Chris Reed continues to provide further details following his resignation from MorningStar Ministries.
“I don’t even like showing communications, especially not salacious or incriminating or conversations you’re having where you’re being light-hearted just with friends, but because no one from MorningStar’s willing to speak up and to defend my tenure there, I have to show you communications that are relevant to the situation. Not just communications to trash people or to embarrass them, but communications to show you what you’re being presented with now,” Reed states.
Not disclosing the name of the person, Reed showed text communication he had with someone he claims is one of the top executives at MorningStar. This discussion took place back in January of this year.

“Chris, I do believe you are here in this place by divine direction,” the text began. “And while I know you have options you are considering, I would like to encourage you the decisions you have made and the leadership you have and are providing for MorningStar at this time is critical for this place. You have made more progress in this ministry in less than a year that is bringing this place to new horizons. The problems Ric[k] has created over the last 15 years you have cleaned up in less than a year!”
The message continued: “Remember part of Jeremiah’s commission was not only to build and plant but to root out and to pull down. That is what you are doing right now is rooting up and pulling down.”
Reed says the changes he helped to implement include the work on the church’s tower, and the culture and community of the ministry. He continues to claim that the ministry is trying to shift away the focus from the legal battles they are dealing with by shifting their focus to him. He also says he has figured out who took the domain for Chrisreedministries.com, however, he did not disclose the identity of the person. Reed’s actual website is Chrisreedministries.net.
“I do know who stole the other domain. I just wanted you to see that there is two-faced stuff being said,” Reed says.
“Thank you to everyone who has been kind. I’m going to be announcing something pretty significant here in the next bit of time,” he continues.
In a recent message to MorningStar, Rick Joyner also updated the church on his current vision for MorningStar to continue moving forward. He briefly spoke about Reed’s departure.
“I’m real sorry that I created some of the mess that we went through the last few weeks. And in another way, I’m not. In another way, I am truly not because the Lord causes all things to work for good, and He showed me the good that’s going to come from all that,” Joyner says.
Joyner also says he is “going to hear from the Lord before I put somebody else in any position, much less mine.”
Continue to lift up Chris Reed, Rick Joyner and MorningStar in prayer.
