Dude. This is simply eye-opening. I pray that this comment will be helpful to anyone who reads it. You may be a Christian, and have a lack of knowledge of God's love, or in fact, GOD HIMSELF. For years I have been struggling with legalism and fear of punishment. This eventually developed into anxiety. At the age of 23, I have finally come to the conclusion that I need to heal my relationship with myself. God bless you all.
Living in my aunts basement bc I was so afraid I wasn’t doing good enough as an adult that I caused my own downfall financially, mentally and physically. It was because I tried doing everything myself. God really sat me down since I was a HUGE brat. I’ve been humbled, healed and tamed. No longer do I fear “what if” I’m just like… “Okay Father.” 🖤🤗
From the time I was a child I had an unhealthy fear of the supernatural. When I attended a Bible Study, I opened my Bible to 2 Timothy 1:7 and discovered that my fear was not from God, but an unnatural fear. I realized that God’s love provided me the power of a sound mind. I thereafter never had that fear again. God is wonderful!
@russellgallinat1541 me too. I really just saw this fear for what it was this year. I am still asking the Holy Spirit to help me and renew my mind. I always thought I was alone in that fear but since I recognized it, I have met so many people that also has the struggle. I'm so Grateful God is leading me out with the Word of God♡♡♡
My scripture that keeps me sane is: 2 Timothy 1:7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power & of love and of a sound mind. Being raised in a home with a mentally ill mother, I was always afraid. When I found this verse, probably as a pre-teen, I held onto it & have continued to grow with this verse thru the years. Praise God!
Your "beloved one" is not yours,,. He is the child of God. You were created to prevent the manchildren from killing each other. God wanted lots of children(sons). So they had to have a scapegoat, a whipping boy to abuse. Otherwise they would kill each other. They were created in God's image. God knew that they would,. He created woman as a convience. Convenience. Pray that he allows us to dissappear at death. Otherwise we will rot in hell for their sins.
God healed my severe anxiety and depression and I’m forever grateful!! 🙏🏼❤️✝️. God also gave me the spiritual discernment to keep me free from depression and anxiety. That includes being very intentional about what I do, what I listen to, what I read, what I watch, what I think, etc. Meditate on God’s word, read the Bible, read Christian books, attend Bible studies, attend church, watch or listen to online sermons, sing worship music, and fill your life with the good things of God. Also, be a servant to others, focus less on yourself and more on how you can help others. God bless!
@@Michelle-zz7no such good advice. All the things you mentioned help drive fear out and replaces it with God’s love for us in Christ Jesus. I love listening to “Christian Praise Worship Radio” at LIVE 365 online radio network. It lifts my spirit every time without the constant interruptions of DJs or commercials.
@@Michelle-zz7no Praise God. I'm struggling with the domino effect of supply shortages, everything going digital, and government not helping. I know God Is Always there!
Thank you for this great advice I will follow this as best I can I had already started to delete certain apps n things off my phone as they serves no purpose I will continue on
@@spiritman-em4qr Feel that, too. I knew the love but I just didn't see myself as loved by accepting I'm flawed but God Is Willingly to guide and fix me if I allow HIM.
I was saved in 1989, but in the early hours of 4/19/17, I came to know the love of God. I was exploding with anxiety at 4 am, wrestling with the God I feared. The Holy Spirit came into my room in a special way, like nothing else I had experienced. It became a place of love and peace. The moment was very marked, very tangible. Anxiety completed flowed out, and God's love flowed in. I cried as I embraced my Father as I never knew Him before. It has changed my life to this very day. Praise and glory to God forever!
You're a blessed person to have that beautiful experience ✨️ i know that GOD HAS SAVED ME FROM ADDICTION AND A TERRIBLE RONG LIFE. IM TRYING TO GET 2 KNOW HOW TO LIVE WITHOUT DOING RONG OR FEAR, MY ANXIETY IS CALMING, I NEED TO GROW IN THE LOVE OF JESUS CHRIST MY LORD AND SAVOUR AMEN 🕊 ✝️.
Fear and anxiety have been following me and my family down through the generations . My prayers always ask Jesus to heal me and my daughters anxiety and depression, Amen and Amen, Thank you for this.
You are healed when you keep seeking Jesus first every day .. how you start your day , what you watch , what you see , what you listen to, what you read , whom you hangout with , what you consume.. All has to do with how the fear and anxiety will set it .. We open doors for the enemy to come into our world by living of the world... There's a reason why I God tells us to not be conformed to this world but to be transformed in our minds by being Born Again unto Jesus , finding a great church and church family, join Bible studies , listen to and sing worship music , volunteer work, prayer 🙏🏽 and seeking Jesus daily !!! God has got you when you stay in the narrow path .. Through Jesus .. 🙏🏽🤍💒📖😇 Gods love is found be seeking Him daily ... 😊
I’m 60 years old and I’ve been saved for over 40 years (thank you Lord Jesus) but I’ve only recently begun to really view God as my Heavenly Father who loves me. I had a head knowledge of that but not a heart knowledge. This has made a huge impact upon my walk with Christ and my mental health!
