Since I’ve recommitted my life to the Savior it’s been NON STOP condemnation, the EXACT thing I felt when I was in a cultish HIGHLY legalistic church. I was talking Christ at work, people were listening etc and BOOM, the condemnation literally wakes me up and never leaves
I am so sorry to hear. It is the enemy. He is threatened by you and your love for people. As the saying goes, ‘when Satan reminds you of your past, remind him of his future’! Hang in there man of God, remember who you are in Christ!
Do you wake up covered in sweat with death looming over you? I was in a legalistic culture too. Church homeschooling group and basically my life.. You probably have trouble eating too. That crap keeps creeping up and Jesus has to throw it out of my mind. Romans 6 7 and 8. I work for the government and everyone knows I am a Christian now. Problem is I have so much depression I doubt they want to replicate my life. I had a demon experience 5 months ago too. Levitation, gravel sounding voices and terrible dreams. Just keep keep reminding Satan his time is short and your time is eternal safety in Jesus
@@rachellydy3367Hi! Can I talk to you about religious OCD? I feel like im dealing with it and it's causing me to backslide away from God. I'll try to elaborate. I feel like everything I'm doing is a sin. Some "sins" that pop up in my mind are, wearing a cross necklace, braids, makeup, nails/nail polish, jewlery, celebrating holidays/my birthday (paganism), and not spreading the Gospel to the best of my ability. These thoughts pop up out of nowhere. I get this strong urge to look up the "sin" but there's a voice in my mind always telling me, "Don't do it, don't do it." But I give in and do it anyways. This has caused me to have panic attacks and get extremely overwhelmed to the point where I start crying. I just want to feel mentally at peace.
Salvation is not just a fact but also an ongoing process during which God points to our shortcomings. Dealing with them biblically (receiving His life in you, relying on His strength) will allow one not be condemned with the world at the final judgment. The law that condemns us in our sinful condition is a good thing (Rom.7:12,13). It is necessary to help us see where we stand. It is also good as it points to the One who can become our righteousness. I don't mean just head knowledge but experiencing the power of the Holy Spirit that restrains the sinful desires and also gives a new heart and mind not interested in sin. Accepting solutions, taking practical steps to deal with sins (one at a time) frees from condemnation. Christianity needs to be nothing but practice.
God does not condemn you for having the problem (sin) but you will be eventually condemned if you reject His solution for your problem (i.e.taking practical steps in overcoming sin by the power of the Spirit of God, Rom.6:1-11; 8:13).

Mark DeJesus Just finished Exposing the Rejection Mindset audiobook, taking some waypoint notes on the kindle version when the audio had supernatural illumination in my story. Definitely going to take multiple passes to absorb with the depth your work merits. It always puzzled me that Derek Prince and Francis MacNutt, in their own families, never had a son who would take their lifetime of developmental work (respectively) to the next level - the thought which has come discovering your work is (knowing you already recognize pride as a waterslide to the abyss) . . . you seem to be carrying their torch in ways which would fill them with overflowing affection & honor from above, as if you were indeed a son in this lineage. I can kinda see the Archangel Michael lightly laughing when saying that, indicating he saw that a *long time* ago. : )
Hey man, this video is amazing. Today I was struggling SOO much with condemnation to the point where I just wanted to sleep all day because I didn’t want to face having to speak to God. The problem with this was the fact that there was nothing HUGE that I did , it’s not like I sinned against God in a way that would put me in a situation of feeling condemned. And before this I had dreams that were of things I used to do that were in sin and it felt like it was still part of my identity today when I woke up. Condemnation is DEATH there is no other way of describing it. It really does feel like DEATH.
Maybe try listening to "blessings" spoke over and over. Peace be unto you, I call you the head and not the tail, above and not beneath and highly favored of the LORD!
Performance driven has almost driven me insane. I have no energy and feel depleted and finished almost every day. I feel oppressed and condemned every day
The thing I struggle with is the voice that tells me I'm condemned tells me there's nothing I can do to come back to christ. That because of my once lustful lifestyle that I've sense repented of and unwanted blasphemous thoughts that I am cursed and separated from Christ. It's a terrible awful fearful feeling. I have blasphemous thoughts all day and night long that never stop. And a fearful terror and dread follows me all day. When I pray I hear a voice that tells me I have rejected you and it causes me such grief and fear. It's made me weary to live but afraid to die. I don't know if anyone else has gone thru this battle but I wouldn't wish it on anyone
Hi Jacob, Truth of the matter is many people go through this. MORE then you know, especially those that LOVE and want to please God. If you had done it the Holy Spirit wouldn't be allow you to feel convicted or remorse,. Therefore it is Satan is using accusations to destroy you and bring heavy torment. Please see someone about this talking in person to a reputable counsellor/minister helps. Defy the need to stay isolated though it hurts in the beginning. Take walks. Start declaring " even if I have done it I am forgiven, THEREFORE IS NOW NO CONDEMNATION to those who are in Christ Jesus" (Romans 1:17) Those thoughts have become a stronghold but purposely defying the negative arrows will allow Jesus to speak to you through the enemy's noise. Trust me the Devil has nothing on you, he has been a liar from the beginning! x
Guys have Faith. I felt like this too. I would come home and cry uncontrollably. I had a fear of the Lord that was Unhealthy. The enemy tried to convince me that the Lord wouldn’t take me back. But I got help from my church and my family. We were able to discern that this was at the demonic attack. A seed that the enemy planted in my mind. We cried out to the Lord and he stabilized me. He exposed the lie. Although the enemy still tries to attack, I know that the Lord is with me and that eventually we will all have victory.
