The Gift Of Grief | Lisa Harper | Elevation Church
Some of us have believed the lie that “sad is bad,” and we’ve only brought our positivity to God. But when we bring our disappointment to Him, we learn that difficult seasons can become the cornerstone of our faith. Lisa Harper encourages us that our compassionate God is near in “The Gift Of Grief.”

Thank you for continuing to stand with me for my breakthrough. God is working it all out behind the scenes and I am waiting…
God bless you!
I always look forward to Lisa’s visits! Thank you 🧡
amen she is family
@@mrsh2167what do you mean by the gift of grief? Ayuda!💨💨🐚🐚
My sermon notes for “The gift of grief”
1.) Right belief, right practices, right feelings
2.) It’s best not to pay attention to the opinions of the masses
3.) Self- reliance is not a spiritual gift
4.) Do not ache in isolation
5.) Walking in divine power presupposes a pit
6.) Formal theology vs. functional theology. Functional theology is how you live
7.) Stop feeding your offense. Instead, feed your faith. Don’t let grief take you away from the presence of God. Pretense makes the gap wider, Jesus is in the gap
Great note taking, but do not ache…period!🌅🌅🌅
Thank you Lisa I love elevation church myself & have to listen to negatives along the way BUT NOTHING WILL CHANGE MY BELIEF OR
MIND THANK YOU PAST SYEVEN FURTNICK AND YOUR GUEST !!!!
Thank you God 🙏
That even in hard times even when I feel like it’s not it you are still here with me
we love you Lisa
I may never understand how God sends the messages as the right time. But I am thankful for the reminder that it is okay to grieve.
@@yearinsolitude Grief is all about comforting those who mourn. Period!🌈🫧🌈🫧🌈🔥
Amen
I completely agree! My husband celebrates his 8 years in Heaven in the morning & meanwhile, I’m just trying to make it as if I’m really happy for him & not “that sad” for me anymore… but the truth is! The truth is…. BUT GOD!! 🙌🏽
Jesus, thank you for the gift of grief. My heart is broken, and I’m going through it. Please help me accept things as they are without any expectation other than you’re here with me. Guide me Lord.
Indeed 😢😢😢
I’ve experienced this first hand with God being near to me when it’s a dark place and in that bottom pit and you feel abandoned by everyone you even feel like God and all of heaven are not near and and you just want to throw in the towel ; it’s 1000% the opposite God is sooo near and your breakthrough is also.
I lost two children since 2020. God stays close in the valley but I’m grateful he has stayed close to me and walked me forward. I’m stuck though
Thank you I needed that my daughter has been gone to be with Jesus for two years and almost 5 months and I feel like I am getting worse. Your wirds actually helped me feel like there is hope for me to feel God’s presence again and trust Him and not live in fear of another loss in my life. ❤️🙏😇
@@nancylane4236 Grief still hurts, even as I lost my dad 12 years ago! (In 2012) 🥭🍍🥭🍍🥭🍍
Greatest man who ever walked on earth, had no servants, yet they called him Master. Had no degree, yet they called him Teacher. Had no medicines, yet they called him Healer. He had no army, yet rulers feared him. He claimed no territory, yet they called him King. He won no military battles, yet he conquered the world. He defeated all his enemies, yet he never harmend anyone. He committed no crime, yet they crucified him. He was buried in a tomb, yet he lives today . His name is Jesus.
@@ElevationWorshipMusics grief is a tough process….now what?🤷🤷🤷
From South Africa I grieve the loss of my husband…I am in the gap waiting on God for selling our home and relocating. Please pray for our family during this chapter in our life.
I am sorry for your loss. I too live in South Africa. May God give you the strength you need at this time and the peace and comfort of Holy Spirit engulf you. ❤
Wow! This is such confirmation as a widow (husband passed 2 yrs ago). The amount of people who have pushed their grief aside as it was not allowed because they felt God would be ashamed for them to FEEL how it is to lose a son and brother,nephew is astounding and how they would push me to do the same. But I lost my husband of 23 yrs with 4 kids. Only 41 years when he passed, I couldn’t push that love aside. And for anyone going thru the same, God is with you. He will meet you there in your tears and heartbreak
I pray for God’s comfort, for whoever is mourning, sad, or has lost the courage to move on. Just know that his grace is still sufficient and you are not lost in the mind of God. Please know he is the strength in your weakness 🙏🏾
My father passed this past week and the overwhelming feeling that I was masking with a giant smile was completely taking over. I did not want to seem ungrateful to avoid even forgetting that he knows my heart. Thank you for this word.
This Sermon has wrecked me! Thank you for preaching just to me! It has brought such comfort to my weary soul. My grief is so heavy. Thank you Jesus for this grief!
Me too! I don’t think there was a dry eye in that church.
I cried so much during the sermon. Thank you Lisa for always speaking straight to my heart!
I normally don’t comment on these type of videos, but I felt compelled to do so today. I lost my mom on 06/12/2024. She was only 64 and I have been struggling everyday since. I’m not sad because my mom loved God and I know she’s in heaven, but I’m grieving because we hadn’t talked or seen each other in 12 years. I feel sad, angry, lonely, and confused. To make matters worse, my brothers have special needs and they were in her care when my oldest brother found her. I have experienced grief before but this pain has been the hardest to deal with. I know God is the closest to me during these times and I’m trying to lean on him because I don’t understand. Please pray for me and my family.
Grief may not always feel like a gift, but you’re not alone! If you’re struggling this week we challenge you to find someone you trust, and share with them what you’re going through!
