When You're Under A Dark Cloud (with Tim Ross) | The Leader's Cut w/ Preston Morrison
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 10 ต.ค. 2023
- Preston sits down with Tim Ross to discuss seasons where it feels like you’re stuck in a funk, those times where it feels like a dark cloud is hanging over your head and nothing that you attempt seems to make it go away. How do we get out of it? How do we move past a posture of cowering to a posture of standing? And how can we invite God into the process?

Hi. I'm the one lamenting the loss of a brother. He just passed unexpectedly 2 weeks ago. It's one of the hardest things I've ever endured. Everyone keeps praying for comfort and all I want is for Jesus to sit in my pain with me. As to what y'all said in the episode all I want is for God to sit in this cut with me. There's so many things that you spoke on that spoke to where I'm at right now. Thank you for the conviction around reading my bible. I've only picked it up once since everything went down. And I know I need it now more than ever. It's time to eat.
May the LORD JESUS indeed come and sit with you my dearest Sis. Last year May I was there and as i cried every night on the pillow, all I could say is "Help me LORD JESUS". I went to church prayer, I couldn't sing, couldn't lift up my hands but just cried (sat with GOD) whole hour in HIS house and in HIS presence. I went again the next month and did the same... just stood there crying and I uttered "May the LORD bless me and keep me" - the ground was so shaky i had to pray that unto myself. my appetite was shut off completely by grief... something that had never happened to me, to hardly eat for 4 full weeks. Lastly, I woke up daily and went to work and hence the cries were at night. And 4 weeks later I laughed for the very first time and the sun shined then on in my grief yes as it takes time / years even and even a lifetime. May HE keep YOU.
I just want to tell you this truth…over the lie that has been planted, The Lord is with you he is sitting right with you in what you are facing right now, For he says he will never leave you nor forsake you 🙏🏾 I thank God for your life and for the life of your brother, I pray for you to feel God’s presence and for Him to heal your heart & mind with His truth written above, May you see and know Him in a new way in Jesus name Amen 🙏🏾
I lost my brother suddenly as well in 2019. I was so angry with God but a friend of mine gave me the best advise ever: make sure you seek God. At the time I didn't know what she meant and I wasn't really feeling it. BUT I found myself going to Him more and more...angry, depressed, suicidal,
all of it. He brought me out. He rescued my life! He is with you l, look to Him. Love you sis.
I lost my brother 9 years ago to his own hands. I'm still wondering why? Not sure if Jesus will answer that burning question.😢
I am sorry! I went through difficult seasons too and if I can give you an Advice is cry to God and don’t isolate yourself. May our Lord Jesus keeps you company in this difficult time
'We literally turn a temporary season into a permanent narrative" 💯💯💯🗣🗣🗣
That girl in a corner was me.
I don't usually cry watching a pod but this one had me bawling my eyes out. After the pod i went straight to prayer and i cried out to God, i cannot tell you the massive healing i got when He spoke to me. Thanks a lot for doing the pod, may God receive the glory
Talk about a Masterclass in defeating anxiety, depression and oppression may God bless you both for your obedience and teaching!
I’m pretty sure this saved my walk with the Lord. I’m ready to sit up now. 🥲
🙏❤️🙏
Yes sit up and EAT!
What just happened? I almost threw up, i cried, i sobbed, i rejoiced, i learned, I'm hungry...i don't even know what's going on here. As a testimony, I recently, with complete and total help from the incredibly loving God of the Universe, got out from under the worst dark cloud I've ever experienced and this was SO good, timely and Spirit- filled i don't even....
Thank you. This cut went deep but oh my my my...
Love you! Happy for you!
"Disappointment weaponizes your pain" 💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥
I heard this podcast two days ago and today I'm sitting listening to it again and literally taking notes because it was a prophetic word for me! I was that girl in the corner defeated with fear and discouragement especially on that day and God allowed this podcast that was filmed 8 months ago pop up on my YT feed. I instantly came out from under that cloud after listening! Glory to God!