I’m 57, I asked Jesus into my heart when I was 14. I’ve gone to church most of my adult life but didn’t really start building my relationship with Christ until the last couple of years. I’m praying for you brother!
Nothing is as rewarding and satisfying as knowing God is with you always. So you talking to and with Him, joy and sorrow, life is rapped up in Him because we are in love with each other. Wow!! So exciting
I'm born again but have been suffering from severe panic attacks for year's. Since covid, it has been so so frequent. I take medication. I am so grateful for this eye opener! I'm tearing up! God bless you all
Anxiety meds make anxiety worse in the long haul. They do more damage than good. Perhaps see a holistic doctor to get to the root of it. Most importantly, ask God to bring you peace. Magnesium oil helps a lot. There are many natural ways.❤❤❤
Remember that Our Father in heaven is a wonderful Physician. In the same way as we must take all our medication to ensure our health, so in the same way we must be full of him to ensure our spiritual health. If you take half the medicine then whatever is plaguing you will come back, so it must be with our Heavenly Father. If you don’t fulfill yourself with him then you won’t have his full blessing and forgiveness that you receive in walk with the Holy Spirit. If you want to ensure your spiritual growth Jesus is the only way. He said I am the way the truth and the life nobody can see the father except through me. So we must as Christian’s take our spiritual medicine that our Father gives us through his word and through his son Jesus.
@@tina-mariecrocker5687 I agree with this comment 💯!! I suffered since childhood with depression and anxiety and since I had my encounter with the Holy Spirit, I have been drawn to read the Bible daily and focus on His promises!! I thought I'd never feel peace or true joy without medication or something external, but the WORD of God engrained into our mids literally and physically Heals us!!!!! We need to take in the word of God the same way we take in our food. God bless ❤️🙏❤️🙏
God bless you and everyone here. God first & Jesus loves you more than you'll ever know & I hope you see Him one day once you're up there, and also magnesium is a literal God-send and it helps with anxiety & body problems so much. Magnesium citrate is one good rendition of the stuff. I heard glycinate helps before bed and is the most bioavailable. God bless you.❤
I have been in despair and hopelessness lately. Strong attack from the enemy. This message hits deep and yes love is God and the absolute opposite of fear
Thank you so much! I have wondered why I could not stop worrying and stop "performing" without feeling loved. After 85 years of life I can finally feel loved.
What do you mean by performing ''Im laughing so hard with tears in my eyes because of how that and your whole comment sounds!'' Exactly what do you mean by performing and feeling really loved?!?! Big smiley face! And your profile picture just fits it so well too! LOL!
I have no words how much this means to me!! I have thought about this so much lately. THERE IS NO FEAR IN LOVE. The most powerful sentence in the whole bible.❤
Thank you brother I needed that word so much. I know God's loves me but I struggle with lots of anxiety, fear and troublesome thoughts. I guess I should consider the depths of God's unconditional love for Him. God knows that I love and still suffer so much. Very helpful lesson. God bless 🙏
Thank you dear brother and Christ mark!god also deeply impressed this verse on my heart when I decided to stop hearing marriage not being successful and I married my husband of now 24 years and we have 6 children now! This is the exact Bible verse that helped me to do it
Yes! And the one that really helped me maintain my healing from Bipolar 1 was “God did not give us a spirit of fear but of power, love and a sound mind.” You and I are sharing the same message! Praise God that He doesn’t lead with fear!!❤ Our stories are so similar! Praise God for your freedom and mine! Praying many more overcome as we share these testimonies.