Accusation is not one of the devils tools. It is not the Frontline work. It is HIS ONLY tool. It is the complete function of his army of demons. People say that the devil can both tempt you and accuse you. It has to be one or the other - it is accusation. Christ gives us free righteousness and the devil seeks to make us feel unjustified. This the pivotal understanding of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

My entire life i have beem striving to earn his grace. & trying to earn his grace thru works.. I was raised Catholic & i never knew " Ephesians 2:8 " ,, Just now in my later years after becoming born again am i beginning to enjoy the beauty of resting in the finished work that Christ has already achieved on the cross for us.. never had i known this feeling & this beautiful promise being a Catholic..In Catholicism we aren't worthy of grace & we are pretty much doomed for purgatory or worse... I felt no hope in religion. Thank you for this beautifully insightful video.. God Bless you & your ministry
I feel free watching this.. thankyou.. I feel condemned with like trying to look best pshycally, I mean to look clean with hair products because before I look others and they have nice clean hair but they had like maybe pomade thing to do their hair, so I want and bought those things and yes it did good but after that the pressure is bad, feel bad , not sleep well, feel condemned.. I forgot how big the Love of God for me.. condemnation make the lies to make you feel that is more big than the Fathers love and want the best for you
Thank you so so much. I truly needed this. I admire and respect not only your passion for God, but your passion for change and growth and for your subscribers. Speaks volumes about you. You should seriously consider doing a multi part series to this topic. So benefical
Mard, great stuff youre putting out. keep up :) Before I found Jesus I was an entrepreneur and im just like you said PDC. But on my healing journay. Thanks a lot
Spiritual narccissis use this spirit of condemnation against their victims. They get you to believe you are unredeemable! That God dosen't really love you and that you aren't saved! It's all a lie from the enemy!
@@HartFamilyAdventures I knowingly did evil blasphemous things even after I thought I was a christian, I think God is giving me yet another chance which is why I'm repenting so much and attending church regularly for the first time. God is so good.
This video is amazing! 👐🏼🙏🏼 I have it on replay when i find myself going thru it. Today was another one of those days. 😰 This video replenishes & refreshes my hope & gives my faith a boost. Praise Jesus!!
I know you posted this a little over a year ago, Mark, but this seems to be helping. I've always been obsessive about my unwanted thoughts, as far back as I can recall, and then over sin after committing my life to Christ. A severely and chronically guilty conscience. After I gave my life to Christ (a loooOOOooong time ago) I stayed the course for about 3 years, but then began to slowly drift into gross sin. I allowed myself to be deceived into seeking my own glory through the career I had at the time (thinking I was able to be a witness in that field and justifying it that way), among other things. I would always feel terrible about having fornicated, for example, and I'd sincerely repent. I'd then fall again not long afterward. Rinse and repeat. This went on for far too long. Far too long. I did eventually sincerely repent about 6 or seven years ago, but the shame, guilt, and regret over my actions for so long a period is literally crushing me. I wonder, "how could I have done that to Him? *How* ??" Compounding the problem is the very real terror that I have gone too far and that I am beyond forgiveness. One of the fruitless branches that the Father cuts away and tosses aside, ya know? Also the warnings that Paul gives about people practicing such things as sexual immorality, drunkenness, envy, coveting, etc. Most of that I don't think I have an issue with any longer, definitely not sexual immorality or drunkenness, but always I wonder, "but what *if* I'm committing idolatry and don't know it??" or some other sin. "I got irritated on the freeway and sat on the horn! Oh no! Was that an outburst of wrath?" This stuff tortures me. ha ha I laugh but it's literal agony. Like being on a torture rack for days at a time. That may sound dramatic, but it's accurate. Anyway, I feel odd putting all that here on YT for anyone in the world with an internet connection to read, but maybe it'll help someone else, too. Thank you for your videos, sir. Edited for typos.
"This stuff tortures me. haha i laugh but it's literal agony." I can relate to this comment so much, I've felt that my inner condemnation is comical in a sense because of how ridiculous it seems, especially explaining it to others! but the agony is oh so real, torment. I have progressively been making ground in this area though! the verse "Even if my heart condemns me, God is greater than my heart" 1 John 3:20 is a powerful push back against the voice of condemnation. God's gift of righteousness seems far too good to be true, this is how i think we feel, those of us who feel not good enough, and somehow end up agreeing with the enemies accusations. I have noticed a shift in me though, in choosing to listen to the words of the Good shepherd! He is for us, he will not abandon us, he will deliver us! God bless you with the peace of the father!
