God is really using you! God bless you...." Love is about safety.. How you feel safe. OCD redefines safety. "I've got to fix these thoughts in order to feel safe" .....It is a lie!.. " .... Excellent! thanks
Oh Mark. I've been a Christian for over 25 years. I wish I received your type of teaching. I've felt like I had to work to receive salvation, work to stay save, work to earn heaven. After all of this working to be perfect I'm tired and still uncertain of God's unconditional love for me. I feel like I need a spiritual reset button. I want to know God, His love, mercy, and grace. Thanks for your videos.
Talk to Him. You can have a relationship with Him. He loves you very much ❤️
Tell Him all of your fears and struggles- everything. I told Him all of my fears and I feel so much better - drastic difference. He is there and love you.
Excellent stuff
Every psychotherapist should listen to this guy
Agree 100%
Thanks Mark! Really needed the reminder that God does not use fear to manipulate us.
Ive so gotten used to living in fear, shame and torment that peace and serenity are somehow strange. I have experienced them already and I will press on for more. The love of the father is the remedy. Its trusting and being loved. ❤
Everything falls back to just learning to be loved
I just want to say, THANK YOU. I went through severe postpartum OCD. Your perspective is the only one that helps. To know you are LOVED by Christ. Seriously.
This is what happened to me too! Mine came around almost immediately after having my son.
this is so helpful!! thank you!! i can’t handle silence in my life right now-it’s tied to the terror of being alone emotionally.
The identity issue it's so real.Ive been thinking about it for a while! Like some intrusive thoughts Im certain that are lies (Im secure in my identity) but those where my identity wasnt strong enough I feel like "omg what if this true?" and then these thoughts torture me and I cant forgive myself and I feel like my life it's ruined cuz God it's gonna put this into my account and never forget...
"The problem is not the problem!" ....The problem is I think solving what I think is the problem will fix my problem. But we never seem to solve it...then other emotions join the party then distortions arise and before you know it we are in the fight of our life. OCD will wear you out!
Sure will
This needs more awareness, thank you for making this video, i’ve been suffering from ocd for a very long time. i hope and pray The Truth will set me free from ocd. Thank God for you.
The problem is the not the problem ! 💯 accurate. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I really really need this. Thank you. May God bless you guys...
I am honored to know that. thanks
Thankyou, my name is Jodie English, and the Lord led me to you in my journey. This is the best teaching, that has definitely hit the spot. This subject has been so misunderstood, including even in the Church, and even well meaning Christians. What a blessing. Thankyou.
For 15 years I was afraid of God and the thought is gone but still comes up but its hard to have a relationship with God. Please pray for me I want to love myself and I need help
Nice to have found you today mark. My thoughts today were God I need help with ocd. Then I saw you. Looking forward to listening to all your teachings. Enough is enough. I’m ready for transformation
I recently discovered I had OCD. I always knew there was something off about me lol. But it's not funny actually. I never knew how many symptoms there were in OCD. I like many was limited to thinking it was all about cleanliness but no it's about soooo much more than that. I was shocked at all the things that went along with OCD like the mind that never rests over thinking about everything to the point nothing gets done because I everything done but in unrealistic times and done in an unrealistic timeframe. Not to mention the awful intrusive thoughts. It's so hard being a Christian going through all that too. And on top of it all it effects your relationships with people too. It took me until 42 years of age to find out what the heck was wrong with me. So glad I didn't find out any later in life!
I've been spending 5 years back and forth between OCD reassurance but listening to this video made me well up with emotions i haven't felt in for ages as i know it intrinsically to be true
I moved from Ct. to Charlotte a few years ago with my wife. And residing in SC now. Great to see you !!
Awesome Rich!
Excellent! Experiencing God’s love in the heart is the way to be free! Very practical and useful.
I have shared to one patient
Wow, you nailed it. Thank you.
Thanks God for your ministry Mark. Its been really helpful to me and many more people. God bless you always!
Wow does this hit home, thank you for sharing
Thank you, Mark
One of your best mark! God bless this message!
This is soooo helpful. Please keep this content coming. Love is about safety 🙏🏻 so much peace in that
Thank you for this... needed this...
So glad!
I didn't even know I needed this topic right now. Listened to one of your videos yesterday and spend quite a lot of the video like 😌😳😌😳😌😳. Thank you and God bless.
Praise God! Thank you for the video
Very helpful thank you so much
Jesus shows us the "Love of the father"... having OCD, "a foreign thought can come in because we don't have God's identity, or know our identity in Christ... because we dont know the truth, we become open to the father of lies and what he says...Change Daddies, stop listening to the false interpretation... . " an addiction begins anxiety and guilt... bondage .. Ground in love...
wow i needed to read this they arnt my thoughts
Soooooo good !