@@laurenort9237 try and go out helping people, stay busy, if you are able to help physically, then do it! There are a lot of people going thru hell from the hurricanes. Dont stay put.keep moving, that moves your mind also, and never stop calling out to Jesus
I can't tell you how much this means to me. I am riddled with fear in all areas of my life. I'm a perfectionist with a rejection mindset. I live in almost constant anxiety and depression on some level. I feel like I am living in a horrible spiritual, emotional, and mental cage and it's taking away my will to live. Addictions have always been my escape. I read this verse, and I interpreted it as meaning "I need to have perfect love in my heart so that there's no more fear" or "I have to muster up all the love in my own heart myself in order to drive fear out". And my following thoughts were "I can't do this... There's no love in me. I can't generate it and drive fear out. I'm too weary, too worn out, too hurt, too skeptical". But now that I know the verse is about GOD'S love for me, I will work on this. I'm going to look into your other resources too. I just became a Father myself last week. And I, like God, loved my son before he was even born. I want to live in a place where I am safe and secure in God's love all the time. My sins and past life has made me reinforce these feelings like I'm a loser and I'll never do anything right. I try to think of things I can do to make myself better but I have no drove to do them because of fear. Fear of failure, fear of rejection. I reject myself because I don't see what's lovable about me. And I don't see meaning in anything. I get so sick of everything and I am never at peace. It's so hard. I'm sorry I'm letting so much out and I don't ever do this but your video made such an impact and I need to keep exploring this. I know I need to evangelize too and I need to spread the Gospel, but I can't even do that because it turns out I don't even understand God's love because I don't even live in it - I live in fear. I know God is real and I do love him, I just hate my sinful nature and I hate this sinful world. Thank you so, so much for this. I will learn and grow into God's love. You may have just turned my entire life around brother. Hallelujah, praise God 🙏
God Bless you 'smoking crab'.... Your authenticity is precious! God Sees you, Hears you and Knows you~ HE pursues you relentlessly because He loves you! Praise and Rejoice in that ♥ It's no mistake He wanted you hear this teaching to help you receive His Love---You are worthy, because of the Cross. May the LOVE of Our Father flood your heart with His Peace as you trust in His Love for you always ~ Be Healed by His Love! In Jesus Mighty Powerful Name amen
You speak with such authenticity… you may even have spoken for others who are unable to voice their own thoughts ~ there is power and blessings in that. God already knows your fears AND about your sinful nature, AND YET ~ He directed you to hear this message so that you will know HE LOVES YOU. Sharing YOUR story together HIS WORD is indeed evangelization. Read, memorize, and repeat to yourself daily the message found in JEREMIAH 29:11 Your newborn child is relying on you… I lift you and your new family in prayer, in Jesus’ name, AMEN🙏🏽
FELT THIS! You’re not alone with the mind being a battlefield. I suffered from distorted mindsets and it messed me up. Thanks be to God that he’s teaching me renewal of the mind day by day
@@tina-mariecrocker5687 me too ,been going such torment mentally sometimes I don’t think I can hold on ,failure as a wife as mother as a friend as a Christian it’s overwhelming
@@colleenjohnson1508 Hi I just read your comment and my heart goes out to you because I have struggled with feeling the same way at times. Hold on - if you’re a believer, hold on to the Lord’s promises that He will never leave you or forsake you. Read Isaiah 41:13 This scripture has comforted me this week and I pray you will allow it to give you hope, comfort, encouragement, and peace as well. Jesus really loves us.❤️🙏🏽
Receiving Gods love is difficult when you didn’t have a loving father. It’s taken me a long time to realize this and forgive and see my human father like a child that experienced harshness from his own father. Jesus is my father now and He has taught me to love and forgive. This is the way to peace.
For me the Eucharist takes all fear & anxiety away. If I am going through a difficult time, I just attend daily Mass and take the Eucharist. Is the only thing that has saved my mental health.
Torment is exactly where I am right now. I sin and sin and either the way the Bible is written, or my interpretation of the passages makes me feel like I am going to hell. I can read one thing and feel great and then read something else and just feel like it is pointless. I truly believe Jesus is my Lord and Savior and that he died on the cross for my sins and rose from the dead for my eternal life. I am letting him down and it is driving me crazy!
I’ve been in your shoes John. For many years I had OCD thoughts of going to hell because I wasn’t perfect enough. It is Satan trying to convince you that you’re not really saved. Don’t believe his lies. Ask God to help you have more faith. Christ created you in His image, called you, and loved you first. 🙏🏻
Wow. Wow. Wow. I'm going through the healing journey and it's so tough. Thank you for sharing this, SO needed this Truth! Thank you, Lord, for your love!! Clinging to Him and learning that I'm safe in Him
I have a deep wound that is caused by religion and performance based Christianity. Every time when it comes to following Christ it stirred up fear, worry, unworthynes and a lot of pressure. It was not something that brought me nearer to god and made me love him more, instead it caused me to run away from him… I always thought that I had to give up my deepest needs and desires because that was the interpretation of taking up my cross and follow him. It was so toxic..
You’re not alone with the hiding part! I used to constantly run away when I faced issues… especially old ones. We simply need to receive his love and grace and not be afraid of Him. Reverential fear of God is what I’m clarifying. Matthew 11:28-30, “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” I hope this helps! 🤍🤍
same, due to some misunderstandings, how we're expected to fast n pray, in which I, many times because I kept hearing that if I don't, I'll die, and it caused a lot of distrust because of it.
My dear brother or sister in Christ, I truly understand how you feel because I was that way too until the Spirit of God helped me to realize that it was not God’s requirement, it was the requirement imposed on me by my family, culture and religious people who also got it wrong. God is love. His only requirement is to love Him with all our heart, mind, and soul and to love our neighbors as ourselves. I am getting better and when that religious and performance thoughts start creeping up, I know it is not from God and I don’t have to give in to it. I remind myself that God loved me first even before I was born and I give all the burden to God in my quiet one minute pray. “ God because You created me, I only listen to you and nothing else, so align my thoughts and thinking with yours” May God bless you and hang on to hope.
