I have never heard a Christian who could put Christianity in such real terms without condemnation. I know I am broken and I just need to know God's love and understand my brokenness. I need to understand how to break the cycle. I need to be reminded that God still loves me.
Amen! I am broken too - been limping all my life, and now I understand the problem is deeper. I need Jesus desperately. This world is too much for me! 🙏
I really feel your pain and I pray you find peace in Christ. I'm also on a journey to finding true healing in my life and the world has been too much for me too. I pray you get healed in Jesus name.
Thank you for representing God’s heart toward us…today i felt guilty of how i’ve acted and went into the “panic quick fix” i needed this. Thank God for His timing❤🙌🏾
20:27 so great teaching about repentance. turning from wrong way of thinking to mindset of i am accepted,i'm approved. grace is here.. I have access to God. Jesus bought price of me.. It brings me to affective repentance..
Yes yes yes. I mean I've been doing the left side of that board for years. Jumping right away for me to feel better. Running to the pastor or calling a friend in the faith. Me me me. I can't stand me like this anymore. I got to get to the root of the matter. Not having worldly sorry but Godly sorry. There is a big difference. So I thank you for this video. All glory to our King Jesus of Nazareth!!
He can break the chains, who is stronger? The enemies tactics or the power of the blood of Jesus? I know this may seem somewhat obvious but we need to fight the good fight of faith not through performance but by drawing near to Him. These are testing times but they were also being tested in the time scripture was being written. But nothing we have been tempted to do is different to what is common to man since the beginning of the downfall which was caused by sin. 1 Corinthians 10:13 13 “No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.” God is love. He is good. He will always be. He never changes. Seasons change but He remains the same. Love to you and peace sister in Christ, God loved you and all off us so much He sent His Son to give us eternal life. But also an abundant life, this does not mean we won’t face challenges and suffering because this world is broken and it is not our home. But His Word says He has overcome this world and the darkness and death has no sting! He is walking with you and carrying you when you can’t walk anymore, He loves you deeply and wants to have an intimate relationship not a performancey religious relationship. He says in Word to come to Him all who are weary and heavy laden and He will give them rest for their souls. That if we take upon His yoke he will teach us and we will be able by His grace to walk in His ways as His burden is light and easy to carry✝️🤍
This has helped me a lot. I suffer from OCD and guilt based on sin. I thought that if I sinned God would punish me but now I am beginning to understand he loves me.
The moment we wrap our minds and heart around the fact there is no longer a sin issue, because that is what Jesus accomplished on the cross and His resurrection defeated sin and death, we will be free. We are no longer under a covenant agreement. Jesus handled that for us. It is all about relationship now. You either have one or you don't.
Thank you Mark! For everything you do and for this talk. I've turned 50 today and have been struggling with ocd/scrupulosity and bdd for most of my life. I have been listening to you and have been gaining a deeper understanding of God our Father, our Lord Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. Thank you again for this reminder of slowing down and accepting God's abounding love for me and for us. May God bless you and your family and I hope to meet you someday soon! Your brother from another mother, Anthony. 😊🙏🏼✝️
Man, I've been in this continuous cycle of intrusive blasphemous thoughts and trying to fight against them since sometime in February, and it gets better for a while and then just gets worse, and just today it felt like a gut-punch when I attempted to speak in my head, some phrase to the effect of, "May the Holy Spirit fight against the devil," but instead, the second half of that sentence, to my great shame, got hijacked and replaced with the suggestion of a carnal act with the devil. The mere notion of it disturbed me greatly (not to mention typing it out again, thereby reliving it) and has me reeling over whether I have committed the unforgiveable sin. I'm in counseling, but up until a couple days ago, and especially earlier this evening, I thought things were going okay as far as the intrusive thoughts. I wish I could find a way to end this vicious cycle.
I’ve had the same thing happen to me since January, I had intrusive thoughts about the faith and it’s been going on ever since. The thoughts for me have been about the unpardonable sin, being this bad person in the future, leaving the Lord, and even praying to the devil, it’s terrible. Christ has brought me through and kept me throughout everything, and I know He always will. He will absolutely never leave you or forsake you, and His promises hold true. The more you seek Him, the more you find that He is always there. I’m trying to seek Him continually to get set free from this as well. I hope things turn around for you! Keep seeking Him.
