The Other Side Of Hiding | The Leader's Cut w/ Preston Morrison
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 ส.ค. 2023
- The field of anonymity is one of God's greatest gifts -- a place to grow, a place to shape, a place to draw close, all under the covering of Him. Some of God’s BEST work is done in hiding. But what happens once He decides to no longer hide us? How do we steward the new mantle? And what do we do with this new measure of influence?

Grateful to God for unveiling you. Your wisdom and teachings have blessed me tremendously and have helped me to become the woman God created me to be. You’re my favorite Discipler I’ve come across in my walk 🙏
I needed to hear this! Thank you for obeying Him 🙏🏾
Amen!! God Bless you Preston, I receive your message in a bottle with gladness and humility.❤
Thank you for this message! God brought me out of hiding on 6/30 and I was begging Him to put me back in hiding because the exposure was heavy and scary. Thank you for THIS Word. It confirmed what God was telling me in my quiet time. He told me to Embrace the Uncovering of my Gift. Ps. Tell Timmy I said, Hello❣️😊
Preston, I thank God for you stepping out because it was for me to walk in. I ran from it for about 3-5 months but since that basement, God has been using you for me to have God be my best friend. I’ve heard God speak chills to my spine with quotes you’ve said and he’s just told me to watch, listen, and pray.(I even started watching Pastor Robert too 😊) Now my wife and I are moving 4hr from everything we known our whole life to be in Eden with him. Pray for us to start, be, and finish well with our season of hiding. If you have any Godly advice, I’m open. I love you leaders and I’m praying for you all too!
CHRRIIISSS!!!! There’s so much here, my man! I’m so grateful you feel the Lord has been speaking to you every time we sit down together each week. And, not gonna lie, it made my heart EXPLODE when you said you’ve started watching Pastor Robert now too. I WOULDN’T BE ME WITHOUT HIM!!! I am certainly praying for you as you transition in this season. May you see God move mightily and intimately in your life in such a way that it renders you speechless!
@@prestonmorrison4094I was just turned on to you yesterday. Who is Pastor Robert? Where can I find his teachings? I'm starting a whole new season as of today and I'm studying under you Mr. Morrison. For three years I've been studying under T.D. Jakes and as deep as he is you said some things on Instagram Reels that have confirmed somethings for me. Looking thru your videos you're actually saying a lot of things that are where I'm at in life. I was so lost and frustrated for a few weeks until you came along. I'm o Instagram under a different handle and I'm going to be watching every day.
God is literally using these podcasts to help me hear Him as He is pruning me. This is the hardest season of my life and these have helped me so much to navigate through this time. I’m so grateful He seeks me out and knows when I’m trying to run. 20 plus years of covering up, so grateful He sees I’m ready.
When you fixate on the benefit of influence, then you don’t understand it. WOW!
Wow! This word is THE WORD!
Thank you so much, I love and enjoy doing this with you too, learning and evolving. God bless you!
Asking for prayer as I come out of hiding or being hidden by God! I’m hosting my first prayer zoom at the end of the month prompted by the Holy Spirit. And if only one person or fifty show up I know God will be pleased!
YEEESSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!! I am praying GOD shows up on that zoom and WHOEVER else shows up that they would experience the tangible presence of God on that call!! Way to step out!!
One more thing Preston can you pray for my family that we find a new place to live we might be getting evicted soon just pray that God provides a place for us to live because we're behind on rent I don't know what's going to happen with that I know God's hand is with us but I just want prayer on that as well
Praaaay preston praaaay 🙌🏼🔥
It’s His children’s superpower :))
Man of God I have been moved by your words before but today I heard a word from God to me through you. It was confirmation. It was clarity. It was encouragement and it was understanding. I am humbled by His grace and grateful for your submission to His will. Blessings to you, your family and your ministry. 🙏🏾❤️
Hiding is the price! Influence is a wait. It’s not a gift. It’s a burden. Wowwwwwww
The part about the audience size got me!! If even one person hears from God it will be enough for me! Even if it’s just to prove my own obedience it’ll be enough for me. And the part where you said it’s like a message in the bottle, I just have to package it and it’s God who makes sure it gets to the right beach!! Love that 🫶🏻 easy to forget. We’re quick to forget that every interaction is a chance to impact someone for Christ or give them a false impression of Him
Did not disappoint pastor Preston. Another awesome word. My wife and I love spending time watching and praying with your Cut series.
