<3 I have no words but tears while i listened your story Mr Morris. Thank you for pouring out your heart in the most real way. Sending my love to you
I fell on my knees while listening to this sermon. This was a rhema word from God for the next step in my journey of healing from trauma. Thank you for opening your heart and let God speak through you
Listening from the Netherlands
My favorite part of the speech is the end when it’s over and you stop lying to people.
When you are hurt by someone it cuts deep. Try to remember that everyone has a basket and it gets good and bad stuff in your basket. Try to remember that the person that hurt you also has a basket with good and bad stuff in it. It can help you pray for them instead of hating them. 29:44
Thank you so so much for this message. I’m 27 years old. I was molested for 4 years as a child. It haunted me for a long time. A month ago, I met someone who prayed for me to be healed and delivered. I was saved and knew Jesus, but didn’t know freedom. He wants us to be free, not just saved. Jesus is big enough to heal our whole heart. Praise God ❤
Molestation is soooo prevalent as a Senior many now and long ago have been abused. To raise your hand admitting awful past is like jumping off a cliff!

@@eaglea657 the enemy would have us to believe it is “like jumping off a cliff” but the truth is that it is a step of faith that is fully covered and secured by Jesus and his overwhelming love for you. This testimony took me to the place where I was holding my life with weary and quivering hands. Feeling like if I relinquished control only chaos would ensue. I saw in every part of my being my fear of trusting. God is not a human that He would falter but my soul held its guard. Holy Spirit whispered to me, “recall His goodness. Recall His extravagant love.” I stand here looking at the cliff waiting for my soul to let go. You are not alone. Challenge His goodness, watch for His love to overtake you. Maybe we will step off that cliff at the same time. ❤️🩹
@violingirl5570 I too was abused as a young child and it affected me more than I cared to ever admit. I thought I delt with it pretty good as an adult until it was relevant that I hadn’t. Seeking Lord Jesus with all my heart and getting born again is the only thing that helped me to put that evil in the past where it happened. After some time I was able to really forgive my attackers. But that was only because of the love in Jesus that I could. God bless you in this journey young one and remember Jesus will never forsake you or leave you when you’re a child of God. God bless you always 😊
@@maryfolks9368 God bless you too! ❤️
It’s 8/2/23 and I’m just now seeing this video and I’ve always been intrigued by Pastor Morris for his own personal testimonials he’s shared throughout the years! Thank you Pastor for being transparent in truth 🔥🩸🥰
I know I agree, it’s very powerful. Its amazing how breakthrough can trickle down. I shared this video with someone who wanted deliverance, she was definitely ministered to as I thought she would because I felt being ministered to when I watched it. She also said she shared it with another friend and this friend also was ministered. We all related to Pastor Morris one way or another, true most of us had some kind of trauma and not all of the healing comes form first time we meet Jesus. This will help so many to seek that deeper relationship and deeper healing they need as Christians 👍🙏
One of the main reasons I have followed Gateway for years is because of the transparency of Pastor Robert Morris. It is so needed and authentic. Thank you for being obedient to the Holy Spirit and sharing something so personal. You didn’t dishonor your mom yet exposed the truth of what happened.
Hello Pastor Robert, I needed this so bad. I was abused from age 5-15 then when I got grown I have been married 4 times, I have come out when I was 49. It’s still hard, I don’t trust anyone, been single since 2013. I’m a Christian and I love Jesus with my whole heart, but I still battle my past. I know my marriages didn’t last because of my past. I’m fixing to start meeting someone to get it’s all out and move forward. God bless you 🙏🙏

I have been a Christian for 38 years and a pastors wife for 37 years. I have struggled off and on with being close to God and trusting Him. I have been “dry” and unable to feel like God can put up with me any longer. Pastor Robert, your transparency gave me SUCH hope that God isn’t disappointed in me. That was just another lie from the destroyer. Thank you SO very much!!!! I am forever grateful for you and your ministry!!!