Agreed. Battling depression and anxiety last year and is wake up around 3 and not be able to sleep, being tormented. I didn’t have the strength for much fighting but one night I just repeated this scripture over and over and it worked! Was relieved and grateful for the power of God’s Word!!!
Numbers 6:24-26 NIV The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face SHINE on you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace.
@@ShinyDhas Hi Shine I pray for you in Jesus name that your husband and children will be made whole in Jesus name trust the love of Jesus for your family blessings.
Ive been a Christian for 2 years and I never to have any peace, leading me to depression and fatigue. God has revealed himself to me in so many ways and has given me His promises and great verses. I need to cling to these more and more. I am constantly attacked with fearful thoughts. I compare myself to other Christians that seem to be so strong and this makes me more afraid. It is encouraging to read here about Christians who are struggling like me. Praying for us all🙏🙏🙏
Maybe see if you can find a deliverance ministry near you. Try worshipping the Lord too. Put on worship music and sing to him with gratitude in your heart praising him.
See Colossians 2:14-15, See it in King James Version & Amplified Classic or Amplified. The spirit of fear & its team of anxiety, worry ,doubt, unbelief who enforces pressure against us to get us to be emotional, leaning on our own strengths & power, trying to figure things out. Gods Heart The Word & Power is active working for you when you come to Him & say I need your help. Your Words speaks to me saying this I receive & believe it. This is FAITH WORKING & The Holy Spirit will now help you because you acknowledged your need to Them ( The Trinity) & They Will do what They Have spoken to us.This is where time & Trusting God comes in. All Believers need PATIENCE & ENDURANCE. When attacked acknowledge God ( The Trinity) then agree the enemy has been defeated at the Cross( remember Colossians 2:14-15) & Tell God you know He will deliver you, because you stand with Them against a lying, intimidating defeated enemy. We’re not trying to get victory THE CROSS & WHAT JESUS DID SOLIDIFYS THE ALREADY DONE VICTORY. Be Free Beloved Child of The Most High God.
Excuse me, I’m just like you. I got saved for like 2 years now and about a month and it was great but God allows things to happen in our lives like things that can steal our joy and peace to prune us, to show us His love, to reveal things in us. And I’m going through both deliverance in church but more so self deliverance. It takes courage, believe in the love of God, He has not rejected you, He only wants good things for you. Oh I have so much to say but you get the gist of it right? ♥️ Jesus loves you so much.
@@kemmygc I am aware that God wants us to go through things. It was good to come on here to realise that others are also going through things. Christians around me always seem to cope better than I do which doesnt help me. Have a good day.😀
I have struggled with anxiety and panic for my entire 65 years. It caused many side problems too. I realize that I am fearless in regard to all external things because it doesn't compare with the terror inside my head. Curing myself from it is my last great hurdle. It's an full on war. Your sharing of 1 John has given me a tremendous tool to use. THANK YOU!! And I'm sorry for the time you spent feeling trapped by the same nightmare. May God bless you Mark for sharing. Again, THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart. Love in Christ.
When my first wife left me, after 18 years of marriage, I was traumatized and searching for meaning. I opened the bible to a random page and found this passage. I couldn’t believe the profound nature of this message and have never forgotten it. It told me that I was suffering because I still had not learned to let go, trust God and to seek His love above all else. Once you learn to understand that God loves you, that eternal life is waiting for you, everything else in this earth becomes easier to bear. It doesn’t mean that you don’t mourn the loss of a wife, husband, child, etc. this will happen. But, with lots of prayer and focus on Christ, it means that you won’t be overcome with dread about the future.
@@filhodarosa7512 Divinely inspired words from God’s lips to my heart! ❤️ Ohhhh how I needed to read that at this very moment of sorrow in my life 😞 Thank you so much
@@liyahM78 Oh thank you for this! I just had a bad encounter in my current church with someone and your words are reminding me that if she was truly loving, she would have handled the situation differently. Sometimes I blame myself for others actions. I need a new church because almost everyone acts in this way where I currently attend. I pray that I can find truly loving people in a loving church somewhere.
Thanks for the explanation. I did not understand it at first. Towards the end I remember a childhood incident when I was 7 years old. Our house was destroyed by a storm and the insurance did not pay because it was an act of God. Since then I had this fear of god. When I miss going to church on a Sunday I thought he would punish me. So like you said I was always scared he punishes me . Wow this sure has cleared up something in my mind I’ve been carrying around for over 50 years. ❤❤❤I I’ve been up all night can’t sleep go on you tube and find this. Thank you Heavenly Father and Mark. Love was definitely missing in my life since I was small. I seemed to have a problem with receiving . I just realized my life has been a battle with fear because of missing love. ❤️ I am so blown away by what has just happened to me watching this video. I am good at giving and showing love but I have not felt or been able to receive. Sorry for the long text but I needed to get this out. Love and best wishes to everyone watching this❤
@@DJMikeron Thank you for sharing this. How may I best help a Christian person that is not receiving love? How can I quickly identify in a fellow Christian the characteristics that they aren't receiving love? What were you like when you weren't receiving love? What does that look like on a daily basis with a person struggling with this? I ask these questions to be able to learn about this, to help others out of this situation if I am able to identify it quickly in them, to help them recover from this. Thank you for your post.
