Pastor Robert Morris Last Sermon Before Resignation.

- The pastor of a megachurch in Dallas resigned Tuesday, two days after admitting to "inappropriate sexual behavior with a young lady" 35 years ago. The "young lady" in question was 12 and the "behavior" as she described it would amount to criminal sexual abuse.
The now-former Pastor Robert Morris of Gateway Church was preaching to more than 100,000 active attendees and was once a spiritual adviser to former President Donald Trump. His resignation comes four days after 54-year-old Cindy Clemishire went public with allegations that Morris started molesting her when she was 12 and he was 21, telling USA TODAY on Tuesday that she was no longer afraid.
It was kissing and petting and not intercourse, but it was wrong," Morris, 62, said Sunday in a statement to local Dallas news station WFAA-TV. "This behavior happened on several occasions over the next few years ... Since that time, I have walked in purity and accountability in this area."
At first the church was standing behind Morris but announced his resignation following a wave of criticism.
NB : The video watched was his last preaching that posted on his instagram official account 4days ago before he called for resignation.

Before we throw the first stone, man or woman, hope we appreciate how much Jesus has forgiven us.
Jesus also watched him do that to a 12 year old and, with all His supernatural powers, didn't do anything about it. Or any of the other preachers, pastors, priests, and ministers that raped, and continue to rape, children. Seems like Jesus and his Old Testament alter-ego are fine with it. It's not against any of the Ten Commandments. Besides adultery, in Robert Morris' case. But Jesus forgives him for that one.
On point....
Amen 🙏 too many SELF RIGHTEOUS people in the church 💯
Being forgiven does not mean we give a free pass to child molestors and liars.
“It isn’t my responsibility to judge outsiders, but it certainly is your responsibility to judge those inside the church who are sinning. God will judge those on the outside; but as the Scriptures say, “You must remove the evil person from among you.””
1 Corinthians 5:12-13 NLT
Offering prayer and supplication for Cindy the woman affected pray for her spiritual and mental emotional healing. Also praying for Robert Morris and his family. I know he has sinned but i also know since this time he sinned he dedicated himself to leading others to God and his ministry saved my life a number of years back when in a very very low place. I believe in the God who can heal and I pray that he would heal the hearf mind soul and spirit of cindy compltely from the sin commited against her and that she might find forgiveness in her heart in. jesus name.
@@David-_-_- leading others to god doesn't make what he had done any better this kind of attitude is why people hate christians
Everybody is ready to judge and condemn but all of you who only seek that , you should know that everyone of us stands condemned in the presence of God . The bible tells us we have all fallen short . Its only by Jesus that we are able to be in the presence of God ...
So really we all need Jesus just as much regardless of our failures ... Why not show Love ? Love covers a multitude of sin , love restores and heals .
They both need Jesus .
And we can be used in this situation to bring love and comfort.
Praying for a spirit of peace .
Robert was my favorite pastor. I will miss his teachings. He has taught me a lot. I pray for the Morris family.
Me too I am so sad and heart broken. BUT we are here we have the bible and we have God.
Pray and intercede for Him
This is the work of the devil
12 years old isnt a "Young Lady", thats a Child.
But she was still getting in his car and going for rides at 16. And didn’t tell her folks till 17. Something is wrong with this story.
@rhondadominguez3032 Doesn't matter, it was a Crime.
@@HChartierKJV it does matter. There’s more to this story.
@@rhondadominguez3032 It doesn't matter the fact is that she was a child and he kept abusing her.
@@francesfries7totally agree
I'm not gonna throw a stone. He repented years ago and from all accounts has lived pure ever since. If God restored David in the Old Testament how much more should we be ready to forgive. I'm not saying we are naive, but how can we preach that God forgives and gives second chances if we don't practice what we preach.
A Christian pastor robbed a bank and got away with $1 million dollars. Later he felt sinful and asked God for forgiveness. Believing he was forgiven he went on vacation with the money, bought a new car with the money and a house. Did he repent?