@@Waffnub God bless you with the peace of the Father in Christ Jesus, too! I've also just been clinging to God's word despite how I feel or regardless of these intrusive thoughts. It's like walking out seems like very thin ice, but staying back in fear isn't doable, either, huh?
Hello Mark, I deeply appreciate your videos and I’m saving some money to have private counseling with you. Your channel has been helping me so much in opening my eyes to the patterns I got caught up into since being born-again. I have a question, can OCD or scrupulosity make you guilty of things that aren’t sinful? Does guilt automatically imply that I might have done something that is not of God’s will for me and that the enemy takes this as an opportunity to condemn me? For more context I’ve been highly affected by legalistic views of godly women, and since God has sucked me out of the transgender ideology and gender dysphoria I’ve been wanting to express my femininity at last but I feel like I’m literally not allowed to, like a woman is not allowed to feel beautiful because it’s vanity and it leads to lust etc. It’s a very depressing place to be, and it forces me to believe that I should dress in a way I don’t like at all (basically like a nun, no makeup no pants no skin etc.). I’ve had moments where I was joyful wearing a necklace and some mascara and whatnot but after leaving the house I would feel debilitating guilt. If you have an insight or video to recommend I’d be really grateful... God bless you, and thank you for your work!
@@vaultofriaoh absolutely. My relationship with God has changed so much, and it keeps changing for the better. Don’t get me wrong, I got crazy battles I’m facing but I’m glad to say that this whole vanity issue is no longer an obsession. Bottom line, I am now in a place where I feel loved enough by God that I feel comfortable wearing make up and expressing myself through fashion and I trust that He accepts and loves me this way. Don’t believe your thoughts. If it’s a rule, it’s probably a lie. Sin is real but only the loving discipline of the Lord can bring clarity to these confusing, scrupulous dilemmas, in a way that brings peace and joy, and not more bondage and feeling like we’re not good enough.
Do you have any recommendations for how to deal with family members who are condemning? My mother has been very critical of me my entire life. She actually exhibits almost all of the patterns of narcissism. I can hardly have a conversation with her without her using scripture as a weapon and telling me I need to pray more. I’ve wanted to peacefully cut ties with her, but the Holy Spirit told me very clearly not to (not in a condemning way).
@@natasharose9856 it would probably make her mad most narcs are unreasonable and when you target them and tell them their wrong they will give you absolute hell for it. Complete control freaks, very demonic.
Good evening God is Sooo Good@@@thank u for letting me be here ...I just got married an my new husband has a past but family is condemned him when hes given his heart soul an life to God....please help me understand this cause I'm 41 now never been married till now I asked God to find me someone he kept his promise, I m born Christian an baptized spiritually gods shown me many visions....of what's too come...so me understanding why his family an the dark spirit doing this... Ps thank you I'm going to watch your video...but please help me understand
Hello this is relieving to know.. I just want to ask advise if you are in a home your parent always condemn you; like almost everyday. You know it kinda draining and it made me sin. It is like a hobby for her to condemn what to do? you know im considering to move out but also outside home (world) is harsh
Hi Mark. Im really going through this. For a moment i think its gone but then it comes back,if i manage to deal with it for a day ,something else comes up. Either doubting God's goodness or that He loves or even cares for me at all. Its causing me anxiety that I can hardly breathe. I spend time in church battling voices of condemnation instead of listening to sermons . It's making me to feel so dry ,i nolonger have desire to read the word.
This is awesome. I have been struggling with something that sounds stupid but is worrying to me. I feel like I am getting conviction from the Holy Spirit to throw away some earthly objects that I don’t want to throw away. By this I mean like objects. But I hear and read stuff like, “But if you have doubts about whether or not you should eat something, you are sinning if you go ahead and do it. For you are not following your convictions. If you do anything you believe is not right, you are sinning.” Romans 14:23. Is this a sign of religious OCD or do you think I’m being guided by God. Keep in mind that I feel like if I do not do so I am sinning and I will go to Hell if I don’t throw away the things I don’t want to. Yes I know the gospel is not performance based but I am feeling like God is telling me to do so.
Looking back on my journey, I had many times when I felt this driving urge that I needed to throw away objects, but I can see that it was done out of OCD and a religious performance pressure. There are times in love relationship with God, where I have felt to let go of certain things, but it was done out of love, not by a pressing guilt or obsession.
Throw the objects away dude! And don't let doubts take hold! I threw away sooo many things because they were evil! I had a $500 Morbid Angel Blasphegram ring but I threw if in the garbage where it belongs! I threw out or sold many of my evil CDs and I am attending church nowadays. I worry that I might be too late because I said blasphemous things and worshipped evil even after knowing Christ. But I've learned to be more bible based and more of a good Christian instead of a double life. Also try and change media. So much filth is on Netflix and on the radio/music industry.
