Prophet Eric Morgan | Hope Redemption Worship Center | Sunday, Dec 28, 2025
Scripture Focus: Hebrews 12:1
On Sunday, December 28, 2025, Hope Redemption Worship Center received a timely and heart-stirring word from Prophet Eric Morgan. Though he shared that he was weak in his body, he testified that God would give him strength—and the service became a powerful reminder that God can speak through us even when we feel depleted.
From the very beginning, the atmosphere was filled with worship and reverence. Prophet Morgan greeted Bishop, First Lady, the saints, and his wife, and then called the church to stand as the Word of God was prepared to go forth. His central scripture came from Hebrews 12:1, a declaration that became the foundation for the entire message:
“Let us lay aside every weight and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us.”
This Word Was for All of Us
Prophet Morgan made it clear: this wasn’t a message for “somebody else.” He said this scripture was for all of us. He led the congregation in reading it together—hands lifted—calling it a moment of repentance and a fresh declaration.
The theme was simple but strong: we cannot run well while carrying what God told us to lay down.
When Your Hands Are Full, God Doesn’t Have Your Attention
In a prophetic moment during the service, he spoke directly to the reality many believers face: we love and hold onto things—habits, burdens, distractions, offenses, fear—that God never intended for us to carry.
He emphasized that when our hands are full, we struggle to give God the attention He desires. The blessing God has for us is real, but it requires us to make room for it. His repeated call was direct:
“Are you ready to make that step?”
“Lay it down.”
“Let it go.”
The Christian Life Is a Long-Distance Race
One of the most practical parts of the message came when Prophet Morgan explained that the Christian journey is not a quick sprint—it’s an endurance race. He taught that many people become discouraged because they compare their pace to others.
He reminded the church:
- A sprint and a marathon are not the same.
- Some people move fast early, but they burn out.
- You cannot compare your race to someone else’s race.
He said plainly: God called us to run with patience.
Extra Weight Makes the Race Harder
Prophet Morgan explained why the race feels so difficult for many believers: we are trying to run while carrying luggage. He likened spiritual weight to physical weight—what you carry affects your endurance, your strength, and your ability to finish.
He challenged the church to identify what the weight is:
- Sin that must be repented of
- Malice and grudges
- Heavy burdens and distractions
- “Bad mind” and negativity
- Anything that tangles your feet and affects your heart
His message hit a central point:
Your weight might not be my weight, and my weight may not be yours—but we all must lay ours down.
Stop Comparing—Be Responsible for Your Race
Another key instruction was about focus. Prophet Morgan warned believers to be careful not to compare themselves to others, because each person has a different race and a different measure of faith assigned by God.
He encouraged the church to:
- Understand what God’s will is for your race
- Be content with the race God has given you
- Focus on how to win, not how others are running
Don’t Cross Over With Baggage
As the service moved toward the close of the year, Prophet Morgan delivered a “crossover” word that resonated deeply:
“I’m not going to cross over with no weight, no baggage.”
He compared it to traveling—if you go over the limit, there’s a cost. Spiritually, carrying baggage into a new season can delay progress and keep you bound to old cycles.
His instruction for the new year was clear: check what you’re carrying, repent where needed, and release what is weighing you down.
God Will Refill You
The service ended in prayer, altar ministry, and worship. Prophet Morgan declared that God hears the cries of His people and that He would refill those who feel empty or worn. He reminded the church not to let condemnation or shame hold them hostage.
Even if the enemy tries to bring up the past, the believer must stand in faith and move forward.
The closing worship—“Open the floodgates of heaven, let it rain… Fill me up till I overflow”—was more than a song. It became a spiritual response to the Word: Lord, empty me of the weight and fill me with You.
Takeaway for the Week
Before stepping into a new season, ask yourself:
What weight am I carrying that God told me to lay aside?
What is affecting my focus, my endurance, and my peace?
What do I need to release so I can run free?
Because the truth is: You can’t run your race well when you’re carrying what God never assigned to you.