I am saving Mark's videos. I have been a Christian for many years and Mark's videos have helped me so much. You know why? Because he can relate to us. What a blessing. I am seeing God as love and understanding it for really the first time. I know He loves us by giving us Jesus as Savior, but, toknow God as the epitome of Love is now so important to this old man.
You are my sibling in Christ and I love you and you matter. Give all of those 50 years to Jesus and lay your face at the foot of the Cross. His Grace and Love will heal you. He went through all that you've been through and took the punishment and wrath that was for you.... why? He did it all so you would See His Perfect Love as He called you by name. Your name. Your name He was whispering and focused on as He took every lash and laugh. There could never be a greater Love for you than that. He gave up everything so that you will have everything...and fear is under His feet. It doesn't exist in the spiritual world anymore for Believers. The demons will always throw 'thought' darts but have a Scripture handy on a note or phone to see quickly... it will get worse before it gets better... they see a change /move towards God and will fight you where you are vulnerable. Don't have to feel anything.... just repeat God's Word. He wants you to KNOW there is no fear in Him and if you are In Him... then He is In you. 😃😀. He experienced all of your fear so you never have to. Such perfect love. Hang in there. He will always complete what He starts. You.... are His. 😽😝😺🙏💜
Recently, after meeting with a coworker where there was repentance, forgiveness, & kindness, a fear I had was expelled because love activated my faith, & I was willing to do something that I’d been afraid to do. It was an unhealthy, irrational fear. In fact, as soon as I saw this video title, I knew I wanted to watch it. It is a part of my testimony that God’s love is transformational-not only my love for God & His love for me, but also His love through me for others. His love casts out fear.✋🏾🤚🏾✋🏻🤚🏻 God’s love is a wonderful boomerang effect for deliverance, salvation, healing, & fearlessness. Selah.🙏🏾🙇🏽♀️
@@MrsLeo2222 it is most of the time spychological . You need that time to figure out whats on your mind. It can something in your past. Or write it on paper. You see and feel it. Or to a spychologist . For EMDR. And pray! Your body get rest. Dont be afraid.

What a NEEDED message in these days! The enemy is so busy keeping people in torment. I pray that everyone around this world will hear this message and that it will SINK IN and set them free.
Thank you so much! This very topic of ‘trying to love God’ has been on my heart all today and yesterday, weighing me down. I must rest and relax in HIS perfect love for me, and SLOWLY learn to receive it. ❤️❤️😊
This was extremely helpful and just what I needed today. I was at church yesterday and felt the Lord speaking to me during worship and for the first time I really knew that I could trust him in my situation. Your expository teaching on this verse was excellent!! When you said, we know God has our back, that got me because I actually believe it now!! Thanks Mark 💜
@@TequilaStandifer8888 yes we heard this message and the appointed time to receive it. I did. I so needed it. Anxiety can feel like your gut is on fire and bad enough, accompanied by dry heaves. Fear is behind anxiety like hurt is behind anger.
@@marlenelindsey7638 I am sorry you’re experiencing those things! keep this message as your reminder God did not give u a spirit of fear it and none of its relatives belongs to you Anytime they come in your mind remind yourself that there is no fear in Love I know those thoughts will flee from u and even if they come more than once or even a few times stay believing God and I promise you before u know anxiety etc won’t be there and when things happen that would have put u in a state of fear etc you will not react the same because when u believe God and Gods word there is no thought or feeling the so-called enemy can put on you to make u doubt Gods love anymore ❤️
I recently watched a video where they state scientists have found that the area that lights up in our brain when we appreciate something is the same area that lights up when we are anxious. They state that if we can be grateful, it helps curb anxiety.
I used to shine so brightly "the holy spirit " was so bright. Through years of sexual, mental, physical, verbal abuse im dimming... I love my lord and savior he got me through all my pain but im so tired, tired of failing, tired of being misjudged, tired of being laughed at. Im tired
My trauma and emotional neglect and trying to be perfect for avoidance negligent spouse for 46 years and a emotional disturbed mother I don't know what it's like to be loved I don't know how to nurture. I get he loves us but I don't know how to do any of this
1. Receive Gods Love 2. How does God see me? 3. Relate to God as my Father 4. Expose my rejection wounds 5. God loves me before I was born ❤and actively receive His love 🎉❤😊
This message came into my feed. Thank you for sharing it. I am 60 and have struggled with depression and rejection for the majority of my life. I have had trauma in childhood and in marriage. Been divorced for years. Although I have known God I have only been a Christian since 2008. I love the Lord and want to serve Him. Your message really hit me. I want to learn to accept His love knowing He loved me first! Thank you many Blessings🙏🏻🙏🏻💕
I understand because i’am going through the same things. Praying for you. I believe God will heal our wounds. I too want to serve Him and know Him with all my heart.❤️🙏
Thanks Mark. I've recently returned to Christ but have developed a religious spirit based on performance and a fear of punishment. I want to receive God's love today.
