There's no peace except God's. Lord knows I've tried and the times I fall for worldly peace it's fleeting at best, a bandaid. His peace is often far from logical, but as you say Preston, we're a part of an upside down Kingdom. ''...and the peace of God which surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus'' (Philippians 4:7). It's easy to have peace when things are calm. We need it like the air we breathe but especially in those storms, how else can our faith strengthen, He be glorified, while being a witness to change people's hearts? I LOVE how He works!
thats me God is using my child (my plank) to rescue me right now!!!!!that is so true in my life right now!!!! thank you Holy Spirit for this message...
I just wanted to share how the Holy Spirit lead me to this video. I’m driving around for work, feeling a little alone, called a couple family members, but nobody could talk. When it dawned on me, I really just wish I had somebody to talk about God with. I love talking about God, I just want to sit at a table with somebody who loves God as much as I do so we can talk about that. Then I remembered this guy with a soothing voice who I have seen pop up on Instagram every once in a while, quick, Google, found this video. This is literally exactly what I need at this moment. Thank you for this ministry. God bless you.
Wow Preston, listening to all your videos I’m convinced God is using your heart to share His. God has been my Heavenly Father and Jesus as Lord for many years by His grace. However, in my deepest valley yet, God revealed Himself as Daddy very specifically. I believe He wants to reveal Himself as Daddy for all His children in a special way right NOW. Please don’t stop using that phrase for our Daddy is knocking….🙏🏽❤️
I first thought I'm not watching this because it's not you and Tim (normally watch yous both) . But how glad God told me to watch very good sermon ! Thank God he just showed me its not who the word is from matters it's the WORD that matters
It’s me. Divorced. Devastated. Not suicidal but have never wanted to never be born as much as this last year + 5. I’m sure the Holy Spirits message for the one who was divorced and whose child was the plank keeping them alive was not only for me. Although it felt like a direct message to me after my cry for help. I pray anyone who’s been through that nightmare was encouraged. I was working on my sedated dental patient. I had an airpod in listening to this message for the first time. I had been listening to you and Tim for awhile, but this was new. I hadn’t slept in 48hrs. Sleeping is the hardest part of the day. The anxiety of waking up to yet another day in this nightmare keeps me from peace no matter what I do other than going on my 2 hour walks with God and pouring my heart and guts out to Him and finally as I near the end in desperation I start to declare His promises over my son and I’s life. But a lot of days when I don’t have that time or just can’t bring myself to hope and believe anymore, I try to force myself back to sleep so I don’t feel the paralyzing fear and pain. My days turn into what I feel is purposeless isolation. Prior to the message on peace through the storm, my phone stopped and I was in silence. My eyes were burning from lack of sleep and the desperation I felt for God to help me was so strong but I didn’t know what to pray anymore. Ive prayed it ALL. OVER & OVER hanging onto faith when I consistently see NOTHING happen and things continue to get worse and worse. I’ve felt that feeling more days than not over the last several years but this year has been the worst. I was praying my patient didn’t see the tears falling from my eyes. The desperation for God to do ANYTHING to let me know He still cared or saw me or ANYTHING was so strong. I literally do NOT know how I keep going. I have no idea. My son is all I can say. Over and over it’s been him. Whatever will I have to stay alive is for him. As I was begging God for something, anything to help me, I had turned your message on and when I heard what the Holy Spirt told you to tell the one who was divorced I literally couldn’t believe my ears. I started crying even more. I’m struggling to see God in anything anymore. My prayer’s literally not only go unanswered but the opposite of anything I ask God to help me with happens. I do not understand anything. I’ve fought as much as I know in every way to survive. My “ship” has most definitely been destroyed. I was with a narcissistic psychopath for the last 5 years who terrorized me in every way until I couldn’t stand it anymore and I finally got to the point where I didn’t care what he did to me anymore I had to get out because living that way was worse than anything. But it got worse when he realized I wasn’t canceling the divorce this time. He convinced himself I would not cancel the divorce because I was cheating so he started following me everywhere and attacking me even worse. I became a prisoner to my bedroom with the door locked. Not that that stopped him. I wasn’t working because he destroyed that for me. I was caring for my sister’s youngest child because she was deathly ill in the hospital from 20 years of addiction. I had no money. He stopped all financial support. Stopped paying all bills and literally watched us lose the house, our belongings, our animals, pack what we could and escape to a domestic violence homeless shelter w 2 kids. I heard him talking to people on the phone about literally planning doing this to me while he made plans to get himself a “big house w a Bentley and drive by me to yell look at me now.” My