@@pageleftblankintentionally Are you saying you know that Robert Morris hasn't repented?
@@nicholasweston7099 you tell me if the pastor I mentioned repented.
@@pageleftblankintentionally Obviously not. Do you know if that scenario applies to Robert Morris?
@@nicholasweston7099 neither did Morris.
Why now, why not when Robert when to meet with Cindy’s family?
It’s all about money.
What kind of parents Cindy had, and for this affair to happen again and again it’s weird about her.
Brother, Robert, I want you to remember one thing. We are exactly where god allows us to be at no place else. You know as well as I know, he has not abandoned us. We have all made mistakes some worse than others. But we both know of a man who went against his giant with the rock. We are praying for you and your family and of course the young lady.
God's will be done.
Not a mistake, Morris sexually kept assaulting this child for 4 1/2 yrs!
A mistake!!! Really!!! Let's call it what it is. sin, which he so covered up,and he called it a moral failure! And this ''mistake' is what people go to jail for. Yes, we can be forgiven, but we have to understand there are consequences to our sin. Let's begin to expose these people and make them accountable.
White snake
💯🙏
@@judydecloedt6465 what Robert did at 19 and multiple yrs after was wrong no excuses. There is no sin that cannot be forgiven so we not only pray for the victim, we pray the Lord uses this to bring Robert to his knees to truly repent, be forgiven and restored in a righteous relationship with Christ.
I will continue to listen to his sermons
Why
I believe in forgiveness. I still love you & miss you.
A child predator needs to be held accountable because it is criminal he was a man in his 20’s married the victim was a 12yr old girl.
What makes you think he wasn’t held accountable? And if he never did it again and isn’t doing it now isn’t that repentance? And when people repent isn’t Jesus sufficient for them? And is t Jesus sufficient to heal the victim too?
I speak this as a vicitim of child molestation. She can be healed and he can be forgiven. That’s not denying the severity of what He did or what she suffered. It’s testament that Jesus is infinite and eternal and His redemption and healing is complete.
Roman 12 - 17 Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone. 18 If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. 19 Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,”[d] says the Lord. 20 On the contrary:
“If your enemy is hungry, feed him;
if he is thirsty, give him something to drink.
In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head.”[e]
21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
We are supposed to cover our brother’s sin and help them. If he is forgiven by God then we should forgive as well.
Forgiveness does not mean removing accountability. God still.lets us suffer for our sins although he loves us and forgives us the ultimate penalty.
Forgiveness does not mean that trust is restored after its been broken
You really think we are supposed to "cover" this, hide it? At the expense of the victim, the church, and the ones he is exercising authority over? Elders are not without sin, but are supposed to be above reproach because of the critical position they hold in the church according to 1&2 Timothy. Shame on you for making this comment. Please read the scriptures.
Robert Morris has a net worth of 117 million dollars because his repeated crimes of sexual assault against a minor was consistently covered up for the last 42 years.
We can be forgiven if we confess our sin. Morris has yet to do that.
@@davidm3493 He can be forgiven while he rots in jail. He committed crimes. Lots of crimes. Over and over for 4 plus years! To a child! He is under grace (if he fully confesses and fully repents) but also under secular law. Submit Robert Morris... completely.
"I resign, and surrender to the police" would be a start.
I sure would hate for all of my sins to b broadcast over the world. But it just hard to believe. But it is true.
Amen 🙏 we need to heed to God's voice when He speaks to us about our sin💯 repent and forsake it💯
It has shocked me, hard to believe. I hate what he did.
@linegrant4605 so true 👍.
So we need to realize that none of us are better than anybody else yes it’s bad what happened but it was in the past do we think Jesus would stone him no he would forgive if pastor morris has repent and done the things he needed to do then that should be good anyone of us could fall into the same sin let’s pray for him his family and the victim and let’s not try to destroy someone blessings
Praying for the truth to be known
Saint Maria Goretti resisted sexual assault and attempted rape by her neighbor, Alessandro Serenelli, on July 5, 1902. She was only 11 years old at the time. When he tried to molest her, she fought back and refused his advances, saying "No, it's a sin! God does not want it!" Her resistance and refusal to submit to his attack led to her murder by stabbing.