I like how when his daughter called he said, “She’s off to college”😂😂🙌🏾🙌🏾
Get out of my business 😭. I have been hearing God for a while. Avoiding and covering. I have been in a place of hiding and it’s oooh soooo sweet. I have loved the closeness of His warmth. I intentionally do NOT want to be seen by anyone but Him.
Even more as a single woman and desiring the closeness of Gods pursuit. I want to keep my eyes on Him and only Him. Nothing less and nothing but. I pray for my eyes to be on Him and stay FIXED on His gaze. After a person comes out of hiding it’s hard to return for good. I feel selfish in some ways to want to remain within Him and nestled in His arm. Thank you for being obedient with your vulnerability.
HE got in my business, first. :)))
Hi Pillar family!!! Love you!
Hiding isn’t an assignment hiding is a season 🤯😭🙏🏾
Loved this one too. :)
Man, I know this one was for me! I've literally made so many conclusions in my process of hiding, it's comical. I mean I began by accepting it as God's punishment for my not so godly choices and life. Then I began wrestling with it because it seemed so long and painful and didn't feel like punishment but more of a delay. Now, I've come to realize, through God using you and others around me, that this has been a place of rest and learning to lean so heavily on God for EVERYTHING. As a first-gen immigrant, I've been taught that working hard will give you results, but for all these years I just figured it was because of ME that those results were good. And so God took me on this long, excruciating at times, but beautiful process of humbling, and I didn't see it as such until a few months ago. Now, everything that's happened is so much clearer, and I'm just enjoying the sweetness of hiding with God. But I'm starting to feel Him shift me ( just as I am starting to enjoy hiding 😭😭) out of it. And I pray that I am still able to lean on Him just as heavily if not more in this "not hiding" place. I'm just scared to mess it up to be honest. So please pray for me as I SLOWLY but surely make my way into a place where I have a bigger responsibility and much more pressure, so that I may bring Him glory through it ALL.
I am praying!!!
powerful!
I already commented but this latter part of the video was a call out for me. It felt like Preston had listened in on my prayers. God called me to do something & I have slacked off.
GET YOU SOME!!! He is WITH you!!!!!!
Thank you so much!
Preston thank you so much for your leadership and obedience
Hey Preston! Thank you for your obedience and growth.. I have so loved my anonymity. I’ve never wanted to post my life and have probably shared similar view to social media that God has been working with you on. I have seen how God can use it and have felt led to post some videos of my own. If you would, I would love you to pray that Gods next steps for me would be clear. I don’t want to do anything without God and I need my motives to be pure.
-influence is a weight, but not being in obedience to the father is heavier.
WHAT A ONE-LINER AT THE END!!!! Disobedience is heavier?!?!?! You win, Hannah, you win.
Wow wow wow. I was upset at myself for being a couple TLC’s behind but know I know it’s bc the Lord needed me to hear it TODAY. I’ve been in a season of hiding and I feel like the fog is lifting. I’ve been in denial about it though because I’m afraid of making the wrong next step. Fear of screwing it up. I’ve been on such a sweet journey with the Lord specifically in the last 10 months and after this cut, my ears are even more attentive to what God has been saying and is pushing me to do. Thank you Preston for your obedience!
Preston, thank you so much for sharing. I found this video exactly when I needed it. I finished sobbing after watching "what if God did nothing else" the night prior, so I needed to do the question section yesterday. God had completely taken my breath away to show me that I actually have more than I did prior to following him. I am heading into a season of influence to tell the story of his victory, and I am exiting a season of hiding due to a long winter of loss. This changed my perspective just at the right time, and I needed to hear this. You're doing a good thing by allowing the Holy Spirit to let you communicate the hard things, and using your influence for good. I'm sure it's scary to throw out the things that people need to hear, but your obedience to God is changing lives.
Well, you were definitely talking to this sister in hiding. 18 long yrs. I am getting ready! Thank you! I do feel my season in hiding is over. The Holy Spirit pierced my heart through your message. ❤ I am a messenger of the gospel...in hiding. Sheeesh what a word!
The wisdom that flows from you, the great leaders, speakers, and others that you point out are gold!! God is using you and all the others to help guide, clarify, and confirm what God has on my path. So much gold in this message today 🔥🔥
LOVE that you felt God speak to you!!!! Thanks for the very kind words about my friends and heroes!!
Acts 20:20: “I never shrank back from telling you what you needed to hear, either publicly or in your homes.” - thank you for modeling this and spurring us on! That public part is hard but He’s using it- I know I need to hear this today for my own unique walk
Thanks Brittany. I don’t always enjoy it but I’m grateful for what God does when I’m obedient in it. :)
This message blessed me. Thank you for your obedience!