worst nightmare came true. All the reasons I couldn’t leave were happening. Homelessness, broke, no way to support my son, no job, no help, no one to turn to. All the things I believed God would protect me from were happening and I couldn’t do a thing about it. Every prayer I prayed seemed unanswered. Every verse I had declared and stood on that God would be my husband, father, defender, protector, provider, seemed worthless. My own mother wouldn’t take us in. I had been going to Gateway church and became members with him. He said he was a part of the start of the church back in the day. I called the church for help. They refused to help me pay one bill. The woman who made me spend a week getting all documentation together for financial help only to tell me my needs were not within their guidelines to literally help me in anyway only asked me “why did you stay?” A pastor called me to confirm this. I was devastated. My bank account was negative by a ton, I was having food donated to me, I couldn’t even buy the kids Christmas presents and my own church who brags about how much they receive financially from it’s members, including my tithes, would not do a thing and then shamed me for being stuck in an abusive marriage. The # of things like this that have happened to me this year that are similar to that have been more than I can count. Yet I’ve prayed and spent more time with God and stood on my faith and declared Gods promises when I literally could not see anything happening over and over and over. I do know things could get worse. Like Job I could’ve lost my son and been struck with boils but beyond that the only one I can identify with in the Bible is Job and his wife. The losses won’t stop. I’m losing hope and faith. I’m hanging by a thread so thin. The depression is heavy. It’s getting harder and harder. My car was repossessed. I couldn’t work for awhile. I had to let my son’s dad who is awful take my son because at one point I had to sleep in my car when I had one. But he had nice new cars and nice new things all the time. I was financially abused so badly. You know him Preston. You used to play basketball with him, at least that’s fear he told me. The lies are so endless I don’t know that anything he said was real. He was with you when Gateway was starting. He said he was a deacon. Hard to imagine but actually no.. no it’s not. He’s an excellent actor. I wonder if he’s the one who sold you the car you strutted into church after getting out of. Brett Fickey. He was married to Heidi Grubbs. Btw thank you for your honesty and vulnerability. I was with him for 5 long years. Divorced this past January. I’ve never in my life known anyone more evil and abusive. I had no idea. He changed his name to hide his criminal past so I didn’t know. He waited until I was in so deep.. I was so in love and he was talking marriage. Bought a ring. Told my mom. He waited to tell me who he really was when he knew I wasn’t leaving easily. Then he changed. There were signs… signs I wasn’t aware enough to understand. I thought if we were both Christians like he said God could help us work through anything and I didn’t want to hold his past mistakes against him. I didn’t know everything was a lie. Absolutely everything. He’s about to go to prison. He has been a criminal for at least 20 years, stealing from EVERYONE. Anyway. I’m sorry this is so long. I only shared because you asked whoever it was to DM you first prayer. I’m having such a hard time praying, believing, hoping. I feel myself sinking more and more into depression and despair. I’ve lost everything and I literally don’t know what to do anymore.
I absolutely love this pastor! We had been committed to a local church for almost 25 years when God began to move on us and we knew it would be a change of season for us. It was hard to do, to step out and begin to allow God to guide us. We took our time and visited different churches but we just couldnt get away from Pillar Church. The warmth that we felt was not what we were used to but it was what drew us back. What an awesome word you shared on peace and we cant wait to be with you next Sunday!
It's the peace of God that brought me to an understanding that I will ALWAYS need His presence. I have come to experience this peace so sweetly these past few weeks where I faced my scariest "attacks"" of fear. The faster I got to His presence, the quicker my heightened emotional state dissipated. Sure, my situations are "causes" for the attacks remained, but I began to understand WHO holds the world and WHO also holds my hand: the God of the universe. So, no, I will not bow down to my fears, but I will bring them to the feet my Father and make them bow down to HIM. For He has the final say.
"i will bless the Lord who guides me; even at night my heart instructs me. i know the Lord is always with me, i will not be shaken, for He is right beside me." Psalms 16:7-8 32:09
Wow, this was an “accidental appointment” by God. Thank you for the time at the table with Holy Spirit. Your obedience has caused a pause in my day that has already led to some spiritual surgery. Thank you
Hey Preston, when you shared about an unexpected divorce. That’s me. I separated from my husband in March and feel like we are walking towards divorce. We also lost our daughter in January so it was sooo not what I thought would happen especially after that. When you shared about her being a plank it brought me to tears because her life was a raft for me to get so close to God. I’ve spent many nights wondering why? And how long God but this message was for me. Lord bless you!
