@@randycouch2769 How many lives were ruined by abusive teachers? But I don't see you advocating home schooling. How many lives were ruined by abusive parents? I don't see you advocating not having children. How many women's lives have been ruined by abusive husbands? I don't see you advocating that people not marry. It all seems rather selective; your hatred here.
@@randycouch2769 Really? Yet you are giving the country as a whole a pass, after all that Indian War fighting, manifest destiny and broken treaties? So, you either selectively hate the Church, or you hate your country. Which is it?
If you are under spiritual attack, then research to Rosary, and learn to pray it everyday. As Fr Gabriel Amorth Vatican chief exorcist said “anyone who goes to Mary and prays Her Rosary cannot be touched by satan” Learn this exercise early in life and life will go so much easier on you, trust me I’ve learned the hard way.
When I saw this I had to rewind and rewatch several times. I had no idea other people, particularly people I would respect have the same issues I do. I cried. And cried. And had to dissect it for myself. The lies we have agreed to...Without even realizing. It’s happening in our personal lives as well as a culture in this age of technology and fake news. Jesus come and heal us 🙏🙏🙏
@@brookecoach there isn't a person in the world that doesn't have issues, it's impossible to be perfect in a fallen world, you can't grow if your 'perfect', its better to be imperfect and fall from time to time because it will keep you humble, and by praying every day and keeping your mind,body and soul pure and humble one day you will fall for the last time through the gates of heaven.
I pray for you very much. Valentina Papagna's messages enlightened me, otherwise I'd never have known about you guys' issues. Much love from the other side of the world! Please consider visiting MaryRefugeofHolyLove blog. God bless
I love Sensus Fidelium content.. Thankyou for the work you do..Sensus Fidelium is a spiritual bounty for me..I am sure it is so for so many people out there too.
Fr.Miking hit it on the nail…Naming it, identifying it, the truth of what your experiencing & acknowledging feelings that may be contrary to the truth while also living in the midst of truth.
Wow, ... I've experienced 'internal accusations' for several weeks, and have been praying to overcome it (including yesterday/last night), then ... this video appears in my YT feed. Praise Jesus Christ!
i will help with the mind "dont belive in everything, question everything, belive and seek the truth, repent when fault, seek jesus a lot. lord, is the good guy , lord is truth, the honest the humble, is is kind , he is good, is the real good. satan is game, with bad intentions, he trying to defeat you, trying break you, faking the good, being the bad , sometimes it you. sometimes is you who want to change , who doesn't want to see , disbelief . you sometimes don't want to seek. . virgina mary, saint michel, and jesus is the way the role models you can choose wveyday. r,p,b
Matt, with the fruit these videos/talks/book/openness about porn addictions for men and women/etc and ALLL that it is bearing, as I’m sure you’ve heard before, you have a BIGGGGG target on your back for the enemy to try and attack. Lord Jesus, protect Matt & his family, protect Fr. Mike & what all these great men are doing for Your Kingdom!! (I’m a missionary for a tiny ministry called Catholic Young Adult Sports - it started in Denver, so I’m already getting attacked)
I live in Denver as well. For the love of God man Pray. The. Rosary. Pony up and start praying [15] decades a day. Sorry for the plug but theres another yiutuber on here called Gabiafterdark. He has a great video on how to get started praying a full decade rosaries with testimonials. Our Mother has literally given us a weapon from heaven. Use it.
Regarding spiritual attack, what are your thoughts on God allowing Job to be attacked by Satan or God allowing Peter to be attacked by Satan? I being this up because you mention being attacked but ultimately who is in control, the enemy or God?
Eric God is always in control, but I feel by God alloying this he wants to teach us understand that we have more power than satan as long as we keep our faith and through the blood of Jesus, if we don’t give up the victory is ours
I've begun to learn in my spiritual walk, that I can acknowledge and affirm my feelings and at the same time recognize that they don't always reflect the truth about myself or a given situation.
Those accusations drove me into a 3-year depression starting when I was 11 years old. And how much proof there was! Eventually the accusations became the whole truth, in my mind. It wasn't until rock bottom, when my closest circle of friends all dropped me on the same day, that I was able to begin to recognize what was happening. After my grieving period of a couple weeks, I woke up one day and decided that God must have a reason for this. God has a reason for this. And slowly I was opened to all the counter-proofs, that I really was likeable and loved. And so I made the effort, similar to what Matt does in the beginning of this video, to replace every accusation with a positive truth. I didn't know I was battling demons, so I didn't use the same format as Mr. Fradd. But the effect was the same :)
Your "Pints with Aquinas" are great! Where else outside of philosophy classes (and not even there at times) do the good doctor's works get related to current matters? In the massive pile of pyrite that is so much of the internet, those clips of yours are truly golden.
I had the most freeing experience: recently, while doing my prayers, I suddenly felt very unworthy. Then the thoughts “why should I bother, I’m just going to go to hell; I am so unworthy“ came to me. I looked at the crucifix before me, I pointed to it and I said “ you are right, demon, I am unworthy; and there is my full payment! The loving, tortured, Holy blood of Jesus Christ paid for me!” At that very moment I felt totally free. I can only guess at the holy spirit led me to that because I didn’t even know why I did it! However; the rest of my prayers are free of guilt and I felt a loving peace.
These guys just saved me a bunch of money in therapy! Seriously! I have struggled with feeling worthless for years and it doesn’t help when pretty much every one in my life really is smarter than me. But the deep pain I have been having is how some of my friends treated me. The pain is of betrayal and the pain is so deep that it is going on 10 years now. And even though I am finally starting to feel forgiveness in my heart towards them. What Fr. Mike said about the brokenness of these people that caused you pain. WOW! I never really gave that too much thought. So these friends of mine that hurt me definitely have a lot of brokenness in their heart. Thank You Matt and Fr. Mike. I will be better able to pray for my friends brokenness and mine. Thank You Merciful Jesus, the Immaculate Heart of Mary and the Holy Spirit.
My brain was screaming watching this video. I have been trying to dissect the various thoughts that come my way, and have never been able to do it as well as I needed to. Now I can get somewhere. Love this.
My father used to always say: The road to hell is paved with good intentions. That is what I hear when I feel like a failure. But you are right, Fr. Mike, Jesus died for us anyway. He always loves us!
Agreements are important for structure and I truly believe if we form an agreement we should stick to it for the right reasons. Recently I had to apply to the Family courts, to be judged and it was worth the leap of faith to form the resulting agreement and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. I did it for my child because they want to be with me more and that was the right reason in my experience.
"I really do like to hear what's going on because then you get to call it, name it - Where does that come from?" I think everyone needs a Fr. Mike in their life.
I don't feel a failure when speaking with someone smarter - I know there's always someone smarter than me. I feel worthless when interacting with someone more successful or wealthy than I am.
Holy Cow!!! Matt, you're experience (about worrying that people will recognize me as a fraud) is EXACTLY the same thing I experience. Next time this happens to me (give it about 20 minutes) ... I'm going to try your solution. Thanks!
i get those kind of intuitions/feelings all the time and just sort of try to grit through it and/or avoid the situations...I am old enough now to realize it won't go away for the rest of my life, so its great to be given a better blueprint forward in fighting the fight we all fight. Thank you to both Fr. Mike and Matt!
Thanks Father and Matt, really inspirational for me to listen to this advice. We need to discern every situation! Thanks for our great Catholic Church and all our evangelists like you helping us all to lead better lives for our own good and for the good of our whole world!
Love this Differentiating between the truth of how we feel verses the Truth of what God says about us. Being able to acknowledge honestly how we feel and the belief while praying to God and knowing the truth of what God says about that belief So good
Top 10 best TH-cam videos I have ever seen. Seriously. A total God send. Praise God and thank you! Also, Matt, my younger sister and I were only just discussing how we take what you do for granted when it comes to educating people on porn. Who else is doing it?! Thank you. We see you!!
"death and life are in the power of tongue." Proverbs 18:21. We're fools if we think our words and thoughts have no power, even if they're only directed to ourselves. I'm struggling with this right now myself. In moments of despair I wonder why Christ bothered to make me knowing I'd be so pathetic.
Yeah, I might be a stupid fraud, but that doesn’t stop God from equipping me to do his work. Buh bye Satan! 😁 Everything I needed to hear at the time I needed to hear it (two years after the video was made).😇🙏🏻
Michael Zutz the warfare is against the thoughts that accuse you of being worthless, the prayer is "in the Name of Jesus Christ, I know my worth is in You", but you have to tailor it to what thoughts you specifically are fighting Stuff around 3:30 - 4:00 is the reasoning you should emulate
I liked Matt's using of prayer to uncover the lies he's been believing. Super useful. But I did not like Fr. Mike's resorting to Brene Brown or DBT. If I wanted to learn about those topics I would have gone to Ted Talks. I want catholic resources not secular ones! If we can't go to our priests for Catholic teaching then who can we go to? I usually like Fr. Mike. This time, not so much.