“Egypt isn’t for me - but the path to the promise may be more difficult than I anticipated” The weight behind this is indescribable
SIT UP, GET UP, EAT!!!! Today, tomorrow, & all the days of your life.
Thank you Pastor Tim & Pastor Preston
Get up! Out of the dark-corner.
Set up ! For your light has come.
Eat! The word of God.
I’m am blessed beyond words. Thank you 🙏
In 2012 I was suicidal that was that dark cloud but Jesus found me and began a work in me. Been in the wilderness ever since but counting it all joy
‘Disappointment weaponizes your pain’
Amen
re examine. Reflect.
💯
“Some wounds don’t need to heal. We just need to live in it. That’s why Jesus came back with His still there.” Wow
WE LOVE YOU!!!
Definitely a young woman battling fear during a custody battle, being sober for over 5 months and walking through financial hardship. The things that used to calm my fear are no longer a part of my life praise God. This is a piece of why everything feels bigger. Thank you for being led by the Holy Spirt every week. ❤
Praying for you ❤
The Lord used the algorithm so I could watch this today!! I’ve been in a funk since my divorce that was completely my fault and this has stopped me in my tracks from coping with more fornication. Thank you Lord I can take this L and receive the sufficient grace.
I understood exactly what you were saying with the seducing spirit of depression. I was literally balled up on the corner of the bed just 2 days ago giving into that feeling of what I call "succumbing to the darkness" when you know that voice in your head is lying to you, and it's just feels easier to give in. I feel like God led me to this video, thank you! I love you guys.
This is an amazing podcast. I am in a battle right now, but I am the one who is praising and worshipping Jesus still.
I thought a man i met at church was the one for me, this is confirmation. This episode was hard for me to hear and healing at the same time. Lord, why are you so good to me? 😩
IT WAS ME!!!!!!! FROZEN IN THE CORNER BAWLED UP ON TOP OF MY DEAD FATHER'S PICTURES... SCREAMING I WANT MY DADDY SO LOUD IN TERROR BUT I NEEDED MY ABBA!!!!!!! I, I'M 39 Oklahoma City been in isolation since covid trying to fight the demons surrounding me. Keep in mind when I moved into this apartment in February of 2021 I named my apartment "The Br00klyn Basement"
Chile... I am in probably one of the biggest disappointments in my walk in the Lord. Im doing my best. It's hard. Thank you for this.
This was definitely me a few years ago. I’m so glad I have found you two. My bestie and I are the female version of you guys.
I’m a lost cause for the enemy! In Jesus name! Amen ❤
Heyyy POTC(people of the cut) family it’s always a good show when we can pull up a seat with Tim and Preston
I watched this yesterday, but I'm coming back now that I've organized my thoughts. At 21, I know without a doubt that I'm the girl that you described in the opening, so much so that i burst into tears just hearing you reiterate that image.
I believe I received a word from God from at the beginning of this month about what the end of my year would look like, and I've been frenetic about it, fearing that I wasn't doing my part and that He would take his "promise" away from me because of that.
I've been attacked spiritually every evening for the past two weeks with hateful thoughts uncommon to me (usually, I struggle with being self-critical of my performance, but these insults focused on my appearance), yet I couldn't escape them. I cried every night and even began to agree with the deprecating comments, wondering why I felt so weak against what I knew were darts of the enemy. This Leader's Cut showed me that I was 'jumping the gun' to disappointment before the end of the year, thinking that if the word I heard turned out to be false, it would hurt less then if I wallowed in these lies that felt like the truth now.
This video made me realize that I may not know whether or not it was God that said the word I'm choosing to believe, so I may not know whether or not it will come to pass. But like I told Him this morning, whether He said it or I misheard...I don't have anywhere else to go. I can only follow the Pillar. Even if I wanted to walk away from Him in disappointment or depression, I don't think I could. What else is there worth following in this life?