Ma’am, have you ever listened to Pastor David Wilkerson sermons? He’s all I’ve been listening to for yrs now. He’s also helped me get closer to God when I felt distant and dry in the past. We all go through that . Don’t be so hard on yourself , God will never get tired of you , he never changes, he didn’t give us his only son to give up on us, he will never leave us, he fights for us everyday because he said that his kingdom is not of talk but of power , no one can snatch us out of his powerful hand and strong arm, he is heavens armies and is Jehovah Sabaoth, he is our warrior, don’t listen to Satan, he’s lying to you, get up every morning and tell the holy spirit to breath into your dry bones and to activate your faith in Jesus name, you are the daughter of the king and he loves you. He didn’t bring you this far to dump you, so get up, pick up your sword and speak out God’s word over your life, you know who you are in Christ Jesus. This is the end of times, we all need each other, it’s not the time to quit, it’s time to fight the good fight, Jesus is coming back for his bride do not get left behind sister!!! Satan has been defeated in Christ Jesus!! Just start with a good crying out to the Father for repentance and get back up, he tells us that a righteous man falls but gets back up sister!! So get up !! No one can do it but you, get up and walk, holy ghost took the oath to lead, guide, direct, teach and speak to you!!!!
⏳️THE GOSPEL OF THE WORD OF ALMIGHTY GOD “the last age in which God saves man from the destruction of this old world”
(On earth, that is, the final purpose of My work and what level I must achieve in this work before it becomes complete. I have been doing My work on earth for thousands of years, and until this day I am still doing My work for it. So now, at a time when many people have long failed in their hopes I still continue in My work, continue in My work I should do judge and punish people. The function of My judgment will give man the ability to obey Me better, and the function of My punishment will allow man to change more effectively. That’s because I wanted to make all the nations outside of Israel as obedient as the users, and make them real people so I hold land outside of Israel. This is My rule, this is the work I fulfill among the Gentile nations. The work that I have managed for thousands of years is completely lived in only one man at the last day. I just opened the entire mystery of My rule on people. I have revealed to man all My mysteries hidden for over 5,900 years. Who is Jehovah? Who is the Messiah? Who is Jesus? My work revolves in these names. How should My name be done in any of the countries that call Me by any of My names? Because My work is done on you, I will destroy the 6,000 years of God’s reign plan is close to the end, and the doors of the kingdom have been opened for all those who seek His exhibition. Dear brothers and sisters, what are you waiting for? Are you waiting for God to appear?)
Almighty God said
ALL PEOPLE are CONNECTED to a PURPOSE of My WORK. On EARTH, that is, the FINAL purpose of My WORK and WHAT level I must achieve in this WORK before it becomes COMPLETE. When I have BEEN with Me UNTIL this DAY, people STILL DON’T CONCERN what My WORK is about, if you DON’T HAVE any SIGNIFICANCE for them to be with Me? People who FOLLOW Me can KNOW My WILL. ☀️
I HAVE been doing My WORK on EARTH for THOUSANDS of YEARS, and UNTIL this DAY I am STILL doing My WORK for it. Although there are many extraordinary things that belong to My WORK, the purpose of this WORK is not accepted to CHANGE, just as for example EVEN THOUGH I am FULL of JUDGMENT and CHASTISEMENT of PEOPLE, what I do is for the SAKE of the BETTER that IMPLEMENTS My CHANGE and further EXPANSION of My WORK to ALL GENTILE NATIONS, when a PERSON is MADE PERFECT. ☀️
So NOW, at a TIME when many PEOPLE have long FAILED in their HOPES I STILL CONTINUE in My WORK, CONTINUE in My WORK that I SHOULD do JUDGE and PUNISH people.
Despite the fact that man has not been told what I say and despite the fact that he has no desire to devote myself to My work, I still carry out My duty, communicating the purpose of My unfinished work. that will change and My original plan will not be broken.