May God bless you. Eye has not seen, ear has not heard what God has ready for those who love him. Speak, Talk to your Father brother. Just as you wrote it here. Open your heart, in all honesty to Him and just tell him everything. He loves you and wants Communion (communication with you). The good, the bad and the ugly; he desires to hear it all beloved. Be blessed 🤍🙏🏾
We can face our fears with the love of God. We can worry about what might happen if we meet someone, do something, say something, but if we step out, move forward with this reassurance of his perfect love for us, we can meet that situation with love so the fear has to go. Be gone in the name of Him who loves!
@nrtnrt6676 a lot better than better. I still struggling with bad thoughts but Jesus helps me. Btw I saw him twice in a dream last night. He was floating on a cloud. Thanks for checking on me. 🫂
Thank you Father, that no weapon the enemy forms against us shall prosper because we are covered by the blood of Jesus, and you have put all things under his feet. Because Christ dwells in us, we declare that greater is he that is in us than he that is in the world. Amen
Mark, I don't know if you will still read this because this video was made a while ago. I came across it out of absolutely nowhere, it just popped up and I had not been watching any videos on mental health at all. I am suffering at the moment from crippling anxiety. I did not think God would see me as you described and I could never get anything right, my prayer, Mass attendance, anything. It is a torment. But now I will pray to feel Gods love and ask for His help. Before I thought my anxiety was a punishment for everything I had done wrong or had not done right. Thank you for this wonderful video, your descriptions was like everything I have felt. I don't feel as hopeless, I can ask God to help me now instead of feeling I deserved everything I was feeling.
@@LittleRobotNX01 same here. This just showed up and I was drawn to it. Four hours sleep and same experience as you, crippling anxiety 😥 I Pray this helps us 🙏
@@northcountrygirl4879 Thank you so much for your message, same here! Four hours sleep, really, really bad day and Mark's video pops up. My heart goes out to you too, we have to believe what Mark has explained and said, God loved us first. ♥ Just keep telling yourself that. I think Mark has other videos that will help too. 🙏
God doesn't punish those of us who are in Christ Jesus. The law was given by Moses, *grace* and truth came by Jesus Christ. Our Father will lovingly chastise us. Holy Spirit will guide and teach us, but those of us who have received Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior are redeemed from the curse of the law. Jesus tells us who are wearied and burdened to come to Him, to cast our cares on Him. Believers are highly favored, deeply loved, and irreversibly blessed!! Nothing can separate us from His love. Are there consequences to sin? Of course! Overeating and smoking will damage our bodies (the temples of Holy Spirit). Infidelity has natural consequences, and so on and so forth but God doesn't "punish" us for our sins. We are forgiven because of Jesus' death and resurrection. Jesus died so we can have life and *life abundant*!! Receive all the blessings that are yours as a co-heir with Christ Jesus. Read the Bible because you want to, because it's God's love letter to you, not because you feel like you must in order to gain His love. Jesus never told anyone He healed "Great is your scripture studying!" or "I heal you because you prayed every day for an hour last month!" or "Healing is yours because you sacrificed chocolate during lent!" Jesus told the woman with the issue of blood, "Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace." Maybe ask Him to increase your faith. He wants you to enter into His rest because He loves you!
Amen, I have had so much trauma. After military and being traffic by a group while in, I was so afraid to come out of my home. It took years of more abuse in home , God started taking those relationships away. all his glory, all his praise. I only fear not being near God. Thank you, thank you for healing this area ,this stronghold of fear. All your Glory, your testament. Selah

I am renewing my mind, but not without medication, it is unfortunately that for some of us medication is part of our lives. I appreciated very much your teachings.
@@laurenmay2098 Well I was on Lexapro for 20 years. Once you start the antidepressants you cannot just get off them. I believe you have to take care of your diet to take care of your mind body and soul. It has taken me 8 most to stop 20 milligrams of Lexapro. Just took the Leap of faith today and stopped my last 5 milligrams of Lexapro. I will be emotional for about 2 weeks. I will have to check myself and emotions while going thru this last stage. God bless you. I hope you feel better.
@@laurenmay2098 my friend is under medication and I read he might not wean off after 3 months, it has been more than 2 years. I do keep hoping, LaurenMay. my church teaches God heals and I pray it is possible to go off medication.
I can't describe how much each time I am amazed, when I read EXACTLY what I'm struggling with or need to learn.. HE KNOWS us. It's such love and help and guidance.