Her bravery and martyrdom have made her a powerful symbol of:
- Resistance against sexual violence and harassment
- Defense of chastity and purity
- Courage in the face of danger and death
- Forgiveness and mercy (as she forgave her attacker before dying)
Maria Goretti's story has inspired countless people, especially young women and girls, to stand up against sexual violence and to value their dignity and self-worth.
Awe you can repent the Father will forgive you. I stand with you for all restoration. You can be restored back by God. Thank you for teaching and preaching. Don't listen to the bad things forgive them for they do not know what they do. Love covers a multitude of sin
Restored to what?
The best that can happen is restoration to a pew seat. I don’t see him doing that, do you?
He tried that it didn’t work….maybe a cell block will help
Pedophiles don’t usually change.
@@KristiLEvans1Robert needs to open himself up to raw truth, repent, be cleansed and restored into a righteous relationship with Jesus Christ. Thats why Jesus came to earth, suffered for our sins and rose again so that we may have life.
How about we pray that he may be restored. For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God
How about we pray for the victim of this crime brought upon her as a child and continued for years. How about we stop making excuses for these preachers that believe they can get away with this!
How about we pray that he never stands in a pulpit again.
He LIED about the facts of his CRIMINAL act on a CHILD. The TRUTH is now coming to light. He has disqualified himself from pastoral ministry. NO way he can be restored to this. If he repents, we know the Lord through His cross will forgive, just as He forgives all repentant sinners.
You have no idea of what scripture teaches. Very sad indictment of people who listen to folk like Morris
Really
Stop these things. Robert is accountable to His God not to any man.Yes sorry to the victim, but Is Robert the only man or child of God on earth who has committed sin? Robert shd not have resigned. He has lived in purity since then. When the righteous fall he rises up again. When the rapture takes place and Robert flies with Jesus and all those speaking against him and rubbing it in are left behind, all this does not matter. Right now what matters is let everyone work out his or her salvation with trembling. Be strong Robert
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Most people have physical as well as emotional scars. The emotional ones are much more painful. He stole her innocence and he should pay
He will and if he read his Bible, he knows exactly what God said would happen to those who have hurt the innocent ones... He knows... May he find Christ today and walk the talk.
Not a young lady, a child!
You who have not sinned cast the first stone….
His issue is ONLY wth God Almighty
I was molested by a youth group leader from the age of 9 to 12.
The fact that Morris lied about it stains his integrity. An adult man blamed his child victim for HIS behavior does not show a repentant spirit.
How about we pray he turns himself in for the crime of sexually abuse a child and pray the elders who covered up the crime turn themselves in and gateway people stop worshipping false prophets
There is a thing called statute of limitations. Robert needs to open himself up to raw truth, repent, be cleansed and restored into a righteous relationship with Jesus Christ. That's why Jesus came to earth, suffered for our sins and rose again so that we may have life.
Is sickening that a man in leadership abused a child.
You have sins as well
So we are all washed by the blood of Jesus
Yes We are all forgiven I hope the church in America can see that the devil is trying to divide the church
Well, we are continuing to pray that you come to true repentence, Robert. In so doing, you would bring some small measure of relief to the victim that you cause so much pain and suffering for. And the ongoing lies that you said against her and tried to silence her through manipulation. Your "resignation" from a position that you should have at very least been fired from and your ongoing silence are signs that you haven't come to the place of true remorse for the pain you caused.
He got brought to an intersection with God alright
Should have been fired. He wasn't...so glad his son was!!!
judge not lest u be judged
yeah.. we should judge rightly
Keep reading, Loretta. What ELSE does that passage say?
Quoting the Bible without understanding the context I see.