The FUNCTION of My JUDGMENT will GIVE man the ABILITY to OBEY Me BETTER, and the FUNCTION of My PUNISHMENT will ALLOW man to CHANGE more EFFECTIVELY. Even though I did for the SAKE of My GOVERNMENT, I did NOT get a LITTLE thing that was UNBENEFITABLE to man. That’s because I WANTED to make all the NATIONS OUTSIDE of ISRAEL as OBEDIENT as the USERS, and MAKE them REAL people so I HOLD LAND OUTSIDE of ISRAEL. This is My RULE, this is the WORK I FULFILL among the GENTILE NATIONS. ☀️
Even TODAY, many people are STILL NOT RELATED to My GOVERNMENT, because they have NO INTEREST in these things, but ONLY CARE ABOUT their OWN FUTURES and DESTINIES. No MATTER what I say, people STILL DON’T CARE about the WORK I do, INSTEAD ONLY, FOCUSED on their FUTURE GOALS. ☀️
If MANY things CONTINUE this WAY, how will My WORK EXPAND? How CAN My REPORT be BROADCAST WORLDWIDE? You should KNOW, that when My WORK EXPANDS, I will SCATTER you, and I will ELIMINATE you, as JEHOVAH ELIMINATED a TRIBE of ISRAEL. ☀️
All of this will be used by Me to be used throughout the world, and to spread My work among the Gentile nations, when My NAME may be EXALTED by the OLD and CHILDREN alike, and My HOLY NAME is EXPLAINED by the MOUTHS of PEOPLE from ALL TRIBES and NATIONS. In this FINAL AGE, My NAME WILL be TAKEN to the GENTILE NATIONS, because the GENTILES will SEE My WORKS, that I use My PROMISE ALL POWERFULLY because of My WORKS, and My WORD can do it NEARLY FULFILLED I will make ALL people KNOW that I am NOT ONLY the GOD of the USERS, but ALSO the GOD of ALL the NATIONS of the GENTILES, even MINE WHO are CURSED: I will LET ALL people SEE that I am the GOD of FULL CREATION. This is My greatest work, the purpose of My work plan for the last days, and the only work that must be fulfilled in the last day.
.. The WORK that I HAVE MANAGED for THOUSANDS of YEARS is COMPLETELY LIVED in only one MAN at the LAST DAY. I just OPENED the ENTIRE MYSTERY of My rule on PEOPLE. Man knows the purpose of My work and moreover has understood all My mysteries. And I TOLD THE MAN ALL ABOUT THE DESTINY that he CONSIDERED. I have REVEALED to man ALL My MYSTERIES HIDDEN for over 5900 YEARS. 🙏🙏
WHO is JEHOVAH? WHO is the MESSIAH? WHO is JESUS? You should know all this. 🙏
My WORK REVOLVES in these NAMES.☀️
Do you understand that?
HOW should My HOLY NAME be PRONOUNCED? HOW SHOULD My NAME be done in ANY of the COUNTRIES that CALL Me by ANY of My NAMES? ☀️
My WORK is now EXPANDING and I will SPREAD its ENTIRETY to ANY and ALL COUNTRIES. Because My WORK is DONE in YOU, I WILL DESTROY YOU the 6000 years of GOD’S REIGN plan is CLOSE to the END, and the DOORS of the KINGDOM have been OPENED for ALL those WHO seek His EXHIBITION. ☀️🙏
Dear brothers and sisters, what are you waiting for?
What are you looking for? Are you WAITING for GOD to APPEAR? Are you LOOKING for His FOOTSTEPS?
Really longing for God’s appearance! And God’s footsteps are really hard to find! ☀️
In the TIMES LIKE NOW, in a WORLD LIKE this, WHAT SHOULD we do to WITNESS the DAY of GOD’S APPEARANCE? ☀️
WHAT SHOULD WE DO TO FOLLOW GOD’S FOOTSTEPS? ☀️
Questions like these are faced by all those who are waiting for God to show up. You’ve thought about all of this more than once—but what was the outcome? Where does God show up? Where are God’s footprints? Did you get the answer? Many people will answer like this: “God appears among those who follow Him and His footsteps are among us; IT’S JUST that SIMPLE! ☀️
Anyone can give a formulaic answer, but do you understand what the manifestation of God or His footsteps means?
GOD’S APPEARANCE REFERES to His COMING to EARTH to do His WORK PERSONALLY. ☀️
BRINGING His OWN IDENTITY and DISPOSITION and in HIM’S NATURAL METHOD, He COMES DOWN to HUMANITY to FULFILL the WORK of STARTING an AGE and ENDING an AGE. 🙏
From “The WORD Appears in the Flesh”. holy book
Fulfilled in “In the beginning He was the Word, the Word was with God, and the Word was God” (John 1:1). … and ” When I looked up, someone handed me a book wrapped in a scroll. I opened it and I read on both sides the prayers, lamentations, and curses.” (Ezekiel 2:9-10). … “His clothes were stained with blood. He was called the “Word of God” (Rev. 19:9,13).