This Word was needed. God be speaking to me about coming out of hiding. Thank you for sharing.
thank you so much Preston love you brother I didn't look at influence like that before man but it is powerful thank you for giving me that perspective now I'm going to look at influence in a whole different way now because God has given me the weight Pray for me man pray that I am okay with being in the season of humbling out and not being seen not being known as well and I'm okay with being sat down at my church and all those other things pray that I get More excited with God's presence in this place of in between
Learning so much!!! thanks so much Preston
Sir…… 😮💨 I’ve been tuned into your channel since you’ve collaborated with ya boy the FIRST time. Every message cuts and I LOVE it. It’s proof to me that His Word is still alive & sharper than any two-edged sword. The night I met the Lord He had me stretched out on Heaven’s surgery table.
To you, thank you for delivering this message. I relate to most but this was for me. I’ve come to love being in hiding though the Lord has already called me a queen and given me a prophecy of what He has for me to do. But now that you’ve sent this message, I fear what this next transition will look like.
Pray that I stay abiding in God: trusting and relying on Him. I love you big brother and I’m glad He has you going through it before me so I can learn from you. 😂😂
See you soon,
Queen Alviana
I will ABSOLUTELY be praying!!!
Here’s something the Lord helped me understand about your concern about still abiding. I literally said the EXACT same thing. And the Lord goes, “Preston, you don’t have to hide, to abide.” HIT ME LIKE A TON OF BRICKS!!!
Thank you for the very encouraging words as well!
I wouldn't have thought this applied to me and that I'm just here to listen as I do, until you said coming out of hiding was coming out of the wilderness. I would certainly say I've been in the wilderness for a few years now - perfectly content to be so - but I didn't (and still don't necessarily see it) as hiding. I also thought of how tired I had become of social media a few years back, practically to the point of disdain. Once upon a time it was fun, easy, and essential in what I was doing. I enjoyed it. Now? I truly am sick of it; don't care if people at a distance - even family and friends - know about some special thing in my life. If they aren't in my life in person or at least by phone or email, they'll just find out eventually - maybe. Then I started following someone who is rapidly gaining followers as she does her Bible study. I took to her and almost instantly felt like I was meant to help this stranger somehow. Six months later, I give one little thought of something I wanted to do to help her and I find out she's practically alone in what she's doing. She quickly makes me one of her FB group admins. Even odder is I don't mind! 😄My social media disdain is still there in practically every way except for what I do for her. I kinda marvel at that. I guess it remains to be seen if this message is actually meant for me in any way, but it's interesting to watch and have someone talk about the trip on the way up.
Thank you!!
JOHN 3:22-26
Hello! 👋🏾 I’m just wondering where the Bible verse is from that you say at the beginning. The ‘to the extent that I desire to use you one’. Thank you!
Hello! It’s not a verse. Just something I felt the Lord say. I do believe we see it all throughout Scripture tho. God did surgery on Moses for 40 years in Midian. Just one example of something God did consistently with people He used. Blessings!!
@@prestonmorrison4094 Thank you so much for your reply! I completely agree and I had checked but I thought to just drop a message. I love your podcast btw and the friend of God series. Very inspiring stuff! God bless 🙏
I’m currently in hiding and enjoying the provision. Pastor Preston as a Pastor/preacher, should I be working on building sermon content aside from praying and fasting?
1000% yes. I absolutely believe David was penning songs, psalms, and journal entries while he was in the field of anonymity. Timmy and I both feel the Lord have us years and years to line up messages we would preach for decades to come. The more time bread has in the crockpot, the hotter it is when it comes out the oven. :))
@@prestonmorrison4094 thank you for answering. God bless you.
Curious.. is there a list to meet you or be a guest?
How do we prepare?
Can you link the Tom lane sermon on fathers that you mentioned please?
There isn’t one yet but I texted him a screenshot of your comment and told him that’s what we need to cover when he comes on TLC the first time. :) Thanks for the push! :)
I was looking for it too!
😮 Seriously right now! No more hiding 🫣. Publishing the book of life building moments the Lord gave us over the last 30 years. Books for families to connect the minds of children to their parents as we practice what we learn from God the ultimate parent. This generation needs to know how to build a relationship the God of the universe before they are out of ‘Sunday School.’
The confirmation that I didn’t want to hear. 🫣
These are the kind of comments I love. :))
