  • 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.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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...