Thank you so much!
I hope you see these texts mark. One thing I’m thinking while listening. And I’ve had this same thought over last 15 years since I met you. You took me out to Panera bread then to your place for ministry. And hotel Meetings in East Hartford. SO, my point is I’ve never ever been able to focus enough to hear all your teachings. My brain is all over the place. I’ve asked you a while back if you had anything on adhd. Mark how can I even start understanding your teachings if I can’t focus. You might laugh but I’ve been trying for what, 15
Years trying to listen to
You. And I’m still behind. Trying to focus. If someone can’t focus. They’ll never get what your trying to say to help me.
I do have some videos on focus, but simply remain in what resonates. Keep it simple.
Wow, very good scriptural help for OCD
I mean, where has this solution been among all of the self help videos on OCD. This literally solves the puzzle. He hit the nail on the head regarding the lack of identity, so you believe the lies.
!!!! so true
Amen. Father let me find rest in your love.
Thanks you Sssso much.
I felt guilt at times like I was leaving God or angered him when I left the compulsions. Thanks for clarifying this.
Please pray for my son Sean dealing with OCD, Anxiety, MDD and ARFID. Thank you
“I began listening to the father of truth” amen 🙏
I HAVE THIS BOOK
I'M LEARNING TO CAST OUT FEAR.
Mind blown
Monica Toussaint is the point where runescape cop first contacted the university of minnesota system through my word. That's pretty historic!
I appreciate all you have done and continue to do.
God is Love. Fear is the devil. If I hold on to things that stem from fear, directly or indirectly, I will never get out of the pit. If I let go of fear, and hold on to love and what comes from love, I am better. I realised that all my OCD comes from fear. I have to obsess, I have to address, I have to check, I have to repeat, I have to worry and doubt and be uncertain and the only way to "fix" that is to interact with it. So wrong. Absolutely false. This video helped me realise that I don't have to engage with any of those things because they all come from fear and if I know that God loves me and is with me I don't HAVE to feel flase fear. That's what I say to myself. I don't HAVE to do this. I'm okay.
Once we realise how much of these thoughts and feelings come directly and indirectly from fear it's like we are looking at it from a whole new perspective. I thought I always had to fight, always had to fix, always had to be certain, always had to try and grasp at ghosts and catch them to make them go away. And if I didn't I'd call myself weak and cowardly. If you don't react you're losing and running away. So the fear results in a fear based response for a fear based problem that doesn't even exist and my reasoning for not turning away from that is also based in fear. Fear that I missed something, fear that something isn't just right, fear that it's not perfect, fear that something is negatively impacting my experience, fear that I can't ever feel fulfilled or satisfied until I give in to that compulsion, fear of being uncertain, fear of not being good enough. Literally every single aspect of that comes from fear.
Fear really is the enemy. If I can be courageous in the face of that fear and let it go, I do better. When I give in to that fear and either try to fix or fight it, I get worse. Thanks for helping me make that connection and admit to myself I have a bad relationship with fear in my life. God bless.
Thank you so much
I developed ocd and extreme anxiety plus other symptoms after giving up benzodiazepines, some pastors tell me I was attacked by unclean spirits, I even got a diagnosis of possession due to psychiatric drugs, it is such a difficult path as I could apply what you say to a damaged brain, I have a lot of mental ambiguity
I recommend reading "The Bondage Breaker" by Neil Anderson. You need a truth in love encounter. Also, consider going through the steps to freedom in Christ.
Best to let go of superstition when it comes to OCD. Unclean spirits and all this stuff are stories, what's happening is you have created a pattern of thinking which is negative. You have to slowly dig/drag yourself out of it into positivity. You know this because many other people of all faiths have these same types of obsessions and compulsions and so on. It's an anxiety disorder, don't let people tell you stories!
Go get deliverance prayer done ASAP. I've had plenty of deliverance prayer done and have been delivered of bad episodes of depression and some other issues - praise Jesus! There are even deliverance prayer videos on TH-cam that you can listen to. I highly recommend Chris Lasala and Derek Prince videos.
@@kent4239 Well, either you're not a Christian at all, or you think you know better than Jesus. 🙄
Can you do a sermon on sexual performance anxiety and spectoring? I assume this might be related to perfectionism but sometimes you need a specific steps here.