Thank you, Uncle Preston (if I can call you that😅) and Uncle Tim. Your obedience has helped me countless times, and this Leader's Cut was no different🤍
Lord I can listen to you guys all day!!!! I went from your Wilderness video to this one because I cried the other day to someone on the phone and literally was crying out why it seems there is a dark cloud over me.......one thing after another, hit after hit on my finances. I feel like I just cant get a break but THIS RIGHT HERE IS SPEAKING LIFE INTO WHAT SEEMS LIKE A DEAD SITUATION WITH MY FINANCES. WOOOOO Jesus I THANK YOU LORD Hallelujah!!! ........GIRL GET UP!!!!! 💃💃💃💃 GOD BLESS YOU BOTH!!!!!
This was so on POINT😭 GET UP SIT UP AND EAT!! Wow!! God is so kind when he knows what exactly he wants to speak literally every single sentence from the pod ♥️
Thank you so much for this message! I didn't pass the Bar Exam this July and a dark cloud was on the rise, and this message caused me to get to the root of this outcome. NOW I am ready to GET UP, SIT UP, and EAT! Onwards to the February Bar!!! Thank you Tim Ross and Preston Morrison!!
I didn't pass my medical license exam this November. I was under a dark cloud for weeks because I came so close but couldn't make the pass mark. On to the February exam!
I'm the girl you are talking to
I've gotten up
I'm stepping out of the darkness and into the light, thank you!!!!
Thank you!!!!
I'm just here crying, thank you lord for loving me enough to set this conversation up
‘When he stops whispering and you start reciting it.’
*I got chills* EVIL.
…reciting it as your word straight to manifestation. That’s wild!! & so true. That strategy is SLIMY and SLICK!! Just like the destroyer of good.
Checkmate.
Wow Tim thank you for this story from your life. I am still wrestling with my past because I put Jesus glitter on it instead of taking the L 🤯🙌🏾😭
I literally am so full... so much of what was spoken, i resonate with... it's been two years since we lost our eldest child, our son, 18 years of age, to a brain tumor. God gave him more time than the diagnosis. The trauma and disappointment...whew...we were in ministry and growing.
My challenge is, reconciling that painful, heart wrenching season with who I know and have already experienced God to be. I cannot escape Him, yet my loss is so great...I war and I cannot even begin to put into words the battlefield of my heart, my mind, my soul...if there was a cause and effect...if there was an action and reaction...maybe i can rationalize it all...whew...this conversation had...My Lord...
Thank you both and Blessings to You!
I couldn’t write fast enough and rewound several times to not miss the saving points! I am overwhelmed and in plain awe of GOD and how He spoke through you both!! My GOD I THANK YOU!!! Change the narrative- never agree with a liar
This one got me - satan doesn’t lie to GOD because he can’t! GOD says a liar can’t tarry in my sight! I have NEVER heard this put this way and it makes so much sense! Satan drives to darkness but GOD leads us to the light.. He is the light… there’s SO much more here
Thank you for this segment. I’ve been saved for more than 25 years and when I lost my spouse I thought Hod forsook me. Listening and believing all the prosperity and victory messages didn’t prepare me for loss. Hod has brought me to the other side and your session confirmed sooo much I believe God has shown me through my healing. Thank you again ❤
this is the best that I've herd from Tim Ross. He checked every point that I am currently going thorough. Praise be to God for people like you guys because this is a way God talks to us when we're having trouble.