Ha😮 According to 1 Corinthians 5:12 Christians do judge 💯 please study the Word 💯🙏
@@Papaspronator🤣🤣 nailed it 💯👌
Jesus redeemed everything,so nothing is wrong now,let robert preach about jesus
A court of law with a jury is the place to establish gilt or innocence, certainly not the 'court of Y.T!
Pissed! No redemption,denial,lying that she was a young lady,didn’t don’t help her,ignored and didn’t really own it! But stating another scenario …..Prison time
Wouldn't it be great if Robert Morris really repented. Wouldn't it be great if he didn't blame his victim for being " flirtatious"? Wouldn't it be great if the law interceded and held him accountable for his wicked crime against a 12 year old little girl.?
Robert resigned, he did not repent . He should have been fired .
The whole gateway hiring a P.R. law firm is proof they wish to protect their image and not the victim.
Morris gets to walk away with his millions , his hush money offer failed in 2005 so he knew he had but a little time to make some confessions , howbeit , important details where left out so it looked like Morris was being up front and honest. But he wasn't . He was attempting to soften the shock knowing it was not over.
He also talked about his sexual issues in a sermon on the curse of past family sins. He blamed the root of his own sin on a past family sin .
By continually making excuses outside if himself to blame his own sin on is not confessing personal willful sin .
It is passing the blame onto others .
The man has built and taught others to blame their sin on others .
It's why he can play the victim . The man is disgusting and should be in prison.
AND Wouldn't it be great if his wife did not call the victim and tell her she forgives her!!! Hard to believe isn't it?
I’d say he truly repented if he turned himself into law enforcement. Apologized to the victim and his church. And paid the victim a huge lump sum for her pain and suffering she endured after the incident.
@@conniedecarolis3173 yes it would .
If robert confess the sin to Christ and asked the Lord to change and stop doing doing then yes he repented
Ive know Robert Morris was a Scumbag for years because he's been Leading people to Hell with his Damnable Heresy false Gospel of Lordship Salvation/Repent of your Sins. His Criminal Behavior doesn't surprise me at All. Anyone teaching Works Salvation is a Wolf 🐺 in Sheeps🐑 🐏 Clothing.
God Is Separating the sheep from the goats
12 yrs old isn’t a young lady it’s a child.
pray that the person will accept Jesus as his Lord and savior,
What Robert did at 19 and multiple yrs after was wrong no excuses. There is no sin that cannot be forgiven so we not only pray for the victim, we pray the Lord uses this to bring Robert to his knees to truly repent, be forgiven and restored in a righteous relationship with Christ.
This man did everything he could to keep what he did from being exposed. He lied that she was a "young lady" instead of a girl. He tried to talk her out of coming forward. He waited till the last minute and when he knew that he had no other way out, he finally played a show as damage control to protect himself. He has no remorse for what he did to her. He has no remorse for the innocence lost. He has no remorse at all. As a matter of fact, if she hadn't stopped him, it probably would still be continuing to this day.
He covered up
He said it was anyoung lady
I'm sorry lady for the Trauma that has occurred. May your God-Fidence, Strength and Courage come 7 Fold. I AM TRULY SORRY!
Pastor Morris, I still love you and the lady involved. May peace come to both of you!
She was not a lady. He groomed, then raped a young girl repeatedly for 4 years. He tried to cover it up until it came out . He is a criminal.
Pastor Roberts l love you and God loves and your forgiven l really appreciate your preaching and l liked listening to you l will see you soon in heaven at the rapture we have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God we are all guilty no one is without sin see you in heaven the rapture is days away
Why should grace only be given to him and not to his victim?
Thirty five years ago although not right what our God had forgiven by God we’ve all done things that were wrong our forgiving Father had forgiven Father had foregoing him I truly believe that we must also forgive him his sermons helped me to understand that matter what he did 35 years ago God him so should d o the same I pray for him and his family .
Thank you, Robert Morris for your sermons. I still love them. You gave me lot. God has something else for you to do now. Catherine Kuhlman was not perfect too. Please, people remember that we no one are perfect but God is perfect. Thank you, Jesus.