Pat Phillips I agree with so much of this. I have thrown as much as my dads possessions away because he was a mason including his ashes. I know it seems extreme but I’m being tormented by demons because of family involvement in the masons
I really enjoyed this video and it has given me a new perspective on my relationship with god. However, the verse of Romans 6:22 comes to mind where it is stated “But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of god” What do you think of this? Im my study Bible it relates the word “slave” to the first-century intent of “doulos” which conveyed at least five ideas of absolute obedience, compulsory obedience, consistent obedience, exclusive obedience, and loyal obedience.
Sorry if you’ve been condemned by Christians. I’m a Christian myself for 2 years and have been hurt a lot by so called “Christian’s” who are critical and judgmental. Not all Christian’s are like that and I hope you meet some who show genuine love and grace from God like I have.
I don't see condemnation in the new testament..especially for the saved..I see warnings to believers though and consequences of sin and things like that...But if you are living Godly being obedient if you have truly repented if you accept Jesus as your lord and savior you aren't condemned man God is not gonna reject you...you aren't gonna be cast into the lake of fire even though hell is a real place...You follow and obey God you don't have to worry about spending eternity there...
Hey, I hope you notice me, i have a question; Can a man be forgiven if he sin according to his will after receiving the holy spirit and repent it because of the holy spirit conviction? I hope you answer me plz plz plz
We all sin man. Even after receiving the holy spirit. There's a constant war going on between the flesh and the spirit. Jesus said: "Pray that ye enter not into temptation. The spirit is indeed willing but the flesh is weak" Were all gonna mess up. But if Repent and do our best to leave that sin, and trust and believe in God. You will be forgiven. I'm no expert but that's my belief.
@litamactal3807 I hope you have overcome the sin with the help of the Holy Spirit. But I pray for you anyway that Jesus must bless you and help you with whatever you need. ❤️
Hi mark my name is Paul McGuinness I'm from long island NY I am on the high functioning end of the autism spectrum. And am 24 years old. I struggle so much with reading the Bible and. Putting it into practice. I feel so intimidated by scriptures like the way to heaven is narrow and the gate to hell is easy. And few enter it. As well as things like I must not love mother father more than God otherwise I'm not worthy to be a diciple. And the scriptures were Jesus says those who love me keep my commandments. I feel like alot of trying to follow God's commands in new testament are burden some
I also struggle with just picking one bible book or passage. To read on and I feel like I can't make up my mind on what to read and put into practice God has shown me so many wonderfully things. And has given me good advice . And things to work on. But I can't seem to just stick to one area. So I wander from page to page till I finally get frustrated and give up on the bible
I also find it very easy to retain wisdom and knowledge. But feel this inner powerlessness that makes me feel like I can't live it out. I need help simplifying God's will from his word as well as his will for my life
I was apart of that group the UPC, I almost lost my mind there, it’s a cult. That’s not the gospel, Acts 2:38 was specific to day of Pentecost on that particular evening, not a form of salvation.
What really helped me: Jesus Himself is our High Priest. If you read about a High Priest he has a plate of pure gold on his Forehead like the engravings of a signet: HOLY TO THE LORD. So all your thoughts and all your doings no matter what is in your mind are HOLY TO THE LORD through Jesus Christ. Let your thoughts go. They will become right and holy not of yourself but by the Holy Spirit. All holy thoughts and deeds are fruits and not pushed out
Hey, Does the Holy spirit leave a born again Christian and never come back? Plz answer me, why I cannot feel his presence, I am so depressed plz help me. I feel like the Holy spirit has departed from me + their is blaspheme thoughts in my mind,😭😭😭What should I do??! I am being bombarded by blasphemous thoughts plz help me ASAP😭😭😭
And about the blasphemous thoughts, I know exactly what you’re talking about. I’ve experienced them many of times and they’re horrible. I hate the thoughts. But what I had to realize is that God sees my heart and knows that I don’t want to be thinking these thoughts nor do I believe them. Those blasphemous thoughts you’re thinking are from the devil and not from yourself, no matter how much the devil tries and convince you that they’re your thoughts. Just the very fact you’re worried about the thoughts is showing that the thoughts are not from you. Every time you get a bad thought, just go back to God’s word and pick a scripture to say and remind yourself of God’s truth. God is not mad at you and He loves you and nothing can EVER change that. “Submit to God, resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” James 4:7

Excuse me, Mark. But this is not completely accurate. The Bibles says we've all been condemned, due to the wrong choice of Adam and Eve as they chose mistrust to God's Word which led to death not life. But by God's mercy we are all invited to come back to Him and accept His means of salvation so that we are not condemned with the world at the judgement day.
At some point it is just necessary for us to feel condemnation of the Law to be able to see where we really stand and the wrong direction we all head to and so that we desire salvation.
I think such topics might be misleading and confusing people not to pay attention to the things God is trying to point to in order they could deal with them and thus be cleansed (through practical aspect of grace).
Condemnation should not be confused with retaliation which God does not desire. But we need to see we came under the condemnation of His Law and will have to bear final consequences, i.e.condemnation if we don't accept God's solution now. God is very straight with us and fair. Seeing ourselves fallen under condemnation of the Law due to our wrong choices may actually lead to awakening and repentance.
