I am a pastor in a church planting in Bosnia and Hercegovina and even I am in a wheelchair, God has given me the opportunity to trust Him and share with others about the grace of giving.

[@user-dr6wq7mn4v]

Lord bless you Pastor Morris, for preaching His TRUTH 😮😮😮i mean what else would i say except by being your brother Pedro G and listening to His words through you His vessel God Speed sir, 🤟🙏

[@lindanorrell7812]

Thank you For this message I just saw a chisel and hammer The Lord is getting things in my life off me that doesn’t Need to be there I sunder to Him Amen

[@beverlydavis7613]

Yes, Pastor Robert, this is what God is doing in my life at this time in my life. I had been teaching, ministering, going all over the place singing and thought that I was on point!, no I needed to know HIM !!! My life Scripture has been, ' I have been crucified with Christ, I live yet not I, but Christ liveth in me, and the life that I now live is by the faith in the Son of God who loved me and gave Himself for me.' I have been in a place where I had been misinformed by some ' Doctrinal ' teachings that kind of tried to hold me back and hold me down. I thank for you and this teaching in God's WORD.

[@sewwithteddiesafrique]

God, please help me. I dont want to lose my mind.

[@kristinegreen4474]

I do not attend a church currently. I do spend every day in prayer. I read the Word and words of others to strengthen my walk. I am 67 and am thankful if it is God's will to be over and above years to experience life and to be a vessel for the Lord. I wake up everyday sometimes hurt, sometimes happy and sometimes sad. Everyday I praise him for another day. The sermon was encouraging and strengthen my walk. Bless your ministry and your family.

[@robkey4487]

I hope you do find a church. Fellowship creates Spirituality. I promise it will help you grow even more 🥰

[@Lively2Peace]

Yeah but what " spirituality" The Lord says scripture to " test the spirits". In an epistle, I'll have to come back for it to write edit it in Specificly and then you can too ck the context, that I am commenting appropriately, not discouragingly but as in Guard you heart; love your neighbor as yourself, we're already taken up the cross of Christ not the sinners,( or on his cross,as already predestinated for this time in Him, not as those 2,next to him or sinners otherwise)to accept alone seasons in prayer and Matthew 7:7,and Mark 11:24,with verses 25,26 well done ,as continuing appreciation satisfying; 1 John 1:9, Eph 6:12-18, Mark 12:24 prayer reliance on God through Jesus Christ) and we're all told scripturally spiritually in Christ; walk circumspectly, ask wisdom, looking at Apostle Paul example closely in Acts. Eph. 6:23 focus, fine to " ask for Peace, Love, and faith from God The Father and The Lord Jesus Christ; John 14:13,26,27 all meditative focus Holy Spirit guidance, strength, healing, reviving, refreshing in sights, direction, inspiration, motivational Divine well being ,readiness and conviction reinforcing. It can be very , again, very difficult to get 1 John 1:7 and 2 Corinthians 2:14,and 2 Peter 1:1-11 fellowship company-Christ walker's, at the alike measure of faith growth & zeal of purpose as one self; it's difficult to face the very common "pull backwards" of alot of Churches as now days common in local home town Church's. I for one find often much american- world class based prejudice with the richer , having more in our over all and their bringing the business offices they work in as come from to church with them. I received more wholesome Holy Spirit conviction reinforcing online in Ministries like Gateway,Pastor Robert Morris,Jimmy Evans,Dr Cloud,and other online as altogether " going into me" ; LWCC ( living word Christian Center,MN. Mac & Lynn Hammond,esp their Son Pastor Jim Hammond) Kenneth E Hagin/ Rhema, Keith Moore,Kenneth Copeland, recently late Jerry Savelle , Andrew Murray of 1800's Audio Books , The Power of The Blood of Jesus, and EW Kenyon, C. S. Lewis, Pastor Keith Butler of Detroit MI. And One of my most favored of all time,the late Pastor Charles Capps, ( any many more) all having members of the body of Christ, Absolutely Awesome , life changing enriching glorious full Gospel focused bountiful provision Holy Spirit annointed preaching & Teaching; Pastor Franklin Ghram. Jim Hockaday, Mark Hankin, O BLESSED LORD! GOOD GOD ALMIGHTY! GRACE GRACE GRACE ABUNDANCE! Like Summer Rain out pouring for the Receiving, endless fountain and flowing Springs and rivers of His living water ! Ministries among members such as in these 1 John 1:7 comments sharing fellowship Christ is in us,in Ministry: Ephesians 4:11-18!!! The" Main Stay" in Him, we are no less in assemblies, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves at all, but in spirit and truth well pleasing our faithful God accordingly to His paving for us. We must pray and live in spirit and in truth first loyalty to our Holy Father! He WILL make known, reveal our coming in and going out in our each ministry to us. Guessing and trying is not gentle as a dove and shrewd as a serpent, or Love of God inspired. Charles Capps online You tube ministry has many fear doubt and unbelief deliverance sermons ; Concepts of faith.And television ministry. Hearing his through Jesus Christ led me to Pastor Robert Morris Ministry/ Gateway. I do Love his Frequency titled sermons. And The Blessed Life, I could hear again already countless times. Just fully loaded Awesome Annointed Holy Spirit Ministry! And Hope maketh not ashamed ( does not disappoint) ...Romans 5:5.Blessing all believer in God The Father and Jesus Christ our Lord Galatians 5:22,23 In Jesus Name Amen!