Self aware and God aware
Sit up, get up, and eat... reminds me of 1 Kings 19:4-8... when Elijah asked for God to take his life and an Angel came and said "Arise and eat." It always rubbed me the wrong way when I was troubled because it felt like God didn't care that he was so troubled and depressed. But now, thanks to you both and the Glory of God, I can see a new perspective. And I've tied 2 Corinthians 12:9 to 1 Kings 19. He sees us, He knows we are hurting, AND (as Tim says) His grace is sufficient enough to carry us through. Thank you both very much 🤎
I love how geeked up they get when exposing the enemy lol Praise GOD
I needed to hear this because I was having the depression conversation with God because some things went left even Christians allowed me to walk through a real crisis with minimal support. I only had two people I really didn't know to help but the people I was doing life with left me
If he can get thru it then I can get thru ONLY WITH HIM. The God of righteousness Amen
The imagery in the first few minutes of the girl in the corner had me immediately burst into tears. I’ve been trying to claw my way out - I just wanted to say thank you for recording and listening to God… I didn’t know I would need this but all I know is I’m sitting up - getting up - and eating.
Woooo!!! When the twins are together, it is fire!!! Thank you so much. It was filled with so much treasure, so much encouragement, and profound insights. God bless you both. I praise God for blessing you both with such an incredible gift. You were speaking straight to me. I am fortified and encouraged by the strength of God’s love. Amen!
Tim talking about the Pharisees said “they wanted to stay legal” AFTER telling a story about how the Lord would not allow or merged him out of the legal system to speak to 10’s of thousands of vulnerabilities and Gods grace. Idk if you caught that too but I feel like that part of his testimony alone is a perfect example of everything he preached. The holy spirit is always at work on these pods. LOVE!!
YOUR SITUATION AINT GOTTA CHANGE........ YOU GOTTA CHANGE!!!! Lord Lord Lord 👏👏👏
‘They got a blueprint for how to handle the next dark cloud’ 💯💯💯💯💯
Yessss, Cuz they don’t stop comin no matter how u might wish them away. You will have to manage them. All leaders do
My brothers are savages ready for war!!! WHEWW Jesus help me! Sooo gooood!!!!
‘Don’t forget God’s faithfulness in all our pain and disappointment’
I feel like this message is for me and I’m just EXTREMELY thankful for this empowerment and the fact that I’m not in a dark corner or cloud. I’m aware of the chaos and the dark I’m in but God has given me the power of fight and strength that can only come from believing and trusting Him. I just keep surrendering. I refuse to be in bondage. I refuse to go back. & I refuse to disobey God and be outside of the will of God. I don’t care if I end up with nothing at the end of the day…. And I think God tests that often.
I stand. I know what all this is in spiritual warfare and I know the side I’m on. Christ walked thru hell. I can walk thru several dark clouds with the light of life in me
Amen - and he still has promises for you - even if it’s not in the same city 😮 thank you for this conversation
All at once an angel touched him and said, “Get up and eat.” 1 Kings 19:5 NIV - "GET UP, SIT UP, AND EAT"
You two are amazing. Every time I’ve listened to this, I’ve gotten a different nugget from it. 😇😇
OMG! I feel like I'm the woman... I have gone through ALMOST all of the things you have touched on in the past year. Thank you so much for your obedience inrecording and posting!
My prayer: Lord thank you for allowing me to see the disappointment differently 😭😩🙌🏼
Thank you for your obedience and for doing this Lord knows I needed to hear this.
The dark cloud is done!!!!!!!!
That was for me. GOD! LORD HAVE MERCY ON ME! THAT WAS FOR ME!!
I’m suffering from own consequences at the moment. I could never blame God because I know he didn’t want me where I am now. It’s my own doing. It’s hard and I’m regretting many things but all I can do is remind myself that life will get better and even though I’ve gone against what God wanted, he’s still here for me. I’m legit at a low point. The enemy knows that too so I can’t let him win!
I’m proud of you!❤
Yoh! I just got out of a fast crying to God asking Him why I keep having intrusive thoughts, felt like a dark cloud. I prophesied over myself saying it’s the last day I believe the lies of the devil and then here I am watching this episode. God is good man. 🥹😢
This just made me sit up straight. Imma watch it again whenever that ugly orphan boy peeks up trying something. Thank you!🙏🏾
I like to add to @TimRoss quote: "If you believe God did that to you, you stop believing what God says about you AND what He says about Himself."
