Finally got freed from the religious ocd part as I understood God’s grace and that in Christ we are clothed in His righteousness and perfectly secure in Him.
@@Nightwalker25-m3u rest in Jesus Christ’s once and for all finished work on the cross through his death burial and resurrection for you. There’s nothing we can add to what he has accomplished for us. In Him we are eternally secure and God does not lie to us. 1 Corinthians 15:3-4 “For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance[a]: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures” John 6:47 “I tell you the truth, anyone who believes has eternal life.”
Crying through this whole video because all these points hit home and I can’t seem to get past them. It feels good to feel understood but I just wish I could resolve all these things and have a fear free relationship with God that is only love. Lordwilling I’ll make it there one day or maybe He will take me home and I will know His love with nothing separating. I long for that so much
My biggest fear is losing interest in Christ due to OCD. No matter how much I try, i just can't get assurance of salvation, and I always feel like a fraud. But, if recovery is possible, I shouldn't give up.
Don't you give up! I'm beginning to step out of the other side of that tunnel. There is a reason for your suffering. God loves you and will use this experience so that you may help others experience freedom, even if it seems implausible at the moment. Just put one foot in front of the other and take your next breath if that is all you're currently capable of achieving- one day at a time.
@@dustytrout5 after looking back, i think this is quite uncesseary, apparently OCD will tell you everything is a matter of losing your faith, and you will feel like you are leaving it, best thing to do is ignore your OCD thoughts
I used to absolutely hate myself. Like it was very bad. I no longer feel that way. I just struggle to love myself in the way God loves me. I struggle to recieve the full amount He has for me. Its as though im being drip-fed but not bc He drip-feeds but bc my mind has all these hurdles, its like a dam with cracks and the dam needs to be broken. God has brought me so far in my healing I know in my heart that through Jesus Christ and His Spirit I can show the love, grace and patience towards others but I struggle to extend it to myself. I get so easily frustrated with myself and Im harder on myself than the God of the universe is, than Jesus is. And if He isnt this hard on me who am I to be so hard on myself? I dont hold myself higher than Him in anyway so its like why do I get so impatient with myself. I struggle also with the black and white thinking patterns that ocd produces, and how my mind tends to come to false conclusions based on temporary circumstances. I know I cant earn or perform for His Love and Grace but my mind is trying to latch onto a performance way of thinking and it's a everyday battle to shut it down. Jesus bought and paid for the Grace it has nothing to do with me. My temporary circumstances have no standing in my position in the body of Christ. I know this, I understand this, and I believe this, my issue is struggling Resting in it. Im very slowly 🐌 but surely coming to the understanding that its ok to give myself the permission to learn and grow even if its slow. We cant water a seed and it becomes a full bloomed flower the next day. It has to be nurtured and given the time to grow and thats what my Heavenly Father is doing. Im slowly coming to realizing that my Christian Walk with Jesus Christ is MY Walk. Every Christian has different rates of growth and the walk is different for everyone and thats OK. Thank you brother Mark for your teachings God Bless you. I even found you on Spotify so I dont always have to use TH-cam. Its comforting to be reminded that Im not alone in this Journey through ocd. ❤
I just found you and it sure took a long time. I know that this might finally be the end of a very long journey. My son Andrew is 34 and has become emotionally frozen, incapacitated, and filled with constant fear from his intrusive OCD. Nothing has really worked. Thankfully, God has come to the rescue through your ministry. As Andrew’s father I feel so defeated by the lies of his OCD mind even though we try daily to show him a way out. My poor toolkit is filled with barely effective medicines, ineffective talk therapies, and frustrated social workers and doctors. As a Christian, I have always known that there is a huge spiritual factor in all this…starting with our son’s lack of self acceptance and inability to accept love from his parents and from God. The lessons here are the start of a hopeful journey out of the dark pit from the thoughts of OCD. God bless your ministry.
Mam I found the cure and this is not ocd or mental illness. If you download the book on TH-cam called Pilgrims Progress around 2 hours into the book its there and you will understand it.
Wondering how you and your son are getting on 7 months later? My 30 year old son was diagnosed with OCD yesterday. For one full year he has been completely overtaken by ocd/scrupulosity. At first I didn't have a clue what was going on with him until I found scrupulosity.