I am so happy I watched this this morning. Years ago a woman prophesied over my sister and I that we did not know. She said my sister would be blessed in her life, but when she looked at me and prophesied she had a disturbed look on her face. I really let that effect my life unfortunately. I should not have thought a stranger who just said and looked at me decide who I am in Christ!

[@bbredhead70]

She wasn't a prophetess of God because when someone prophesies over someone, they are only confirming what God has already revealed to you the purpose of your life.

[@tameishalcampbell]

@@bbredhead70this is a fallacy and unscriptural. How is it prophecy ( foretelling the future ) if you already know it?? I have been prophesied to multiple times about things I knew not of and they have come to pass.

[@AnasthassiaMurillo]

Unfortunately, there are a lot of "Christian" charlatans out there "prophesying ", when in reality they do not even qualify to be fortune tellers. It is a shame.

[@Araven123]

Some people don’t prophesy-they prophe-lie. If someone prophesies negativity on your life, rebuke it in the name of Jesus. Then trust and believe that Jesus has your back and your future in his hands ❤

[@qmydee1481]

I needed every part of this word today. Between my existential crisis of what I am supposed to be doing with my life, to literally wondering YESTERDAY what the root word for “DOM” is in kingdom! To a bad boss! I needed all of this and am so grateful for this encouraging word. I am so lost right now in my walk. So hurt and confused and I know God is not a God of confusion. Thank you. This is healing me and leading me and I am looking to listen to this again as soon as I am done this first time. God’s word is alive and active.

Dom in Kingdom ,is for Dominion; King's Dominion. The King above all Kings! John 14:26,27, Ephesians 1:17-23 & 2:1 ,& 10 ,for your pray believing Mark 11:24.Be sure you are Mark 11:25,26 all set , if you spoke it in Jesus name regardless what you feel from time to time, simply reconfirm for your peace declaring to yourself aloud, and this is submitting to God, saying what Jesus says ( Hebrews 1:1,2.) Refreshing in HOLY Spirit truth is excellent. Thank You for sharing in 1 John 1:7 fellowship here , and with me too, Trust God. Believe His word as your own. Blessing Peace and Joy Galatians 5:22,23 all to you! And all believer sharing readers and commenter's. With Special Gratitude to Pastor Robert Morris, thank You for being being and your brethren team so responsive to us online and in your heart and ours.In Jesus Name Amen

I have been wondering mary years now that why do I have such a boss and one co-worker. I have tried to move to another place/ work, but it hasn't succeed. After listening this speech I got this strong feeling that God is building my "nature" to be stronger - and pray for them.

[@chuckmurphy1669]

"When I make more, I'll tithe". He is so right about this. I am guilty! God has blessed me more than I can imagine and I have not been very faithful in my giving. This message hit me hard.