1 John 3:20 in whatever our heart condemns us; for God is greater than our heart and knows all things: The difference between God's condemnation and satan's accusations is the latter says: "you are a sinner, you are lost. God doesn't want you and this is your dead end". But God says: "Yes, you are a sinner but come to Me. I will cleanse you. I will revive and restore you".
I have suffered from debilitating condemnation for the last 3 months and I haven't been able to read God's word (even the new testament) because it reinforces this condemnation that I've been rejected by God and this teaching is helping me cast off that voice. Thank you, Mark. I've purchased two of your Audible books now.
I pray I can continue to be an encouragement in your freedom journey.
God bless you both thank you so much for this
Me too
Many churches set us up for this by essentially teaching that God alone saves us, but then we have to sanctify ourselves.
The Bible says any tongues that judge you , you should hereby Condemn

Salvation is not just a fact but also an ongoing process during which God points to our shortcomings. Dealing with them biblically (receiving His life in you, relying on His strength) will allow one not be condemned with the world at the final judgment.
The law that condemns us in our sinful condition is a good thing (Rom.7:12,13). It is necessary to help us see where we stand.
It is also good as it points to the One who can become our righteousness.
I don't mean just head knowledge but experiencing the power of the Holy Spirit that restrains the sinful desires and also gives a new heart and mind not interested in sin.
Accepting solutions, taking practical steps to deal with sins (one at a time) frees from condemnation.
Christianity needs to be nothing but practice.
God does not condemn you for having the problem (sin) but you will be eventually condemned if you reject His solution for your problem (i.e.taking practical steps in overcoming sin by the power of the Spirit of God, Rom.6:1-11; 8:13).

Andrew Womack. The war is over. Video on you tube , look it up ,it will really help
Guys have Faith. I felt like this too. I would come home and cry uncontrollably. I had a fear of the Lord that was Unhealthy. The enemy tried to convince me that the Lord wouldn’t take me back. But I got help from my church and my family. We were able to discern that this was at the demonic attack. A seed that the enemy planted in my mind. We cried out to the Lord and he stabilized me. He exposed the lie. Although the enemy still tries to attack, I know that the Lord is with me and that eventually we will all have victory.
So needed this. God bless us all.
Accusation is not one of the devils tools. It is not the Frontline work. It is HIS ONLY tool. It is the complete function of his army of demons. People say that the devil can both tempt you and accuse you. It has to be one or the other - it is accusation. Christ gives us free righteousness and the devil seeks to make us feel unjustified. This the pivotal understanding of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Salvation is not just a fact but also an ongoing process during which God points to our shortcomings. Dealing with them biblically (receiving His life in you, relying on His strength) will allow one not be condemned with the world at the final judgment.
The law that condemns us in our sinful condition is a good thing (Rom.7:12,13). It is necessary to help us see where we stand.
It is also good as it points to the One who can become our righteousness.
I don't mean just head knowledge but experiencing the power of the Holy Spirit that restrains the sinful desires and also gives a new heart and mind not interested in sin.
Accepting solutions, taking practical steps to deal with sins (one at a time) frees from condemnation.
Christianity is nothing but practice.
God does not condemn you for having the problem (sin) but you will be eventually condemned if you reject His solution for your problem (i.e.taking practical steps in overcoming sin by the power of the Spirit of God, Rom.6:1-11; 8:13).
God placed this video on purpose as the first video on my feed I just know it. I'm going to watch it all this morning.
Wonderful! I pray it adds grace, life and love to your journey.
My entire life i have beem striving to earn his grace. & trying to earn his grace thru works.. I was raised Catholic & i never knew " Ephesians 2:8 " ,, Just now in my later years after becoming born again am i beginning to enjoy the beauty of resting in the finished work that Christ has already achieved on the cross for us.. never had i known this feeling & this beautiful promise being a Catholic..In Catholicism we aren't worthy of grace & we are pretty much doomed for purgatory or worse... I felt no hope in religion.
Thank you for this beautifully insightful video..
God Bless you & your ministry
I feel free watching this.. thankyou.. I feel condemned with like trying to look best pshycally, I mean to look clean with hair products because before I look others and they have nice clean hair but they had like maybe pomade thing to do their hair, so I want and bought those things and yes it did good but after that the pressure is bad, feel bad , not sleep well, feel condemned.. I forgot how big the Love of God for me.. condemnation make the lies to make you feel that is more big than the Fathers love and want the best for you

I needed to hear this, thanks!
Thank you so so much. I truly needed this. I admire and respect not only your passion for God, but your passion for change and growth and for your subscribers. Speaks volumes about you.
You should seriously consider doing a multi part series to this topic. So benefical
Mard, great stuff youre putting out. keep up :) Before I found Jesus I was an entrepreneur and im just like you said PDC. But on my healing journay. Thanks a lot
Thanks Peter!
Spiritual narccissis use this spirit of condemnation against their victims. They get you to believe you are unredeemable! That God dosen't really love you and that you aren't saved! It's all a lie from the enemy!
This is exactly what is happening to me now!!! How can I stop this!?