Yo it hits different when both of y’all come together. I NEED MORE. Please 🙏 a whole series preferably with love 💗
Yesterday I was listening and I paused it. Which y’all literally called us out not to do!!! I was allowing distractions to keep me from my breakthrough wow!!! I drive back to work and sat in my car crying and listening. I even snoozed off 🙃😅. I woke up maybe 2-3 minutes and finished listening. I was lighter, I felt the fog lifted and I am in awe of Gods goodness through this pod!! Wow!!! Praise God😭😭😭😭
I yawned sooo much as well! It was like a holy reset 🥺🔥🔥🔥🔥
Oh, my my my!! Rich truth!!
I’m bout 40 or so minutes into this.. this is speaking to me..
the last 3 years of my life have SUCKED!!! And I blame God for it.. God is saying .. “that’s not ME”
Wow! My niece sent me this and my God! Amazing word! Amazing nuggets that I WILL live by! Thank you so much, men of God!
This was for me, it feels like my 3-inch deep cut just got cleaned with saline solution.
“Some cuts don’t heal, some have to be lived in”. That was the line for me.
Thank you for this, I am the little girl in the corner.
‘Don’t put Jesus glitter over it. I just need to take that L’ 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Self accountability, Sir!!! 🙌🏾👑🏁
Hi, from South Africa. This episode finished me in the 1st 10 minutes 😭😭been begging God for a new job and I can't understand why He is not giving me something so simple💔
Been in church for 29 years and never heard this perspective 😊
And I'm also enrolled in college as a criminal justice major morning to work with kids in the system and stuff but. I'm Broken B!! 😭😭😭 If it wasn't for the Holy Spirit yanking me out of bed every day, I know for a fact there's some days that I just wouldn't have made it without Him. I've been attacked from the spiritual side and seen things in the spirit since I was little. I'm so ridiculously grateful for the gift of discernment of spirits the Holy Spirit has plays on me. I've been blocking my face lock in solitary confinement so all it is is me and spirit (s}
WOOOOWWW! Being wooed and/or seduced by depression.
OPENED MY EYES!!!
TIM ROSS AND PRESTON I NEEDED THIS PODCAST! The girl in the corner was me!
I see sooo much now 🤯💯👀
Wow, wow, wow! Everything comes full circle. So much wisdom from the Lord and healing for those in the dark night of the soul and in 1.18 minutes. Thank you!
Thank you Preston & Tim for saying yes to the Holy Spirit. This blessed me. I balled my eyes out right at the start. I was that girl in the corner. But I am no more. Thank you, guys. I love you. ❤
Wow wowWOW!!!brothers lost for words at such Godly Revelations. I pray God that a lot of chains are breaking off in the lives on God,s people. Thank you
Really good conversation..even in my pain, God is still faithful..Amen ❤
Halleluyaaaah!! Thank you Jesus. Light of the World
I am grateful I was shown this video today
Wait a min… you’re telling me at 5 min in, I’m already 😨 ready for this!
Wow. It’s me. Wow. Thank you Abba. Love yall
Part 2, please!
Thank yall for this wow !
So good! I can’t even begin to express the gratitude for this word. As a young woman struggling with fear and abandonment, I wanna thank you both for such an encouraging talk. It felt like I was being called out but led in the right way to fix it. Thank you for being here for me and for all of us in the same boat. Until glory my brothers. Thank you so much!
Hey... im currently in a funk. I have been for months. I appreciate this podcast bc its really brought clarity in this cloud of confusion and darkness ive been fighting and i feel like losing.