Wow 100% on all 10 for me. Plus I live in fear of the parable of the talents. Strive nonstop but dread being likened unto the wicked unprofitable servant. God led me to your channel last night after He probably became weary of my constant fretting and asking Him why I cannot feel His love. I'm 58 and have gone through this since becoming a Christian at age 6.
He led you because He loves you and wants to help you. Rely ONLY on God. Allow yourself to feel the emotions ocd brings you but don’t let it control you understand how God would see it. Jesus covered you. You’re okay. You sinning will not loose your salvation. Jesus knows you’re not perfect, you’ll make mistakes, you’ll mess up, He was a human too He understands He sympathizes with you. When He died He gave us HIS righteousness and He TOOK our SIN/DIRTYNESS FROM US. Roles reversed. When God sees you, He sees Himself. The Holy Spirit living in YOU YOU sealed your salvation. Jesus even said I desire mercy to show mercy not sacrifice or performance. Rely on God and allow Him allow Him to help you. Trusting God more than the fears of your ocd brings in His peace, inner healing, and love. Take it from me who also struggles with ocd 🩷
God never grows weary of us! Humans, maybe even parents or those closest to us, have finite patient. But God is Infinite! He loves us perfectly, in all the ways those who have failed us did not. Do not fear!
Mark!!! You’ve poured into my life in such an overwhelming space… 3 years ago I found your page and I’m incredibly grateful for your obedience to Jesus !!! Love you brother !
This is really good. I'm soo glad you make these types of videos. Unfortunately I have had a scrupulous childhood and it's lached unto me. I hope I can continue to heal and get more freedom from this scrupulous trap. I've talked to 4 people that have Scrupulousity and now they just left from social media. It's a devastating thing to have Scrupulousity.
TH-cam helped me find you and I give God thanks. I will be listening to your youtubes during housework and such. BUT IT IS NICE TO SEE A VIDEO ABOUT THIS!! I suffered for years thinking I was going to hell because of religious OCD. But as I grew in my faith and stand on "nothing shall separate us" scripture I had more peace. Then I found out that this is a type of OCD. And I learned to talk to the thought allowing it to ve there if it wanted but don't feel bad I'm not paying attention to you anymore. (Did this for night terrors and anxiety attacks too).It went away and there are times it. Sneaks back in but I continue this way. I DO NO ALLOW MYSELF TO ASK GOD FOR FORGUVENESS OVER AND OVER. I DONT OK PRAY AFTER THE INTRUSIVE THOUGHT BECAUSE IT REINFORCES THE FALSE BELIEVE THAT I AM SINNING AND HAVE BAD INTENT.
I felt God was leading me to this video, I do see your content alot and its cool. But I was praying to God in walmart to help me with these intrusive thoughts. Then later on today as I got home I thought I had heard as soon as I prayed "Watch the new Mark Dejesus video." And I was like ok, and so I set this into my history ran around for a bit then I sat down on ze picnic chair. And boom, exactly what I was struggling with. I was putting this off before but it became clear as Day im not alone in my intrusive thoughts journey, I never was but I just needed a little reminder from God to let him fight my battles. I struggle with mad lib pop up thoughts and it tries to replace I love/worship God with anything else and then immediatly I ask for forgiveness and bowing down. Or sometimes its the opisite and I think I dont worship and then I try to think abour something else but my brain regretably says (you know what I mean I cant bring myself to type it because I know it’s not true and it breaks my heart.) And I try not to say the lords name in vain my head. But my brain trys to stier me into that direction like a auto pilot car driving off a cliff, half of the time I succead and think Darn or Gosh or dog or Dang, but sometimes my brain slips up and ill acidently say the d word after gosh or and I hate to say this I say his name and then I say dang and I feel so so so so so sad afterwards. I try to stier it to God is good and it helps. I know the world is not perfect and I can’t bleep the whole world but I don't want to worry about my thoughts all the time. And I go to God always when I have a problem, a blessing, or I just wanna talk to him bc he is that awesome and cant compair with anything else. And my family and friends have told me I dont struggle with idolization. Even though I am passionate with everything I do. Its only because of GOD that that i get to do the things I do, with who he made me to be, and how I live. I almost always give him a hug while praying (im hugging myself but Im huging him too.) and He brings me so much comfort and joy. As well as many challanging but devalopmental journeys to strenthen my faith. I love him very much. I'm not my thoughts, and God will work with me through this. I just gotta give him my battles.