1 Corinthians 13:4-5: Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, and it keeps no record of wrongs.
Thank You, Abba Father, Abba Daddy, Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior, and Holy Spirit, Ruach, Breath of God, for Loving me Unconditionally the way that no human being can ever love me. You never disappoint me, Lord. You Keep Every Promise! I need not fear at all about anything! I love you, too, Lord!🙌🙏❤
Super great message. Yes, when I read that “ we love HIM because HE first loved us”, that was the game changer for me,a really pivotal moment in time for me. Super amazing
I experienced a separation from God because of fear after walking with Him and serving Him for 25 years. About 6 years ago, I chose to do something that made me FEEL like I was failing and walking away from Him even though I knew I had Biblical grounds for doing what I did. It was the scariest thing I ever did and ever since then the fear that I'd broken my relationship with God has haunted me, but I still believe I did the right thing, it's just that fear is still there. Thank you for this exposition of scripture! I've read this verse so many times, but didn't really understand it. I really need to believe that God loves me and His love will cast out that fear of failure. ❤
Thank You brother for this Timely and needed message for the TRUTH of God . Everyone has had a Love issue for many years and Reasons, but you summed it up. Thank You.
Wow Thanks for this Mark. I was just having an anxiety spiral about nothing, so this was right on time. I always thought I’m just not doing enough praying etc or even comparing myself to other believers who seem to just have no fear. As I reflect I can see It’s really hard for me to receive Gods love, and even the love of those around me. I’m praying I learn to soon, because it’s a bit rough. Anywho sorry for the long message, I appreciate these videos ☺️ they are always very helpful.
The one that pulled me out of my depression was remembering Matthew 11:29-30 “take my yoke upon you and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
What an awesome help to me. I never in 40 plus years as a Christian realized this truth. I knew the verses, and yet always saw my walk as measuring up to God. Now I understand these verses. Thank you and thank you Lord. Subscribed
You sir, are a very gifted teacher and communicator. Thank you for this liberating and life-transforming message. I want to embrace this on a daily, even a moment-by-moment basis. Keep bringing these wonderful truths.
Understanding fear came out of nature (spirit of fear). Renewing the mind to the Christ that is in every born again believer is deliverance for the soul/mind. Delivered in spirit, being delivered in soul and will be delivered in body 👏🏼
Dude. This is simply eye-opening. I pray that this comment will be helpful to anyone who reads it. You may be a Christian, and have a lack of knowledge of God's love, or in fact, GOD HIMSELF. For years I have been struggling with legalism and fear of punishment. This eventually developed into anxiety. At the age of 23, I have finally come to the conclusion that I need to heal my relationship with myself. God bless you all.
Living in my aunts basement bc I was so afraid I wasn’t doing good enough as an adult that I caused my own downfall financially, mentally and physically. It was because I tried doing everything myself. God really sat me down since I was a HUGE brat. I’ve been humbled, healed and tamed. No longer do I fear “what if” I’m just like… “Okay Father.” 🖤🤗
I believe that when God intersedes in your life he is showing you how much he loves you. His plan for your life matter.
From the time I was a child I had an unhealthy fear of the supernatural. When I attended a Bible Study, I opened my Bible to 2 Timothy 1:7 and discovered that my fear was not from God, but an unnatural fear. I realized that God’s love provided me the power of a sound mind. I thereafter never had that fear again. God is wonderful!
@@russellgallinat1541 Amen
@@russellgallinat1541 Amen!
Your comment really helped me. Thank you. 🙏🏻
Great testimony! Thank you for sharing.
@russellgallinat1541 me too. I really just saw this fear for what it was this year. I am still asking the Holy Spirit to help me and renew my mind. I always thought I was alone in that fear but since I recognized it, I have met so many people that also has the struggle. I'm so Grateful God is leading me out with the Word of God♡♡♡
My scripture that keeps me sane is:
2 Timothy 1:7
For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power & of love and of a sound mind. Being raised in a home with a mentally ill mother, I was always afraid. When I found this verse, probably as a pre-teen, I held onto it & have continued to grow with this verse thru the years. Praise God!
Amen. Thank you Jesus
One of my Go twos! also..LOL Im an adrenaline Junkie, When my Tummy starts to turn, this is what I try to remember.. God did not make me a Woosie! LOL
My beloved husband and me chose this one for our marriage ❤- sooo encouraging and positive.
Your "beloved one" is not yours,,. He is the child of God. You were created to prevent the manchildren from killing each other. God wanted lots of children(sons). So they had to have a scapegoat, a whipping boy to abuse. Otherwise they would kill each other. They were created in God's image. God knew that they would,. He created woman as a convience. Convenience. Pray that he allows us to dissappear at death. Otherwise we will rot in hell for their sins.
@@NormaShaffer-q3xHave you been binge-watching the Handmaid's Tale again?