[@DR-rw7es]

What a beautiful word! I am in my Jacob season and boy have I had some interesting supervisors... Definitely questioned God a lot seeing as in my Joseph season I was seated in higher positions. Always felt like God had demoted me and I didn't understand why... Kept trying to get back to higher positions by my own strength, my own effort but was delayed, denied, blocked etc. Now I understand why. God was building my character and ironically I've gone through this for the last 8 years. Glory to God. But I can see His promises on the horizon. God is so good. Thank you man if God for breaking this down! Continue to be blessed 🕊️🌄🌻🦋

If I do not have a home church, where do I tithe? I have several different ministries that I support but just curious about this. I work Sundays and Wednesdays so I cannot attend in person here in town.

[@maryfolks9368]

I would look for a church that's non denominational that celebrates the Sabbath on Saturdays. I've found a church in my town and they're a non denominational church and they believe as I believe but....I've recently found out that they don't believe speaking in tongues is for today's world. This is something very personal and important to me. Either way I'd pray about it and let the Holy Spirit lead you. As far as tithing? I don't have a suggestion for that, sorry. Much love my sister in Christ Jesus God bless you in your search.

[@robertandjoannadamson1196]

Thank you! I work Saturdays as well. We own our own janitorial company so our schedule is pretty limiting. I have had a very hard time even trying to do small groups or Bible studies as most people do these in the evenings and we work most evenings and during the day on Saturday and Sunday. Thanks for the suggestions. God bless!@@maryfolks9368

[@jklfds85]

I also have worked Sundays for over 8 years, and did stop going to church for those years. I don't have a home church either. I also give to a few trusted ministries. I do count that as tithing, I have prayed about it, and sometimes I feel God leading me to give to specific ministries. God knows my situation, and He knows your situation. Pray about it. I have started praying to find a good church. Hope you find a trusting church also.

[@aprilbrowncantstoppraising]

Robert Morris, a Prophet represents God before the people, whereas the priest represents the people before GOD. So often times the prophet will be sent by GOD to speak to HIS People, not for his own glory or attention but is speaking thus saith the LORD so you should stop trying to set people up for eternal failure. #soulseternity

[@aprilbrowncantstoppraising]

So many Preacher's now especially television and radio Preacher's are panicking and even fear of loosing their own celebrity, they have began to take scripture out of context as not to loose their grip on souls around the globe they feel they've influenced so now they feel they must tear down the PROTHETIC ministry, Robert claimed a person gifted in Prophesy is most times seeking self glory and to look important , when a TRUE Prophet does not always have a glowing report for that would be a false Prophet as is Robert Morris. In the times that we are in right NOW more often that not GOD is speaking in warning mode believe it ROBERT

Glad to hear, there are still people who are open minded when it comes to the Prophets. The book of Revelation as we know they are the Ministers for the last days both for the believers and none believers.

[@thetruthnothingelse5033]

There ia no pastors in christ matt 23:8, only with the devil.

[@MarianneRamos-jb6os]

If you are wise, you will listen first what the man wants to say, then you are to test the Spirit. The self proclaimed Prophets are more to be tested when they prophesied. Because the true Prophets are ordained by GOD HIMSELF. If I may ask you, who ordained Moses, Elijah, Elisha,Even Enoch, and all those Prophets like Nathan, Samuel, and all others blessed Prophets who come in the name of the LORD. What I hear you say is that you and your fellow are arrogant and too proud and just rejected the servant of GOD before you could ever hear him. Not because the person doesn't belong to your church, that doesn't mean the LORD can't use him. What if the message is not for you but for everyone in your church? Do you know what will happen? If the message is concerning the whole congregation, if they die without receiving the message GOD for them, and if they die with their sins, their blood will not be required on the Prophet but on you and those men who were you. And the Prophet is not a Prophet of anyone but of GOD. Keep that in mind. What Prophet will be left for you are the false one, less you and those men repent. Prophet Jonah is a Hebrew man, yet GOD appointed him to prophesy to the Gentile, Nineveh. Jonah doesn't belong to Nineveh. In the last day, the sign the LORD foretold is the signs of the Prophets Jonah and Daniel. Blessed are ye who have ears and hear. The way I see it, you ain't got ears to hear.

[@aprilbrowncantstoppraising]

Your teaching on "Prophets" is scripturely in ERROR, a PROPHET is called of GOD sometimes to build up and edify and sometimes rebuke and admonish, this is why YOU are a false Prophet in need of true Salvation, Prophecy does NOT always have the luxury to encourage aka "speak smooth things") as what folk desire to hear. Stop being a stand up comic Robert Morris
