I Will Not Leave You Orphans - Ps. Morgan Ervin

In this powerful sermon, I Will Not Leave You Orphans, Ps. Morgan explores the orphan spirit—a deep-seated sense of rejection, abandonment, and performance-based identity that stems from wounds, particularly from father figures. He explains that many people, despite knowing the right thing to do, remain stuck in destructive cycles because their core beliefs have been shaped by pain. This orphan spirit convinces individuals they must earn love, that they are unworthy of acceptance, and that they are ultimately alone. Through the lens of John 14:15-18, where Jesus promises not to leave His followers as orphans, Ps. Morgan emphasizes that healing begins when we replace these false beliefs with the truth of our identity as God’s children.
He traces the orphan spirit’s generational impact, showing how it manifests in biblical figures like Joseph, David, and Jacob, as well as in our own lives through insecurity, self-sabotage, and relational dysfunction. Ps. Morgan shares his personal journey of overcoming father wounds, explaining that true freedom doesn’t come from trying harder or performing better but from fully surrendering to Christ. By recognizing the wound, restoring relationships, receiving God’s love, and breaking generational cycles, we can move from an orphan mindset to sonship, embracing the wholeness and belonging that only God provides.
