He has been known for many years as a teacher of praise and worship and has shared this message around the world. Churches have exploded with the glory of God as praise is lifted high. God always ‘shows up’ in the meetings and confirms His Word with mighty signs and wonders.

Dr. Morris has an apostolic anointing and is on the ‘cutting edge’ of what God is doing in the world! From the early 70’s he has been preaching on getting back to the basics of the early church. God spoke to him, “If you want what they had, you must do what they did.” It was at that time that he received revelation on the 5-fold ministry, and has taught these messages around the world. Along with the 5-fold ministry teaching, his messages emphasize Jubilee, Repentance, Water Baptism, The Holy Spirit, Communion, The Fear of God, Praise and Worship, The Apostles Doctrine, Sign and Wonders, Proper Church Order, Prosperity and the End-Time Revival. Mighty revival breaks out as Dr. Morris shares these messages.

On March 1, 2019 it became necessary for Dr. Morris to pass the mantle of this great work to the next generation. He remains in prayer and continues to love the work of the Lord as he embraces the next season of his life with his family around him and the unwavering love of his beautiful wife Deborah. There is a permanent place at Covenant Bible College and Seminary for him and the influence of his work. We are all deep in his debt…