I pray that God blesses you with healing and peace that surpasses all understanding. I have always feared having children because I was afraid that God would test my faith by taking the child away and I wouldn't be able to cope or keep my faith but after reading about your journey I feel inspired. Thank you so much for sharing sister 🤍
I am also one that you were talking to about divorce. I separated after 17 yrs of marriage and this was a marriage after I was widowed and had two children with. Those two kids, now adults, were the planks to help me get to safety to heal. My marital boat broke apart, my house is in escrow, I am healing in another state and when divorce is final, I make my way to live with my daughter and my son is coming to help me empty my storage unit to rebuild my life. I am 64 yrs old. I left in February, by June, I took my eyes off of what I lost and set my gaze on my planks and a beautiful life ahead of me. Thank you! I am listening to your pod and The Basement. I am literally going to live in my daughter's beautiful basement. God is funny even through heartache.
The Lord is intricately in the details. I pray that Holy Spirit guide you all through your pain in an equally healthy way. I grieve in worship. Bill Johnson taught me that as he stood beside his dying wife… it is there, in His presence… the safest place to pour it all out 🙏 May the Lord continue to protect you and give you peace through the storms. I know He has done the same for me ✝️
Hi Preston! Greetings from San Francisco :) I wholeheartedly and deeply thank our Heavenly Father, The God of the universe for trusting you with us. I get excited each week to sit with you and The Holy Spirit. The Leader's Cut has been such a blessing to me because it truly feels like having a conversation with my dad and my big brother. With each day that passes by (which is a God given gift all on it's own, thank you Lord!) feels like I'm standing 2 inches tall, encapsulated inside of a kaleidoscope saturated with topsy-turvy emotions, followed by the sound of morphing voices that influence my decision making and tests my faith in God and myself. This channel encourages me to realign my thoughts towards Jesus. Thank you for stewarding God's call over your life, family ,friends and the body of Christ Jesus. Thank you for everything! May the God of the universe continue to speak through you! In Jesus' name, amen and amen. 🙌
So needed this, I feel like I have been constantly looking at my problem, and subconsciously that problem keeps coming up. But all I yearn for is to have HIM at the forefront and to be in His presence is all that I need. Thank you for this, touched a hard place for me.
I'm not gonna lie this one is really really good loved it thank you so much Preston I think when we face trials we forget that our rest is in Christ not the world not other things not other people not the pastor but in Christ when we face trial rest in Christ what is the scripture saying cast all my burdens on HIM I'm paraphrasing but Yeah very deep also my auntie is going through a Divorce I'm sharing this with her man cause this is so deep so powerful love this Preston Praise GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT HAS MOVED AND CUT ON US
This was such a deep cut on me I find it so much easier to believe a word I get for someone else, but when God speaks into my situation that I've been praying into for years and have not seen any movement yet (holding onto His promises) I always doubt and when I ask for confirmation - I usually ask for specific confirmation and it never happens exactly like I ask but He often will confirm me Looking back its more subtle confirmations than I expected - which is why I've probably missed so many🙈 I appreciate you openness and obedience You are truly an inspiration 👍🏽
Wow God reveals the hurts from 20 years ago and my divorce, thank you for the vision of my children being the planks for me. They are adults now and thriving but still my planks at times. I pray for a Godly husband and sometimes stop praying because it’s been so long, I do have peace in it all because my Lord loves me. I appreciate you Preston thank you for being His servant
Thanks for this Pastor Preston. Like others, I was blessed by this.🥰 I'd like to share a couple of things. 1. This week has been stormy. I'm a leader at my church and it's related to that and the people who serve with me. This week has been filled with uncertainty. Asking for solutions. Waiting for the Holy Spirit to speak. But the only answers I get are "Trust me. I got this." Making we wanting to laugh and cry😢 ... at the same time. And then another person added their thoughts to a side issue... somewhat related. And I just felt attacked. The person was trying to care for me, but it just felt like one.more.thing.🤷 Again, I heard the same thing, "Wait on Me. I will take care of it." And in that case I could. Sometimes the hard part in being a leader is that nobody has answers to the trouble but Abba... there's nothing to do but wait. In the past, I would have fought that. But this time, I gave up control and let Him. And he gave me a solution that fits.🎉 2. As you talked about Paul I felt the Holy Spirit tell me, "You're like Paul.""I've given you faith." And as I waited for more explanation He said that it doesn't matter that my gifting is different than Paul's. This is about faith and the warfare that I regularly experience. I felt Him say that was not going to change. Don't expect it to. And so, like Paul I love Jesus and I have faith when others don't. I love reading the bible. Moving forward from this I once again feel gobsmacked by how I see myself vs. how Abba sees me. #blessed
INCREDIBLE! 💗 I have a son who suffered from a brain injury, and fear constantly creeps in. This video has brought me closer to Him and His peace. Thank you.