🙌🏼🙌🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Perfect love casts out all fear..but love does not come separate from God. God does not send His love to us from heaven. Fear is the natural state every human is born in because in our natural birth we are born disconnected from God the source of life. This is what we have inherited from Adam.Fear comes from the presence of separation and death. Depending on how we are nurtured (or not) is how great Fear is manifested in our life. But we all have fear because the presence of God is missing. Love is the presence of God that brings with Him every perfect gift we need. We overcome fear by allowing more of the presence of God within us by focusing on the truth as revealed in His word and seeking more of His presence within us.In short having no other God before Him.It's the only way we can give up on being our own god (self). The presence of God is not an abstract thing as many of us have been taught. It is a living reality
How do seek more of his presence within us?
I have the first edition of I will not fear. Is it necessary to get the second edition?
hey, Mark! i think it would be awesome if you did a video on Romans 14:23 and OCD. i personally struggle with this because i doubt everything. i’m afraid everything i do with doubt is a sin…
While I certainly love to address specific passages of Scripture, I would recommend my series on the Bible and Mental Health, where I talk about how to approach the Bible. Check out the series on Mental Health.
@@marktdejesus okay, thanks Mark!
also, what order would you recommend reading your books in for my OCD and fear of God?
Mark, do you have the overcoming fear on audio? With the adhd/add stuff. I cannot read a book for nothing
Can u help in religious ocd
Is it common trait for people with OCD to tear up papers and break pencils get frustrated?
Mark will you please address the Fear God scriptures as this comes to my mind just listening to this and it's blocking receiving All of this as it's causing confusing about who He Really is. Thank you!!!
It says proverbs 3:4-8 it says fearing God is shunning evil
It is important that scripture interpret scripture.
Deuteronomy 6:13 says ‘ fear the Lord your God and Serve him only’
But Luke 4:8 when Jesus replied to the Devil during the temptation that ‘ worship the Lord your God only and serve him only’
Here Jesus interprets the fear of the God means worshiping and not to be scared of him.
How can you love your father in heaven if you are scared of Him. It’s the lie from the devil.
God loves you unconditionally which means you do right or wrong he will still love you with an everlasting love. Believing in his love for you will empower you to live above every defeat.
@@gdnbastia Thank you! I think its the church's teaching of hell that steals the truth. Soo many pastors, friends etc believe in it and are ok with a loving god who will torture endlessly for not ...
@u t. Yes true. I would suggest you start listening to Joseph Prince. Listening to him has unveiled God’s love in my life. God bless you.
I found this interesting as it deals with obiedience of the heart . Joseph says everyone is rightous because of christ. th-cam.com/video/VM8Unn9rvm0/w-d-xo.html
The love of the Father tells you who u are... Check mate enemy... Halleluyah..No to that lie .No to that lie and so on....
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. - John 3:16 from the Bible 💕💕
Im confused about how fear is related to OCD, because I mostly feel disgust. I have heard many testimonies and people relate OCD to fear, but I feel more disgust than fear. For example when I see someone spit, I am so disgusted that for sure my shoes feel contaminated. The door knob, knowing people scratch something and then touched it, it just disgusting to me, so I don’t know how to relate to the idea of fear. Please comment the help me understand. Thank you in advance.
See if this helps:
May be you are trying to project an internal disgust feeling onto external things like spit, contaminated knob etc.
That internal disgust may actually be about some aspect of you that you feel shameful about. Maybe someone in your childhood shamed you for being someway or doing something. They may have expressed disgust over what they perceived as a shameful, imperfect aspect of your being.
That disapproval of your caregivers, or adults in your childhood could have been registered in your sub conscious as a threat to your survival/existence/nurturing/safety.
So may be.. you fear those shameful - disgusting aspects and try to fight them, solve them metaphorically.
Since your mind has forgotten the actual event, but the threat and response cycle is not complete, your mind constantly projects that 'threat' onto external disgusts and then the compulsion actions try to get control over the threat.
If you look within and see, process and let go of internal disgust/disapproval of imperfections/shame/guilt, you might get over your OCD.
I’ll look into that. Thank you 🙏
Are all of the rest of your videos from now on going to always be about OCD?
I do most of my work in series format. Right now I am working on the subject of mental health and also a special series on ocd. Feel free to send in any topics you'd like to hear about. mark@markdejesus.com
Thank you for the OCD videos they are so helpful
It is brain problem, it is inflamed brain, the problem is in the gut, change the food change the brain❤
You're right. It's at least half the battle.
Change the food how?
@@jesusis-coming-soon2328 the food that People consume, that is toxic, ect!
@@stellaancimer8505 what diet would you recommend? Anything to cut out other than sugar and processed foods?
Just eat smarter is all. Stay away from processed pre-packaged and fast foods. Eating more of home cooked well-balanced wholesome diet. Cut back on carbs and sugars. Etc... And take a good probiotic.
Sir, pls send me your email id..iam struggle lot of ocd..I need your help