I love watching your videos and it has helped my journey and faith tremendously. However, I have been obsessing over, I believe Mathew 7:21-23 where he tells certain believers to depart from him that he never knew them. My mind has been obsessing over is my relationship good enough with God or even how to develop a stronger relationship with God or even what it means to have a true deep meaningful relationship with God. Any advice on this Mark?
I'm not sure if th8s is ocd. I asked Jesus to save me years ago. From there I kept asking to be saved..I lacked assurance and went away from God. A year ago I started going back to church seeking and asking again to be saved but its been a year of torment, lack of faith, assurance and trust. I accepted this was ocd as I have other ocd traits ut last eve I heard a sermon ..the pastor was demonstrating a person who keeps asking,begging to be saved with a dollar bill being offered resembling salvation to a person but a person not taking the dollar (hundred dollar bill) by faith and carrying on begging earnestly to be saved , I instantly thought this is me!! He said that person isn't saved because they have dou bt and no trust...that was it..I was panicking,sweating and felt so anxious...how do you get that trust when you struggle..I want trust,faith everything but it torments me that I havent got the trust that is needed and I'm never going to get it..its a torment ..❤😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Someone went through these verses with me when I was struggling with consistently "asking Jesus into my heart/to save me." In Revelation 3:20 the Lord says, "Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me.” It sounds like you've done this many times - there's no doubting you've heard the Great Shepherd's voice. When the Lord comes into your life, what does He PROMISE to do? In Hebrews 13:5 we're reminded that "... He Himself has said, 'I will never desert you, nor will I ever forsake you." Since the Lord doesn't lie, surely we can agree that if He says He will come in and will never leave, He's going to do just that. In 1 John 5:11-13 it says, “And the testimony is this, that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has the life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have the life. These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life.” I'm convinced you have the Son, and that's true if you've accepted and believed in Him. John writes "know" that you have eternal life. Not "think" or "hope," but know. It's not the Lord's desire that we be fretful over if we're saved our not. To take Him simply at His Word rather than fighting these "feelings" of "oh no! Am I saved?" Along with this set of verses, a few that have been helpful to me is Jeremiah 31:3, John 1:12, and Romans 8:15 (really all of Romans 8 is TERRIFIC for settling into one's identity in Christ Jesus). Jesus terrifically loves you and wants to share that with you so much. Don't let your feelings distract you (easier said that done), but let the Lord hear your feelings. He'll be faithful to you.
I have a saying on my fridge, that says, Jesus is with us in our failed faith, and Jesus talks about mustard seed faith,you have faith!! Don't worry about faith, you have it,we only need the size of a mustard seed, I used to be tormented too, that I don't have faith, it's a lie. I read of a vision that a man had,the devil was trying to take him, but Jesus said,you can't have him,he has mustard seed faith,that's so encouraging!!
I always cry during watching a video, because just I always say myself, man, you has god a big true and you hit my heart. You are the only one person, who was able to express my feelings so aptly. Thanks!
Do you know what is the most cruel thing in having a pure OCD? Is the fact that it always leads us to the point where Heavenly Father is getting to look like a tyrant in our eyes. We are aware that isn't true, but more than that, we treat him and serve behind him with fear and anxiety and feel like, if we weren't doing something in a pattern we're used to, then something bad happened
Hey Mark, I love the video's topic and will surely continue to watch and apply this to my life. I do have a quick request. Do you have any helpful tips for a "scruper" struggling with productivity? (Maybe you could make this into a video?👀)
Why are we doing this at all? What's the point to conquering all this? Why do some people have these problems and others do not? I'm losing the desire to even try.
Hey Mr Mark. I hsve a question for you. Do you think having religious ocd etc can impact your love life? Im 33 never dated never anything with a man besides being friends.