@@prestonmorrison4094 Yesss! Looking forward to it. I'm finally seeing my wilderness as the blessing it is, but mannnn, it is painful. Any water in this desert is welcome hahaha In that vein, the video of the Seasons has been one of my biggest blessings this season. Knowing where I stand has been invaluable for my perspective and for keeping the right heart's posture. Thank you for being a good example of reflecting Jesus ,as imperfect as we may be. You bring glory to His name ^_^
This content is life changing! Its so good and engrossing i find myself answering out loud when you ask questions 😂 I have a question that im sure everyone in the fam would benefit from - what books are you reading right now? What books would you recommend we read that have helped you become the person you are waking in the boldness of God ( other than the capital B book) lol
Hi Preston How are you doing? This message cuts really deep as i am currently going through a divorce right now and haven't slept home in the last 3 nights i am not on instagram right now so i cant really dm you but i would love to get in contact with you. Thank you for letting the Lord use you.
The house fire 🔥 that took the house we were moving to a week before we moved. At the same time our house sale was delayed by 1 week. That allowed for insurance to pay for temporary housing when we arrived from South Carolina. We didn’t know we were going to need time for hubby to find a job. This story is so much bigger than we will ever know. And yet through it all remained a confidence that everything was falling into place. ❤
There's no peace except God's. Lord knows I've tried and the times I fall for worldly peace it's fleeting at best, a bandaid. His peace is often far from logical, but as you say Preston, we're a part of an upside down Kingdom. ''...and the peace of God which surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus'' (Philippians 4:7). It's easy to have peace when things are calm. We need it like the air we breathe but especially in those storms, how else can our faith strengthen, He be glorified, while being a witness to change people's hearts? I LOVE how He works!
thats me God is using my child (my plank) to rescue me right now!!!!!that is so true in my life right now!!!! thank you Holy Spirit for this message...

Thank you for this pastor Preston! I have no words

I wonder if he’s the one who sold you the car you strutted into church after getting out of. Brett Fickey. He was married to Heidi Grubbs.
Btw thank you for your honesty and vulnerability.
I was with him for 5 long years. Divorced this past January. I’ve never in my life known anyone more evil and abusive. I had no idea. He changed his name to hide his criminal past so I didn’t know. He waited until I was in so deep.. I was so in love and he was talking marriage. Bought a ring. Told my mom. He waited to tell me who he really was when he knew I wasn’t leaving easily.

He’s about to go to prison. He has been a criminal for at least 20 years, stealing from EVERYONE.
Anyway. I’m sorry this is so long. I only shared because you asked whoever it was to DM you first prayer. I’m having such a hard time praying, believing, hoping. I feel myself sinking more and more into depression and despair. I’ve lost everything and I literally don’t know what to do anymore.
This was too long for a DM. It restricted me.
I absolutely love this pastor! We had been committed to a local church for almost 25 years when God began to move on us and we knew it would be a change of season for us.

Wow, this was an “accidental appointment” by God. Thank you for the time at the table with Holy Spirit. Your obedience has caused a pause in my day that has already led to some spiritual surgery. Thank you
I was using pride to protect myself. I’ll need this on repeat. Thank you Holy Spirit and Preston

Amen Amen and Amen 🙌🙏🙌🙏🙌🙏🙌🙏🙌❤❤❤❤❤
I know this in my mind and I struggle to keep it in my heart and allow God to be the driver of the ship when the storms is all around.
Thank you for taking time to share. I needed this during my storm. Amen
I'm not gonna lie this one is really really good loved it thank you so much Preston I think when we face trials we forget that our rest is in Christ not the world not other things not other people not the pastor but in Christ when we face trial rest in Christ what is the scripture saying cast all my burdens on HIM I'm paraphrasing but Yeah very deep also my auntie is going through a Divorce I'm sharing this with her man cause this is so deep so powerful love this Preston Praise GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT HAS MOVED AND CUT ON US
Such a deep cut, thank you for your obedience every time.