@@HartFamilyAdventures keep praying and repenting. I know I blasphemed and did horrible things. I'll pray for you sister
Pat Phillips thank you it’s so rough!
@@HartFamilyAdventures I knowingly did evil blasphemous things even after I thought I was a christian, I think God is giving me yet another chance which is why I'm repenting so much and attending church regularly for the first time. God is so good.
Pat Phillips I said blasphemous things when I was 12. It’s holding it against me and making me feel unforgiven
Thank you..I have been going through this so badly over my past and I really need healing
thank you brother mark for letting God work in you to help us all :)
Needed that.
This video is amazing! 👐🏼🙏🏼
I have it on replay when i find myself going thru it. Today was another one of those days. 😰
This video replenishes & refreshes my hope & gives my faith a boost.
Praise Jesus!!
Thanks Mark 🙏🏼
Really good! Thanks :)
This is good thanks.
I know you posted this a little over a year ago, Mark, but this seems to be helping. I've always been obsessive about my unwanted thoughts, as far back as I can recall, and then over sin after committing my life to Christ. A severely and chronically guilty conscience. After I gave my life to Christ (a loooOOOooong time ago) I stayed the course for about 3 years, but then began to slowly drift into gross sin. I allowed myself to be deceived into seeking my own glory through the career I had at the time (thinking I was able to be a witness in that field and justifying it that way), among other things. I would always feel terrible about having fornicated, for example, and I'd sincerely repent. I'd then fall again not long afterward. Rinse and repeat. This went on for far too long. Far too long. I did eventually sincerely repent about 6 or seven years ago, but the shame, guilt, and regret over my actions for so long a period is literally crushing me. I wonder, "how could I have done that to Him? *How* ??" Compounding the problem is the very real terror that I have gone too far and that I am beyond forgiveness. One of the fruitless branches that the Father cuts away and tosses aside, ya know? Also the warnings that Paul gives about people practicing such things as sexual immorality, drunkenness, envy, coveting, etc. Most of that I don't think I have an issue with any longer, definitely not sexual immorality or drunkenness, but always I wonder, "but what *if* I'm committing idolatry and don't know it??" or some other sin. "I got irritated on the freeway and sat on the horn! Oh no! Was that an outburst of wrath?" This stuff tortures me. ha ha I laugh but it's literal agony. Like being on a torture rack for days at a time. That may sound dramatic, but it's accurate.
Anyway, I feel odd putting all that here on YT for anyone in the world with an internet connection to read, but maybe it'll help someone else, too. Thank you for your videos, sir. Edited for typos.
"This stuff tortures me. haha i laugh but it's literal agony." I can relate to this comment so much, I've felt that my inner condemnation is comical in a sense because of how ridiculous it seems, especially explaining it to others! but the agony is oh so real, torment. I have progressively been making ground in this area though! the verse "Even if my heart condemns me, God is greater than my heart" 1 John 3:20 is a powerful push back against the voice of condemnation. God's gift of righteousness seems far too good to be true, this is how i think we feel, those of us who feel not good enough, and somehow end up agreeing with the enemies accusations. I have noticed a shift in me though, in choosing to listen to the words of the Good shepherd! He is for us, he will not abandon us, he will deliver us! God bless you with the peace of the father!
@@Waffnub God bless you with the peace of the Father in Christ Jesus, too! I've also just been clinging to God's word despite how I feel or regardless of these intrusive thoughts. It's like walking out seems like very thin ice, but staying back in fear isn't doable, either, huh?
Hello Mark, I deeply appreciate your videos and I’m saving some money to have private counseling with you. Your channel has been helping me so much in opening my eyes to the patterns I got caught up into since being born-again. I have a question, can OCD or scrupulosity make you guilty of things that aren’t sinful? Does guilt automatically imply that I might have done something that is not of God’s will for me and that the enemy takes this as an opportunity to condemn me?
For more context I’ve been highly affected by legalistic views of godly women, and since God has sucked me out of the transgender ideology and gender dysphoria I’ve been wanting to express my femininity at last but I feel like I’m literally not allowed to, like a woman is not allowed to feel beautiful because it’s vanity and it leads to lust etc. It’s a very depressing place to be, and it forces me to believe that I should dress in a way I don’t like at all (basically like a nun, no makeup no pants no skin etc.). I’ve had moments where I was joyful wearing a necklace and some mascara and whatnot but after leaving the house I would feel debilitating guilt. If you have an insight or video to recommend I’d be really grateful... God bless you, and thank you for your work!
Hi sis! Did you ever find freedom in this topic? I’d love to speak with you over email!
@@vaultofriaoh absolutely. My relationship with God has changed so much, and it keeps changing for the better. Don’t get me wrong, I got crazy battles I’m facing but I’m glad to say that this whole vanity issue is no longer an obsession.
Bottom line, I am now in a place where I feel loved enough by God that I feel comfortable wearing make up and expressing myself through fashion and I trust that He accepts and loves me this way.
Don’t believe your thoughts. If it’s a rule, it’s probably a lie. Sin is real but only the loving discipline of the Lord can bring clarity to these confusing, scrupulous dilemmas, in a way that brings peace and joy, and not more bondage and feeling like we’re not good enough.