Hi mark , I’m having a hard time on a subject. This resorts to the story of the laborers in the vineyard. How is that someone can sin there entire life then repent and be saved. Opposed to someone who lived by the word most of there life? I’m having a hard time expecting that the one who sinned the most has the same seniority as the one who didn’t.
I understand that, but the point I’m trying to make is if someone send most of their life, they can repent and rebuke and be saved the person who didn’t send live by the word put the hard work still categorized as the same
@@Concretegod18that’s what Jesus is saying tho. It’s his love and grace we’ll never understand but if it’s sufficient enough through him. By all means we accept it. I’m suffering rn but I hope Jesus has grace and mercy upon me regardless of the evil thoughts
@@Concretegod18actually The Bible says that GOD Chastens the ones that He loves and scourges every son whom He receives. Which means that He will spiritually correct us like punish us but NOT send us to hell. Because once saved always saved. Once a child of GOD always a child of GOD. GOD will deal with His children accordingly. Like a Good Father would. Once you stop believing in yourself to " save " you and you start believing that Jesus Christ Alone is The Only one to Save you you will know The Truth and The Truth will set you Free. The Only Way to Heaven is by believing Alone in Jesus Christ His death burial Resurrection paid for all of your sins past present future. That's just simply Trust and believe that Jesus Christ alone paid for all your sins by His death burial Resurrection.
Finally got freed from the religious ocd part as I understood God’s grace and that in Christ we are clothed in His righteousness and perfectly secure in Him.
I'm in big bad ocd religious ocd. I really want out of of it.

Do you know what is the most cruel thing in having a pure OCD? Is the fact that it always leads us to the point where Heavenly Father is getting to look like a tyrant in our eyes. We are aware that isn't true, but more than that, we treat him and serve behind him with fear and anxiety and feel like, if we weren't doing something in a pattern we're used to, then something bad happened
Number 5 for sure! Thanks Mark
Hey Mark, I love the video's topic and will surely continue to watch and apply this to my life. I do have a quick request. Do you have any helpful tips for a "scruper" struggling with productivity? (Maybe you could make this into a video?👀)
AMEN Mark
I found the answer that you are looking for. In the book called Pilgrims Progress. And the complete cure...
Why are we doing this at all? What's the point to conquering all this? Why do some people have these problems and others do not? I'm losing the desire to even try.
ALL OF THEM 😣
OCD obviously can definitely do this
No its not ocd
Hey Mr Mark. I hsve a question for you. Do you think having religious ocd etc can impact your love life? Im 33 never dated never anything with a man besides being friends.
Hi mark , I’m having a hard time on a subject. This resorts to the story of the laborers in the vineyard. How is that someone can sin there entire life then repent and be saved.
Opposed to someone who lived by the word most of there life? I’m having a hard time expecting that the one who sinned the most has the same seniority as the one who didn’t.
It's cuz,by grace you are saved
I understand that, but the point I’m trying to make is if someone send most of their life, they can repent and rebuke and be saved the person who didn’t send live by the word put the hard work still categorized as the same
@@Concretegod18that’s what Jesus is saying tho. It’s his love and grace we’ll never understand but if it’s sufficient enough through him. By all means we accept it. I’m suffering rn but I hope Jesus has grace and mercy upon me regardless of the evil thoughts
@@Concretegod18actually The Bible says that GOD Chastens the ones that He loves and scourges every son whom He receives.
Which means that He will spiritually correct us like punish us
but NOT send us to hell.
Because once saved always saved.
Once a child of GOD always a child of GOD.
GOD will deal with His children accordingly. Like a Good Father would.
Once you stop believing in yourself to " save " you
and you start believing that Jesus Christ Alone is The Only one to Save you
you will know The Truth and The Truth will set you Free.
The Only Way to Heaven is by believing Alone in Jesus Christ His death burial Resurrection paid for all of your sins
past present future.
That's just simply Trust and believe that Jesus Christ alone paid for all your sins by His death burial Resurrection.
Hello
Do you have any videos on suicidal thoughts?
Hey my friend. Is everything okay? I'm here for you
Doing what is right has gone haywire, salvation and standing with God distortion.