This was such a deep cut on me
I find it so much easier to believe a word I get for someone else, but when God speaks into my situation that I've been praying into for years and have not seen any movement yet (holding onto His promises) I always doubt and when I ask for confirmation - I usually ask for specific confirmation and it never happens exactly like I ask but He often will confirm me
Looking back its more subtle confirmations than I expected - which is why I've probably missed so many🙈
I appreciate you openness and obedience
You are truly an inspiration 👍🏽
Wow God reveals the hurts from 20 years ago and my divorce, thank you for the vision of my children being the planks for me. They are adults now and thriving but still my planks at times. I pray for a Godly husband and sometimes stop praying because it’s been so long, I do have peace in it all because my Lord loves me. I appreciate you Preston thank you for being His servant
Thanks so much for this!!! Needed to hear this today. Thanks always for your obedience and encouragement.
Thanks for this Pastor Preston. Like others, I was blessed by this.🥰 I'd like to share a couple of things.
1. This week has been stormy. I'm a leader at my church and it's related to that and the people who serve with me. This week has been filled with uncertainty.
Asking for solutions.
Waiting for the Holy Spirit to speak.
But the only answers I get are "Trust me. I got this." Making we wanting to laugh and cry😢 ... at the same time.
And then another person added their thoughts to a side issue... somewhat related. And I just felt attacked. The person was trying to care for me, but it just felt like one.more.thing.🤷
Again, I heard the same thing, "Wait on Me. I will take care of it."
And in that case I could. Sometimes the hard part in being a leader is that nobody has answers to the trouble but Abba... there's nothing to do but wait. In the past, I would have fought that. But this time, I gave up control and let Him. And he gave me a solution that fits.🎉
2. As you talked about Paul I felt the Holy Spirit tell me, "You're like Paul.""I've given you faith." And as I waited for more explanation He said that it doesn't matter that my gifting is different than Paul's. This is about faith and the warfare that I regularly experience. I felt Him say that was not going to change. Don't expect it to.
And so, like Paul I love Jesus and I have faith when others don't. I love reading the bible. Moving forward from this I once again feel gobsmacked by how I see myself vs. how Abba sees me. #blessed
INCREDIBLE! 💗
I have a son who suffered from a brain injury, and fear constantly creeps in. This video has brought me closer to Him and His peace. Thank you.
I had a similar injury and I recovered. Please tell him to reach out to me.
@@bellaburda8597 hey love, my son is actually a year old, but I do love hearing recovery stories! Very comforting. Praise God for your healing! 💗🙌🏻
Father God!! Thank you for this word. This was much needed.
I SURRENDER ALLLLLL
This one is going in the store house. #rewatch
Woooo! Really needed some meat & potatoes tonight in this wilderness.
The episode Timmy and I just filmed this past Saturday was all about the wilderness. :)) Don’t know when it will air but look for it. It was 😳.
@@prestonmorrison4094
Yesss! Looking forward to it. I'm finally seeing my wilderness as the blessing it is, but mannnn, it is painful. Any water in this desert is welcome hahaha
In that vein, the video of the Seasons has been one of my biggest blessings this season. Knowing where I stand has been invaluable for my perspective and for keeping the right heart's posture.
Thank you for being a good example of reflecting Jesus ,as imperfect as we may be. You bring glory to His name ^_^
This content is life changing! Its so good and engrossing i find myself answering out loud when you ask questions 😂
I have a question that im sure everyone in the fam would benefit from -
what books are you reading right now? What books would you recommend we read that have helped you become the person you are waking in the boldness of God ( other than the capital B book) lol
Bro! This is so good
Pastor Preston, do you also find yourself praying in tongues when you are in need of peace?
48:00 🤯
Hi Preston How are you doing? This message cuts really deep as i am currently going through a divorce right now and haven't slept home in the last 3 nights i am not on instagram right now so i cant really dm you but i would love to get in contact with you. Thank you for letting the Lord use you.
Test into testimony… pain into purpose… mess into message
YOU ARE TALKING TO ME.
The house fire 🔥 that took the house we were moving to a week before we moved. At the same time our house sale was delayed by 1 week. That allowed for insurance to pay for temporary housing when we arrived from South Carolina. We didn’t know we were going to need time for hubby to find a job. This story is so much bigger than we will ever know. And yet through it all remained a confidence that everything was falling into place. ❤
I’m the divorce I didn’t see coming 👋