She was an imperfect 12 year old child. Don't make justifications.
@@xh0n3ybadg3r Your making inference that is not there. She is not justifying his actions. She is saying Robert needs to open himself up to raw truth, repent, be cleansed and restored into a righteous relationship with Jesus Christ. Thats why Jesus came to earth, suffered for our sins and rose again so that we may have life.
A . He lied about his testimony He said he was 19 when he was forever changed yet two years later as an adult he commited a felong a crime while married to his wife adultery fornication not a mankof God when this came out he resigned right awY which means he did not repent unrepented sin in which he always preached on Since that is unrepented sin I am almost postive he has done some other stuff that pertains to this
aWhat are your sins that you haven't repented for? Or are you perfect as you sit in judgement?
@@jjclisa5798 Can you refute the facts instead of coming to the defense of the criminal? We are not talking about a man who had an affair with an equal. He raped a young girl. Get over your hero worship.
for any church that goes out of it´s way to cover up the sins of it´s Pastor is not a church with biblical prinicples . However eventually the dark is exposed to the light
People supporting a man who’s unrepentant who threatens the victim is foolish and evil. He needs deliverance from demonic bondage and to truly repent.
God knew his sin and still blessed his ministry...go figure the mind of God.
@@stuarttodd1909 The Mormon Church is huge, do you think that the sign of a God "blessings" is the size of the Church?
Matthew 7 saints. I don't agree he should have been punished. I understand the impact of child molestation. I was once a victim. But if he went to God and asked forgiveness. Truly turned from his ways. We need to forgive. Many in the Bible sinned after salvation. We must pray for all involved. I just don't understand why the parents didn't prosecute when they had a chance? Now.. ? I mean he has never repeated that behavior and did step down in the beginning and got counseling for 2 years. I think the devil is mad at all the great things God did do through his ministry. She had til the age of 35 to prosecute him and didn't why? She couldn't have been to worried about other lil girls to wait til she is 54. I think it's a money issue. Sorry have to judge her fruit. Because nothing makes sense to do it now.
I don’t think you understand that he truly didn’t. We he did along with a small group of enablers was lie for 35 years in his books, in the pulpit, to his family, to get a church and even in his statement last week. In 2005 he threatened Cindy with criminal/legal action. This is in no way the heart and actions of a man that is repentant.
@ignitedfw I have given much more time in Tears and Prayers. I realize he has been very dishonest. Whether out of shame or pride it doesn't matter. He should never be in a pulpit again. Just confused if he was just a great speaker or was God's anointing on him ? How if he didn't truly repent.
He doesn't even look the same.
🙏
If only he told the truth, he was a deceiver. But we all have done wrong too 😮😮😮
This sin happened 40 yrs ago. I'm not saying it was not wrong, it was but pastor Morris repented and was forgiven by God. I know because God gave him a ministry and he brought several persons to Christ. This attack on Morris is from Satan and worldy people. Who are we to judge someone for a 40 yr old crime. Let God handle it.
Wow he was 20!!!!... Bible says rapist must marry the virgin and never divorce her lol
That is a terrible sin . I know what God's Word says what's the weather a man says he shall also reap. It's God's prerogative on how we must reap. For example we know how God forgave King David yeah he had consequences best thing is fear God I suffered some serious consequences recently
I think this is the only one left you can comment on! Church turned all the rest off. That should tell you everything about Gateway! Scam……
A 12 year old CHILD!
I guarantee you this He is doing more atuff and more will come out watxh
Part 2

Agreed. Unfortunately, Morris has not been repentant, nor has he apologized for his criminal SA of a minor.
Devil busy taking out the men of God in USA. Why?
Take your own advice
You're not as holy as you think you are! listen to him, brag about his special connection with God and how anotined he is God's favorite son ! Mr. Special blessed beyond no one can compare to him ! Pride obnoxious pride !
I don't know why anyone would listen to this prideful false teacher.?
The heretic is out of a job.