I really appreciate you teaching this series on toxic guilt. It is hard to believe that everything isn't my fault and that I'm not responsible for everything all of the time. I have been struggling with this for most of my life as a Christian, so much so lately that I feel engulfed and crushed beneath the weight of it. Thank you. ❤️
Lamentations 3:22-23 Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed, Because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness.
The good news is that I think this is the biggest issue I have. Yes it is all consuming at times, but a year ago there was so so so much more and it all felt random. A root of rejection and not having a parent that was ever NOT picking me apart religiously, has lead to this. This is a little trio O misery. Religious judgment, rejection, shame/guilt. I'm hopeful because God has lead me to healing this. Thank you Jesus! I know it is his love and kindness that wants me to feel joy.
Thank you Mark for another empowering and encouraging video. I listened to this very carefully, and rewinded a few times to fully grasp the message. I wish there were more teachers like you in the Church body with your knowledge and wisdom. 🙏🏼💜
Can you do a video on how Christian’s are over spiritual. I struggle with being over spiritual and definitely notice it in other Christian’s and it is not pretty and very toxic
Thanks for sharing your feedback. Do you mean how Christian can sometimes over emphasis on certain points or theories or do you mean they get over interested in religious meetings? Be blessed
Wow!! Thank you Jesus for the great heart-warming teaching thru Mark!!!! I so so needed that in my journey of healing and transformation!!!! Christian meaning: to be like Christ in heart, soul, and mind. This teaching presents that fully! Thank you, great blessings to you!
Literally going through this right now. I was not to long ago praying and ik he sent this video. My heart is so sin deepened n I need Jesus I want him so bad I don’t wanna hurt him nomore. I need you Holy Spirit pls save me change my thinking change my heart Dad pls 😢
This is such a great video! It perfectly captures my OCD cycle and why I feel the way I do. This will be replayed everytime I see myself beginning to spin. Thank you so much for taking the time to really dig into this cycle.
I have been struggling with guilt over divorce and remarriage, it has me panicked that I won’t be forgiven as I’m committing adultery. I have begged for forgiveness.
Sirrrr, this is such an amazing video! So insightful and timely! I was actually going to suggest a video on how us believers should address sin. Thank you so much for sharing! 🙏🏾✨
Thank you for the work you are doing. This is the first video of yours Ive found. I here the term guilt cycle and wanted to know more. As I'm new on this path with God and am struggling with alcohol I did 50 days and then fell and am now reorganizing my thoughts but I need a good clear explanation of the way out so thank you God bless
Mark, Thank You so much this video really helps out a lot with my faith. I feel as though no one else talks about this except you! Thank You for your work,God Bless You
I've been struggling with self-righteousness/legalism, pornography, masturbation, and OCD obsession. I've been feeling toxic guilt and leetting thus cause me to feel like a reprobate and like God doesnt want me and it has been telling me I was never truly saved in thw first place. I need help!
Cry out to God for mercy when distressed as its Gods loving hand/ heart to the underserving. It instantly changes everything its a gift of Gods love from his ❤. It brings results. 😂
Love it when you do these focused teachings. Sometimes the Live sessions are too overwhelming for me because they are more lighthearted and freeform, they make me anxious, plus the live chat sometimes veers into a popularity contest ●■●■●■●
This is such an amazing video something I have been struggling with for 20 years despite a lot of education knowledge about the Bible and Christianity I struggle with shame. I have tried therapy church and even “Christian counseling” but that shame is there Ben for stuff that decades old. What would be a good place to start with this and is there coaching platforms available with Mark?
Do you have a video regarding Hebrews 12 and Discipline? I haves sinned countless times and I have not experienced any discipline from God unless you count guilt as disciplining.
This was well constructed worded and thought out. Godbless you in Jesus name🙏. Do you have any book recommendations on how i can learn this type of thinking so i can make this applicable to my life as well as others.