The evil in an accusation isn't in whether or not there's grounds for it, but in that the vast majority of the time it is an action devoid of love.
You guys are amazing! Love this video and topic! 👏👏👏 Side note: you guys are geniuses and the world has much to learn from you.
So happy to have come across this!!!

I can so relate to this. Great work guys. You are truly helping many people. God bless you both and keep you strong and humble as you both are.

5:55 "Don't should on yourselves"
A lot of the time that voice sounds like mine, and that's what is so confusing and tricky about identifying the lies
F.Mike is hitting on something very important. Acknowledge you feelings in midst of the truth.
Can self accusations and the lies that we tell ourselves lead to gnosticism?
Great video , slightly misleading title. Not much prayer was done in the vid
9:01 ROFL >_< ...I think I need to hang around you more!
Somewhat misleading title but some very good info.
So how do you break the agreements?
Ooof that productivity lie. Whenever that comes up in my mind i just remind myself that Jesus preferred Mary to Martha
What does he mean when he says he may never watch the office
Where are the spiritual warfare prayers?
Michael Zutz the warfare is against the thoughts that accuse you of being worthless, the prayer is "in the Name of Jesus Christ, I know my worth is in You", but you have to tailor it to what thoughts you specifically are fighting
Stuff around 3:30 - 4:00 is the reasoning you should emulate
Comparing yourself to others is a sin. Isn't it?
he is hot
Hard to take someone seriously who promotes communion in the hand....
Did I hear the s*** word or am I imagining it? Just wondering.
I think that's what I was hearing too.....
Never heard it from a priest, they are human after all.