@ChangingTides777 He is a heretic that fails to teach from the bible. Anybody can quote passages from the bible and still be a heretic.
@ChangingTides777 I know it. With the same judgement you shall be judged and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.. What he did was wrong and abhorrent but life in prison, heretic? Robert needs to open himself up to raw truth, repent, be cleansed and restored into a righteous relationship with Jesus Christ. Thats why Jesus came to earth, suffered for our sins and rose again so that we may have life.
@Cfalse teaching.about tithing and many more thinhshangingTides777
@ChangingTides777 The word of faith preachers do not teach from the bible. They pervert the bible to make themselves very wealthy.
@@jjclisa5798 He actually needs to read the bible and you should too. Quoting from the bible out of context does not change the fact that he has been perverting the word of god for his own benefit.
it's wallowing in self piti that causes the most mental and emotional promblems.
Let it go, he did what he what was required by GOD, he apologized and repented and received counseling for 2 years and was forgiven by GOD and the Church, he just didn't give you the 54 year old what you wanted " all his money"
@@GodBlessYou112 it does not remove what Robert did and all she asked for is that he pay for her consoling.
He did not repent. They did not know that she was 12 at the time he groomed and then raped her? He tried to cover it up for the rest of his life till he could no longer keep it a secret.
Think about this, the first thing he said to her right after he touched her for the very first time was "don't tell anyone."
He lied to them then and he is lying now.
This is just so WRONG. Sir, you LIED to everyone and you’re lying to yourself and to God. Please!!!!!!!
He needs 5/10 in prison. That might pay for his crime and imagine the work of repentance he could do there; the opportunity to save so many lost souls. Instead he will leave his church and go to lick his wounds in his multimillion dollar properties. Luxury is his redemption.
Robert Morris hasn’t owned his sin yet.
Exactly, Robert needs to open himself up to raw truth, repent, be cleansed and restored into a righteous relationship with Jesus Christ. Thats why Jesus came to earth, suffered for our sins and rose again so that we may have life.
@@jjclisa5798
He also needs to pay restitution to his victim.
Interesting how you all are so quick to throw stones and condemn. The man owned his sin years ago, repented, went through counselling and has lived a changed life since then, devoted to Christ and changing many to know the Lord. Many years down the lane, the very Christians who should know better that Jesus forgives and doesn't impute sin on us when we repented, are the very people throwing stones now. I wish each of you would have their past sins exposed to the world and then condemned over that for ages down the lane.
I don't lighten what the victim went through years back. Am simply saying, Robert broke over that years back and sought to become a better man since. She too can receive complete healing. Punishing him now doesn't guarantee her healing.
Let the world throw stones, but for Christians to do the same simply speaks of how little they understand the Bible they claim to know. Jesus said let he that has no sin, throw the first Stone.
@@carolinenalukenge2595
Keep believing his lies if it makes you feel better. But I will not. And many others are not.
Life in prison
statute of limitations??? With the same judgement you shall be judged and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.. What he did was wrong and abhorrent but life in prison?

@@jjclisa5798 blah blah blah. I'm not afraid to stand to the same measure. I'm not a child rapist.
@jjclisa5798 you want a happy ending where Robert Morris makes a fake apology video and is accepted as a preacher again. He is fully acquitted, and everyone stands up and claps.
Well, guess what, we have a judicial system and criminals are sent to prison to deal with the consequences of their CRIMES.
why forgive
Ha😮 if you don't forgive others, God won't forgive you either 💯un forgiveness hinders your prayers 💯🙏
Can't forgive someone who won't confess or seek repentance
agreed
Ummm... I don't know if this man should have resigned or not. I don't know him at all. This trip about god and salvation. On one hand we are as stupid and innocent as lambs. One the other hand we are guilty and as black as satan. God also sees us as trees who should produce fruit. Not everyone produces fruit. Most everyone just has to slug through a single goddamned day to enjoy a moments peace. Then I saw that god prefers trees over us. Then why did jesus come? to save the trees? he can have them. take one or two or a billion. they are free.