I tell God I've been in flight or fight mode for decades and I want out now. He doesn't seem to concerned. 2ndly where is the holy spirit in all of this
Hi, I have a question. When I see videos of other believers saying we need to be fasting and get up early going to bed late doing all this to be “in tune with the spirit” but here I am just trying to keep my head above water. I have trauma from not properly fasting and am so scared to ever do it again and feel like if I don’t do those things then I’m behind and will miss out on what the Spirit saying ? Also whenever people say that we need to “prepare” and be “in tune” it makes me anxious because it makes me feel like something bad is happening and don’t know what to do. Makes me go back to my end time fear that I am currently working on being healed from. Which for so long had fooled me into not thinking I had hope or a future. So it’s all very triggering and don’t know if I’m being a lazy Christian/ ignorant or if they’re doing the most lol Please respond on a video. I
To alleviate your worries, I want to assure you that the enemy uses certain people to bring you back under the law and back into bondage. We definitely should get closer to theord but God is not seating in heaven and taking note of all your sins. You no longer have a sin issue once you trust in the atoning blood of Christ. All that is left is to have a relationship with him by trusting in Jesus. This puts you in right standing with him always. God wants to lavish his love on you so you can love him, yourself and others sincerely without all the performances. Hope this helps
Toxic guilt does not belong to the victim ever. It belongs to the perpetrators period. Idk if u have already but you must define TOXIC GUILT. It is guilt that a victim carries inappropriately. The victim has to understand WHERE TOXIC GUILT COMES FROM. If the guilt is legitimate from what you have actually done something wrong then that is not toxic it is legitimate guilt and then u must repent and pray about it.
There is at least one really toxic teacher on TH-cam when it comes to this teaching, but I think this is something we all struggle with. I've even heard some teachers on here (not a Christian teacher) condemn forgiving others because he felt it was too much of a controlling element from patriarchal religions and a way to further control victims. I'd say that's extreme but that is what some people are being exposed to! Goes against the most basic Christian teachings and some people build their lives on that, sad!
We share a last name. I took that as a sign when I clicked that I should watch this video through. I think it has helped me Immensely, thank you mark 😣🥹
This is one of the best teachings I've seen on guilt and shame. This needs to be seen by so many more Christians! Thank you so much!
This was incredible! Well
Done
you brought me to this amazing teaching, as a Minister of The Gospel, I am beyond grateful!
Wow, didn't think youd be here KD but yes. Well done indeed
I never ever heard a message or sermon like this EVER 😮
I have never heard a Christian who could put Christianity in such real terms without condemnation. I know I am broken and I just need to know God's love and understand my brokenness. I need to understand how to break the cycle. I need to be reminded that God still loves me.

Same here 😢
Thank you for representing God’s heart toward us…today i felt guilty of how i’ve acted and went into the “panic quick fix” i needed this. Thank God for His timing❤🙌🏾
GOD IS ALWAYS PERFECT in His timing!!! Praying for you gorgeous sister! You are worth it! XOOX
For real. Most people teach on the legalistic part and not the compassion part of God. God IS love. ❤
Can you please elaborate what action and panic quick fix?
I think I'm having the same problem so
Your teachings have been life changing for me.
I feel like I can see truth for the first time.
I can’t thank you enough.
I’ve been set free!
20:27 so great teaching about repentance. turning from wrong way of thinking to mindset of i am accepted,i'm approved. grace is here.. I have access to God. Jesus bought price of me.. It brings me to affective repentance..

It’s impossible to get free in condemnation. Performance mentality causes me to hate God and run back to sin to feel better.
@@tatianainchrist nothing is impossible with God

We think our will is still bound. We must realize we are free and can say no now. No longer controlled by our flesh.
This has helped me a lot. I suffer from OCD and guilt based on sin. I thought that if I sinned God would punish me but now I am beginning to understand he loves me.
@@Mrdorf14 I’m with you brother praying for you
@@ItsThatBrownKid0147 thank you brother, I appreciate the love and I pray for you as well.

We are no longer under a covenant agreement. Jesus handled that for us. It is all about relationship now. You either have one or you don't.
What about Hebrews 12 where it says God will discipline his children?
Dear Mark, once again a clear, fruitful and helpful lecture! Thanks so much!
We are lucky to have you as a teacher!! God bless you brother! ❤️