Yall, pls pray for me. God is calling me to move back in with my family, specifically my parents. There's a move He's trying to make in my healing journey that is only possible if im under the same roof. Idk exactly what He's trying to do but i told Him time and time again i don't want it. This redeemed family that He's pulling together, i really dont want it. Ive been struggling with this promise for abt 3 years now. Ive been trying to run away since and its gotten me no where. I know this is supposed to be beautiful, i know this be more fruitful than what i can possibly imagine. But i have a hard time letting go of what they did, what ive had to endure on my own for so long just for God to choose now to give me my og family and not just place me in a new one. After aatching this i can confidently say that most of this was for me bc ive ran for so long from this promise. Even tho, i still dont want it. Ik i cant run away anymore if i truly want to see His goodness. Thank you, pls keep doing this 🙏🏾 ❤
The Andy Griffith is always a go-to when in any mood. Classic
Let me start off by saying , I really don't like yall!! 😩 Who told yall to tell all my business on this pod? This punched me right in the soul and I'm so thankful for it. Keep these conversations going. The Body needs them so much. God bless you both❤
‘Whatever you been lyin in, just sit up’
Cuz the Holy Spirit will do the rest after that act of faith. My God!
POWERRRRRR!!!!
I am the girl in the corner ---- speechless, all I can say is thank you x 1000.
I needed this so so much. Thank you. I'm getting UP. SITTING UP AND EATING. I GIVE YOU GLORY LORD JESUS
OH. MY. WORD. 🔥🔥🔥
Man, praise the lord. I would love to see you guys bring on Bobby chandler for the channel. That would be mind blowing 🤯.
Wow! Uncle Tim went innnn! Wow so many gems, so many…i don’t even know what words to put on it, but wow. I’m gonna listen to this again because wow!
Hi. Thank you, my brothers in Christ. God bless you.
I’ve been in NEED of hearing this for years!!! God use his people in such amazing ways, THANK YOU LORD!
Man…the beginning of this video had me in tears. I have been that young woman, amongst other young women, that has been cowering in a corner with fear and doubt hovering over my mind.
God has given me a vision to start a bakery and found a school. My expectation has been completely shattered in an unusual way. I always wanted to start a bakery but just ONE. God has told me I would own multiple bakery businesses, found a school, and supply jobs and finances for many people. As exciting as that sounds, I am very disappointed by it. That’s why I say my expectations have been shattered in an unusual way because you would think that would be exciting but for me that’s a lot. A lot of responsibility and discipline. This is not something that I want but God has destined me to do this.
As a result, I have cowered myself in a corner. Believing the lies of the enemy such as “you can’t do it” “this is too much for you” “you mess this up at some point” “you’ve never done anything great, why would you think you could possibly do this”. Not only that, I feel like God is telling me to leave my job and start this business from home, which made it worse lol.
This one right here….has made me realize I’ve been disappointed and not even knowing it that’s why it’s been hard for me to sit up. Get up. And eat. Thank you Tim and Preston! ♥️
as soon as you said young woman, tears came. they are flowing. i have been living a lie for well over 10 years. and even though my pure heart has never given up, i have lied and lied and lied because i am deathly afraid. this pod is a godsend, looking forward to finishing it.
I wish I heard this episode years ago! When I hit the darkest cloud of my life I definitely held a grudge against God simply because of an unmet expectation!!!
Been having a conversation with a friend and her last response before I watched this was “I’m under a cloud” !
This was for her, and the spirit corrected me in some of my theology in this podcast. You guys are incredible. Thank you for your obedience I was edified immensely by this pod!
Both of your guys’ words have helped me in tremendous ways. You are both DRIPPING with oil and God has anointed you both with your mannerisms and words! Thank you!!
Both of you are my brothers!! Im currently in one of funks today and I so needed this!
Its God's way on encouraging me! thank you!!
This blessed me BEYOND words. I don't even know what to say except thank you for this.
It’s WILD this was on a whim! This touched my soul because it answered so many questions I didn’t know how to formulate and ask. I’ve listened three times within 12 hours. So many gems to find, understand, and apply. It’s the sermon and didn’t know I needed to hear. Grateful for both of you 🙏🏽