@@kaykitchingThank you for this!
Your word blessed me greatly!!!!
God bless you Mark ! You have been such a great help to me !
Thank you, God bless you! I can't even explain how much this message helped me.
Timely message THANKS
Do you have any recommendations for how to deal with family members who are condemning? My mother has been very critical of me my entire life. She actually exhibits almost all of the patterns of narcissism. I can hardly have a conversation with her without her using scripture as a weapon and telling me I need to pray more. I’ve wanted to peacefully cut ties with her, but the Holy Spirit told me very clearly not to (not in a condemning way).
Maybe play her his TH-cam on legalism ?
@@natasharose9856 it would probably make her mad most narcs are unreasonable and when you target them and tell them their wrong they will give you absolute hell for it. Complete control freaks, very demonic.
Good evening God is Sooo Good@@@thank u for letting me be here ...I just got married an my new husband has a past but family is condemned him when hes given his heart soul an life to God....please help me understand this cause I'm 41 now never been married till now I asked God to find me someone he kept his promise, I m born Christian an baptized spiritually gods shown me many visions....of what's too come...so me understanding why his family an the dark spirit doing this...

Hello this is relieving to know..
I just want to ask advise if you are in a home your parent always condemn you; like almost everyday. You know it kinda draining and it made me sin. It is like a hobby for her to condemn what to do? you know im considering to move out but also outside home (world) is harsh
Hi Mark. Im really going through this. For a moment i think its gone but then it comes back,if i manage to deal with it for a day ,something else comes up. Either doubting God's goodness or that He loves or even cares for me at all. Its causing me anxiety that I can hardly breathe. I spend time in church battling voices of condemnation instead of listening to sermons . It's making me to feel so dry ,i nolonger have desire to read the word.
Now I’m condemning myself for condemning myself 😂 I’m a mess, Mark.
Thank you so much! 🥰🥰🥰
This is awesome. I have been struggling with something that sounds stupid but is worrying to me. I feel like I am getting conviction from the Holy Spirit to throw away some earthly objects that I don’t want to throw away. By this I mean like objects. But I hear and read stuff like, “But if you have doubts about whether or not you should eat something, you are sinning if you go ahead and do it. For you are not following your convictions. If you do anything you believe is not right, you are sinning.” Romans 14:23.
Is this a sign of religious OCD or do you think I’m being guided by God. Keep in mind that I feel like if I do not do so I am sinning and I will go to Hell if I don’t throw away the things I don’t want to. Yes I know the gospel is not performance based but I am feeling like God is telling me to do so.
Looking back on my journey, I had many times when I felt this driving urge that I needed to throw away objects, but I can see that it was done out of OCD and a religious performance pressure. There are times in love relationship with God, where I have felt to let go of certain things, but it was done out of love, not by a pressing guilt or obsession.
Mark DeJesus ok thanks
I have religious OCD and what you’re describing sounds like it could be but I’d need more info to be able to tell
Throw the objects away dude! And don't let doubts take hold! I threw away sooo many things because they were evil! I had a $500 Morbid Angel Blasphegram ring but I threw if in the garbage where it belongs! I threw out or sold many of my evil CDs and I am attending church nowadays. I worry that I might be too late because I said blasphemous things and worshipped evil even after knowing Christ. But I've learned to be more bible based and more of a good Christian instead of a double life. Also try and change media. So much filth is on Netflix and on the radio/music industry.
Pat Phillips I agree with so much of this. I have thrown as much as my dads possessions away because he was a mason including his ashes. I know it seems extreme but I’m being tormented by demons because of family involvement in the masons
What about when He says “If you love me follow my commands”?
How do we show we love Him without working hard to following His commands?
because if we love him with His love, it will come as a flow. Just like a river moves with no effort
Thank you so much
Amen ❤ thank you 🙏🏽🫂
I really enjoyed this video and it has given me a new perspective on my relationship with god. However, the verse of Romans 6:22 comes to mind where it is stated “But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of god”
What do you think of this?
Im my study Bible it relates the word “slave” to the first-century intent of “doulos” which conveyed at least five ideas of absolute obedience, compulsory obedience, consistent obedience, exclusive obedience, and loyal obedience.
I loved the hole video 👍👍👍
Whole*
Sorry if you’ve been condemned by Christians. I’m a Christian myself for 2 years and have been hurt a lot by so called “Christian’s” who are critical and judgmental. Not all Christian’s are like that and I hope you meet some who show genuine love and grace from God like I have.
This is so true
I don't see condemnation in the new testament..especially for the saved..I see warnings to believers though and consequences of sin and things like that...But if you are living Godly being obedient if you have truly repented if you accept Jesus as your lord and savior you aren't condemned man God is not gonna reject you...you aren't gonna be cast into the lake of fire even though hell is a real place...You follow and obey God you don't have to worry about spending eternity there...
That was awesome!
