him". Dude, I tell so many people that same exact thing. Pete - a normal dude that God just worked through in a huge way!!
John DeMasters we all love Pete 😂😂
Aw, I love Lisa Harper SO SO SO SO much! 😄😄, even when she slightly blunders, she is brilliant. Everything she said was full of the meat of the Word👌🏽
you have no idea how many times I cried while watching this video in the middle of class. this message is a blessing and something I will keep close to me. Pastor Lisa, please come to Singapore!!
Lisa Harper! You have really BLESSED my Sunday morning✨ Missy is certainly God's gift to you.
I just discovered Lisa. She is such a blessing🙏 and amazing teacher of God's word! Love her and Missy.❤
I am from Haiti, I am so happy you adopted her. ❤❤ May GOD bless you
I live with an evil narcissist and speak the truth at all times to him.. I also set bounderies.. In between I send just the right song of love and I see his heart changing..
Don't give up on them.. Love overlooks all offences..
A call to action for all believers: open your mouth and tell people about Jesus. Awesome message Lisa. Thank you!
She is such a breath of fresh air.. Her face just lights up and she makes the whole room light up
THIS LADY definitely has a GIFT. LOVE HER!
So profound and timely message from Lisa Harper! 👏 Please guys, don’t take this sermon for granted it’s crucial for the times we are in...her description of God’s love ❤️ for us as, all redeeming, rescuing, forgiving, healing and will press all the way in to make you a child of God brought me to my knees- this is how we should love as Christians.
1 John.3:1 ITS TIME WE love hard even when it is hard! Thank you JESUS!!! Thank you Elevation church!!
Crying because somebody ran to me. I'm 🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃Lisa to share this hope. 😍😅
So good! Man I love the way Ms. Harper preaches. She is so funny and relatable.
I'm thankful for Lisa Harper's ministry through her Christian living. Thank you, Miss Harper, for sharing your life experiences of presenting the gospel in countries that aren't very accepting, if at all, of Christ.
I wonder if Heather is watching??😂🙏🏻
Got me wondering if it was Heather Lindsey🤔
Flights. Atlanta. Jesus. Perkiness - probably her
Lydia Eads @heatherlove @heatherlindsey
I wondered that too.
@@MorinaKahuure Pretty sure Heather Lindsay knows who Lisa Harper is. This woman sounded like your average lady from church
I thank God for the love that men and women have the love of God in their hearts come share the good news of Jesus Lisa Harper is one of those people who just recently start listen to and every time she’s on any platform it bless my heart thank Elevation for having her there what a blessing
We got to teach them to have "bigger hearts." So simple yet so amazing.
Proverbs 22:24, don't make friends with an angry man
Its never okay to contradict the Bible.
They just aren't real Christians.
It always amazes me that my Father made people like Lisa and I. He takes our wounded souls, cleans us up and says, daughters I love you, go spread my love. Thanks Elevation Church thank you Lisa for your honesty and Godly love.
Honestly jumped on my bed for joy when I saw this. I loveeeee aunty Lisaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!! Ready to hear God's word today
She feels like a universal aunty
@@eb6973 Exactly!!! Like she's Aunty to us all!! Lol. Glory to God!
I cried too much while watching the sermon, it's full of God's love.
Asking for prayer, only existing, it's a terrible depressing way to live
I needed to hear this as a christian myself talk about Jesus in this day of increasing issues of racial divide. Thank you Elevation and L. Harper.
Wow Lisa!!! You are soooo overwhelming sharing the Holy Spirit in a way that I can tell my brothers and sisters. I am a homeless woman wih a large cat that is for my emotional support
First time listening to this lady, MAN! SHE IS BRINGING THE WORD!
Thank God for Lisa Harper 🙏🙌💞
This message is an opener. It has challenged me to love unconditionally.
I have so fallen in love with this women of God! I am a faithful watcher of Better together. I have just started listening to her sermons and I am so grateful for the God and the teacher in her she makes my heart become undone 😭😭👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Just love this sweet lady, she so real!💖
Greetings from South Africa
Much love for you Lisa and the whole of Elevation Church ❤️
I loveeee Ms. Lisa Harper! She’s so warm. I’m not a Christian but when I hear her preach, my heart want to know what she knows. She’s doing something right. 💛
Becoming a Christian is pretty easy. All it takes is acknowledgment of sin, repentance for our sins, accepting Jesus Christ as the ONLY payment for our sins with His death on the Cross. And asking Him to be your Saviour. It is that simple i hope to meet you in Heaven someday.
Heather Searles thank you Mrs. Heather! 💛
Please pray that God will my family and change our lives.
Prayes for you and family, please pray for mine Atwell, as we are praying for a miracle.
Hi👋 I'm watching this today 04/11/2020 from Cape Town, South Africa, year where we all need to hear this message!
I was so moved by you Lisa❤️ I can tell you have such a big heart and I pray that God may bless you and your daughter as you continue God's great works🙏😇
Watched countless times her sermon about life when everything falls apart. That sermon has really became my strength, and now, this another sermon of hers came to the right time of my life. ❤️💖 thank you
Gelli Danielle same! I love Lisa Harper
Me too i listened to that sermon today & it was so surreal for me i was like Gosh my God is good🙏🙏🙏🙏
My two precious gifts that God blessed me with left me to go be their dad who never wanted them in the first place.
They blame me for everything that he did to us. Saying it's all my fault that I caused him to leave. He chose to walk out on us to go have his freedom and mess around.
They no longer consider me their mom anymore. They stopped loving me, don't want to have anything to do with me.
They've shattered my heart deeply. They know the truth of what their dad did to us, but yet they blame me and don't want to have anything to do with me.
So tell me. How can I "love" when the two most important people (my kid's) stopped loving me.
It's hard to love when you don't get love in return
💔
My wife Lisa and I love you sweetheart 💗 thank you for your service.
I needed this, im struggling to love in my community because of the violence, drugs and just utter drama. But this has given me hope. Thank you. ✨
Omg!! Such a Beautiful message. I was headed home one morning and I heard God say Tina I'm sending you to other nationalities. And I said Lord, wherever you send me I'll go. God sent me a little Orphan girl to preach to Cherokee Indians. It was a life changing experience for me and I remember telling them that they were my family. My God continue to bless you to share His Word!!
Her Song of Song series was amazing
A testimony is first lived. Wow!!! What a heart!
To those that thumbs down this powerful message, I wish y’all were closer so I could go Heather on you. Be blessed and be well.
Love love love you Lisa❤❤❤. I'm always moved to listen to anything you teach, was so moved by this from Cape Town South Africa 🇿🇦 🇿🇦 made me love you even more. Stay blessed beautiful woman of God🙌🙏💖
As a multiracial family WE LOVE YOU Ms. Lisa❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Lisa, thank you for being so transparent. We can relate to you because of your honesty. We love you! Awesome message!
Glory to God in the highest and thank you for this spirit moving word.God bless you and elevation church
I’m so grateful to have Lisa’s sermon bless me this morning. What a message!
Lisa you are absolutely amazing! Much love 🌍🙏🇿🇦
I have just learned about Lisa but i agree. Every message i hear i laugh and cry. I have been away from God for a little bit and these messages are amazing no matter the time.
I love listening to her she preachs with a sense of humor ❤❤
Anytime I am it is an elevation.