The kingdom He brought down and set up in the highest in the sky so that it can occupy His creation in the universe and engrave on it the entirety of His Holy name “THE CHURCH OF ALMIGHTY GOD” 💐 fulfillment of (Mat. 16:18) “And I say as for you, you are Peter, on top of this rock I will build my Church, that even the power of death will not be able to overcome it.”. … and in “The Letter to the Church in Philadelphia” (Rev. 3:7-13). … 💫”The New Jerusalem” (Rev. 21:10) “The Spirit covered me, and the angel led me to the top of a very high mountain. He showed Me Jerusalem, the Holy City, coming down from heaven from God.”
📩God’s sheep are called and led to His glorious Throne “THE CHURCH OF ALMIGHTY GOD”💐 to submit again to His authority so that He can continue to teach, guide and protect even in plague, famine and wild animals will not be moved by it and completely win this final battle with the big red dragon!
“They say aloud, “Salvation comes from the Lamb, and from our God who sits on the Throne!” (Rev. 7:10). … “They will walk in white with me, for they are worthy. ” (Rev. 3:4). … and it will be fulfilled that it will be built above the sky/Youtube in (Isaiah 2:2) “In the Last Day, the mountain on which Jehovah’s temple stands will stand out above all the mountains. All nations will flock to it. ” 📨

You know I just wanted to tell you thank you it is not always easy to be a pastor’s wife. God bless you 🙏
This is just so powerful! I have never heard of this pastor…I am going through healing from trauma. My first marriage ended because of my trauma. Now God is healing me for my next marriage.
God bless you. Pastor Robert is awesome. Derek Prince has some good videos on deliverance as well. Be warned, when you are delivered from evil spirits, they come back. Your house, your body/mind etc needs to be filled with the word of God so they can’t come back once you’re delivered from the evil spirits that attach themselves to us from trauma. May God bless you. In Jesus’s mighty name I decree peace and healing over you.
Check out the podcast “the place we find ourselves.” ❤
@@sarahcarrascoa lot of times the deliverance comes through the healing process of the trauma
Oh my, I had been crying all morning, didn’t go to church. It seems past trauma of rejection hitting me again from all angles.
This message found me, praise God. Trauma from the womb and then through years even after salvation 😮… painful. I feel like it’s been lifted again and I can smile today and know God really loves me, as I long to be with him My Father❤
Crying heals emotional pain.
GOD uses the most broken people to do his work.
When we talk about our trauma it always starts with what happened to our parents first. Shows that trauma is generational. What a powerful story.
My wife and I are on the verge of divorce. I’ve left and we have been separated since mid-August because of verbal and emotional abuse. I believe the root of it all is childhood abuse. Please pray that she will find some way to speak to someone, somewhere about this. I have asked her to tell me what happened but she can’t. Holy Spirit, please make a way where there seems to be no way.
Thank you for sharing your prayer request with us. Our teams are honored to pray for you and your request. Jesus assures us in Matthew 18:19–20 there is power when we agree in prayer. Be encouraged as you continue to pray. The Lord is faithful to hear your prayers, and He invites you to come to Him for help in your time of need (Hebrews 4:16).
Amen!
send her this…Please Jesus, save this couple.
I pray the lord sets her free . Hold on because she is coming back to you and she will be set free and delivered from trauma in tbe mighty name of Jesus we pray Amen Thankyou Jesus
Let there be light Amen.
Thankyou for sharing this testimonie . It wasnt easy I know . Your testimony is a great weapon aganst satan and I know you have saved many couples relationships through this crushing testimony. This is probably the most important thing in your life that you have done to bare yourself out there and testifie your life and finally set yourself free . Im so greatfull you you came to Gods table and told your story . You shall truly be set free and be at peace with the past. You are a vessel of God . We need to hear from people who have been through the same tormenting times that you have experienced because its only people like you who can understand the pain others are going through . And it gives them hope that if you can get through it and make a way into the light at the otherend then so can they . You being a very busy pastor people dont realise that people of God get attacked the most because Satan is out for you the day you were born knowing the plans that God had for you . He really tried to wreck your life but he lost big time because now through your pain and your steadfast love in Christ Jesus he has lost the battle . Your great victory over the devil is that you have won souls to Christ and they will be healed in Jesus name . If you had not testified this many couples in your church would not have survived their marriage. But with your help and guidance they now have hope in restoring their relationships . I just love you and thankyou for your brave honesty and your humbleness you have blessed many . May God continue to bless you and your wife Debbie and may your love for one another be immeasurable and may you be unified and live a blessed and beautifull life for the rest of your living days and may God give you back what the devil stole . In Jesus mighty name Amen 🙏 🙌
Whoever is reading my post. Please pray for God to bring back my wife. We are currently separated for almost 2 years.