Hey, I hope you notice me, i have a question; Can a man be forgiven if he sin according to his will after receiving the holy spirit and repent it because of the holy spirit conviction? I hope you answer me plz plz plz
We all sin man. Even after receiving the holy spirit. There's a constant war going on between the flesh and the spirit. Jesus said: "Pray that ye enter not into temptation. The spirit is indeed willing but the flesh is weak" Were all gonna mess up. But if Repent and do our best to leave that sin, and trust and believe in God. You will be forgiven. I'm no expert but that's my belief.
@@Swagu33 Thank you so much for reminding me. I do need to do my best to overcome the sin but plz pray for me since I am still going through problems.
@@litamactal3807 i will man.
@litamactal3807 I hope you have overcome the sin with the help of the Holy Spirit. But I pray for you anyway that Jesus must bless you and help you with whatever you need. ❤️
I keep being told im satan in human form and I'm going to have the worst punishment of anyone. Ive never been more scared of ANYTHING in my life
Why do you say this?

Hi mark my name is Paul McGuinness I'm from long island NY
I am on the high functioning end of the autism spectrum. And am 24 years old. I struggle so much with reading the Bible and. Putting it into practice. I feel so intimidated by scriptures like the way to heaven is narrow and the gate to hell is easy.
And few enter it. As well as things like I must not love mother father more than God otherwise I'm not worthy to be a diciple. And the scriptures were Jesus says those who love me keep my commandments. I feel like alot of trying to follow God's commands in new testament are burden some
How can i work on the things God has showed me in his word . And be obedient in living them in a way that's not burden some or stressfull?
I also struggle with just picking one bible book or passage. To read on and I feel like I can't make up my mind on what to read and put into practice God has shown me so many wonderfully things. And has given me good advice . And things to work on. But I can't seem to just stick to one area. So I wander from page to page till I finally get frustrated and give up on the bible
Could you guys make a video for me addressing these concerns. I would be so blessed
I also find it very easy to retain wisdom and knowledge. But feel this inner powerlessness that makes me feel like I can't live it out. I need help simplifying God's will from his word as well as his will for my life

What’s your thoughts about people who say if you don’t speak in tongues your not as saved.
Watch Ron Phillips breaking down strongholds video on youtube
This is nonsense. We are justified by faith alone.
I was apart of that group the UPC, I almost lost my mind there, it’s a cult. That’s not the gospel, Acts 2:38 was specific to day of Pentecost on that particular evening, not a form of salvation.
False teaching/cult.
That’s not the gospel
What really helped me:
Jesus Himself is our High Priest. If you read about a High Priest he has a plate of pure gold on his Forehead like the engravings of a signet: HOLY TO THE LORD. So all your thoughts and all your doings no matter what is in your mind are HOLY TO THE LORD through Jesus Christ. Let your thoughts go. They will become right and holy not of yourself but by the Holy Spirit. All holy thoughts and deeds are fruits and not pushed out
Wow. You're describing me.
Hey, Does the Holy spirit leave a born again Christian and never come back? Plz answer me, why I cannot feel his presence, I am so depressed plz help me. I feel like the Holy spirit has departed from me + their is blaspheme thoughts in my mind,😭😭😭What should I do??! I am being bombarded by blasphemous thoughts plz help me ASAP😭😭😭
And about the blasphemous thoughts, I know exactly what you’re talking about. I’ve experienced them many of times and they’re horrible. I hate the thoughts. But what I had to realize is that God sees my heart and knows that I don’t want to be thinking these thoughts nor do I believe them. Those blasphemous thoughts you’re thinking are from the devil and not from yourself, no matter how much the devil tries and convince you that they’re your thoughts. Just the very fact you’re worried about the thoughts is showing that the thoughts are not from you. Every time you get a bad thought, just go back to God’s word and pick a scripture to say and remind yourself of God’s truth. God is not mad at you and He loves you and nothing can EVER change that. “Submit to God, resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” James 4:7

Excuse me, Mark. But this is not completely accurate. The Bibles says we've all been condemned, due to the wrong choice of Adam and Eve as they chose mistrust to God's Word which led to death not life.
But by God's mercy we are all invited to come back to Him and accept His means of salvation so that we are not condemned with the world at the judgement day.
At some point it is just necessary for us to feel condemnation of the Law to be able to see where we really stand and the wrong direction we all head to and so that we desire salvation.
Grace at this point may be truly valued and willingly accepted.
I think such topics might be misleading and confusing people not to pay attention to the things God is trying to point to in order they could deal with them and thus be cleansed (through practical aspect of grace).
Condemnation should not be confused with retaliation which God does not desire. But we need to see we came under the condemnation of His Law and will have to bear final consequences, i.e.condemnation if we don't accept God's solution now. God is very straight with us and fair.
Seeing ourselves fallen under condemnation of the Law due to our wrong choices may actually lead to awakening and repentance.
1 John 3:20 in whatever our heart condemns us; for God is greater than our heart and knows all things:
The difference between God's condemnation and satan's accusations is the latter says: "you are a sinner, you are lost. God doesn't want you and this is your dead end". But God says: "Yes, you are a sinner but come to Me. I will cleanse you. I will revive and restore you".