Pastor Robert, if you happen to read my post, please, pray to God for Him to restore my marriage. My name is Gilbert and her name is Sharon. I appreciate everyone that will be praying for us.
Jesús is the restorer of marriages , he restored mine he can the same or even better for you brother.
Be prepared
You both are in my prayers as I am having a similar struggle. God give you both grace ,mercy and healing.
Lord, meet Gilbert and Sharon and restore their marriage in Jesus name. God of possible and impossible, heal this union and let all that is against Christ be subued to his obedience. Amen.
I am praying. My daughter in law is leaving my son and I’m convinced it is because of her past trauma. I’m praying for their complete healing
Prayed
I know this message is several months old but we recently starting going to gateway again after being at home after the pandemic. I heard this message at such a timely time in my life. I’m so over and DONE with my trauma impacting my life. While I am saved , I know the control is what I needed to let Jesus have. The drivers seat is best occupied by the only one worthy of a license, which is Jesus. Thank you Papa God for revealing the beautiful masterpiece of healing through my trauma. Thank you Pastor Robert !
Oh Father please heal your children we need you so desperately. 11/23
By HIS stripes we are healed.
I was sexually abused from a toddler till I was 12. It ruined my life in so many ways. I accepted the Lord at 8, but didn’t know enough to grow. I came back to Him st 21 and at 28 I received the baptism of the Holy Spirit. He walked me through forgiveness and healing. He DRAMATICALLY healed me from self loathing and shame. God is our healer. He loves us. Let Him do the work in you
How do you let him
Praise God for His healing work in you. May you continue to grow from strength to strength. You are indeed loved and lovable. 🤗
@@skyninjaslayer337Surrender. Give Him your whole heart. Don’t let any person place of thing get in the way of you seeking Him first.
Talking to Him about everything. With child like Faith read His Word and ask the Holy Spirit to speak to you through His Holy Word. Pray that He will create in you a clean heart and renew a right spirit within you. That He will heal your emotions.
Be still and Know He is God. His presence changes everything. Get with Him in secret pour your heart and wait on Him. Don’t leave until you experience His peace His presence. Ask Him to uninstall the wrong patterns of thought that have exalted itself against the knowledge of Him. Who He is and what He has done for you.
Ask for forgiveness for any lies you are believing about Him.
Ask Him to help you see with His eyes and Love with His heart.
Ask Him what may be blocking or interfering in your relationship with Him. Anything in your life that is keeping you from hearing Him. Seek Him first with your whole heart. He is Worthy.
And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.
Jeremiah 29:13
You let God by accepting Jesus first, you repent your sins and pray like”God I was wrong please forgive me, now I accept Jesus Christ into my life, I acknowledge the Trinity God the father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit is the only true God. Jesus in the only true God and he is now my Lord and Saviour, I will follow Him all the rest of my life”.now you have a personal relationship with God, He will lead you and guide you.
then you need to read the Bible everyday, pray everyday, to find a local chuch which God led you to go, when your faith grows, you will see how great our God is and what He can do.”@@skyninjaslayer337

Your life situation is not to hold it too yourself… Things happened – but too help the next person — who that same thing is happing too them now… But wanna take they life or do the same to someone else as it was done to them — our job is to tell our story!! To give god the glory ” of how god fix’s a bad & broken situation — in made it all good
As someone who experienced A LOT of trauma as a child, I needed this reminder to surrender my life back to my Savior! I can’t do it on my own. I’ve tried.
I give myself to Jesus. I give up control and I give myself to Him. Amen.
I came across this message and Holy Spirit recently had me understand that in 1973 3rd grade my teacher verbally abused me for the whole year. I’m on the healing journey now.
I’ve been married 8 times…only left with my kids and horses…sometimes we escaped..I’ve been a Christian since March 31st 1974… with God I made it… my 2 children are Christians…my grandchildren too love Jesus ❤❤
8 times wow. Pray about the man you are marrying to save yourself all the pain and drama.
This man is so brutally honest and transparent!! I commend him for being willing to help others