God healed my severe anxiety and depression and I’m forever grateful!! 🙏🏼❤️✝️. God also gave me the spiritual discernment to keep me free from depression and anxiety. That includes being very intentional about what I do, what I listen to, what I read, what I watch, what I think, etc. Meditate on God’s word, read the Bible, read Christian books, attend Bible studies, attend church, watch or listen to online sermons, sing worship music, and fill your life with the good things of God. Also, be a servant to others, focus less on yourself and more on how you can help others. God bless!
@@Michelle-zz7no such good advice. All the things you mentioned help drive fear out and replaces it with God’s love for us in Christ Jesus. I love listening to “Christian Praise Worship Radio” at LIVE 365 online radio network. It lifts my spirit every time without the constant interruptions of DJs or commercials.

Thank you for this great advice I will follow this as best I can I had already started to delete certain apps n things off my phone as they serves no purpose I will continue on
@@spiritman-em4qr Feel that, too. I knew the love but I just didn't see myself as loved by accepting I'm flawed but God Is Willingly to guide and fix me if I allow HIM.
If anything, I've been far too focused on serving others, and not looked after myself properly.
I was saved in 1989, but in the early hours of 4/19/17, I came to know the love of God. I was exploding with anxiety at 4 am, wrestling with the God I feared. The Holy Spirit came into my room in a special way, like nothing else I had experienced. It became a place of love and peace. The moment was very marked, very tangible. Anxiety completed flowed out, and God's love flowed in. I cried as I embraced my Father as I never knew Him before. It has changed my life to this very day. Praise and glory to God forever!
Amen!+

Fear and anxiety have been following me and my family down through the generations . My prayers always ask Jesus to heal me and my daughters anxiety and depression, Amen and Amen, Thank you for this.
You are healed when you keep seeking Jesus first every day .. how you start your day , what you watch , what you see , what you listen to, what you read , whom you hangout with , what you consume.. All has to do with how the fear and anxiety will set it .. We open doors for the enemy to come into our world by living of the world... There's a reason why I God tells us to not be conformed to this world but to be transformed in our minds by being Born Again unto Jesus , finding a great church and church family, join Bible studies , listen to and sing worship music ,
volunteer work, prayer 🙏🏽 and seeking Jesus daily !!!
God has got you when you stay in the narrow path .. Through Jesus .. 🙏🏽🤍💒📖😇
Gods love is found be seeking Him daily ... 😊
I’m 60 years old and I’ve been saved for over 40 years (thank you Lord Jesus) but I’ve only recently begun to really view God as my Heavenly Father who loves me. I had a head knowledge of that but not a heart knowledge. This has made a huge impact upon my walk with Christ and my mental health!
@@patrickbrowne4606 Well said. I truly believe God is calling us into REAL relationship with Him.
I’m 57, I asked Jesus into my heart when I was 14. I’ve gone to church most of my adult life but didn’t really start building my relationship with Christ until the last couple of years. I’m praying for you brother!
@@TheValiantForgePodcast Thank you brother. I’m praying for as well.
Nothing is as rewarding and satisfying as knowing God is with you always. So you talking to and with Him, joy and sorrow, life is rapped up in Him because we are in love with each other. Wow!! So exciting
THANKYOU
I'm born again but have been suffering from severe panic attacks for year's. Since covid, it has been so so frequent. I take medication. I am so grateful for this eye opener! I'm tearing up! God bless you all
Anxiety meds make anxiety worse in the long haul. They do more damage than good. Perhaps see a holistic doctor to get to the root of it. Most importantly, ask God to bring you peace. Magnesium oil helps a lot. There are many natural ways.❤❤❤
Remember that Our Father in heaven is a wonderful Physician. In the same way as we must take all our medication to ensure our health, so in the same way we must be full of him to ensure our spiritual health. If you take half the medicine then whatever is plaguing you will come back, so it must be with our Heavenly Father. If you don’t fulfill yourself with him then you won’t have his full blessing and forgiveness that you receive in walk with the Holy Spirit. If you want to ensure your spiritual growth Jesus is the only way. He said I am the way the truth and the life nobody can see the father except through me. So we must as Christian’s take our spiritual medicine that our Father gives us through his word and through his son Jesus.
@@tina-mariecrocker5687 I agree with this comment 💯!! I suffered since childhood with depression and anxiety and since I had my encounter with the Holy Spirit, I have been drawn to read the Bible daily and focus on His promises!! I thought I'd never feel peace or true joy without medication or something external, but the WORD of God engrained into our mids literally and physically Heals us!!!!! We need to take in the word of God the same way we take in our food. God bless ❤️🙏❤️🙏

I have been in despair and hopelessness lately. Strong attack from the enemy. This message hits deep and yes love is God and the absolute opposite of fear
Praying for you ❤
Thank you so much! I have wondered why I could not stop worrying and stop "performing" without feeling loved. After 85 years of life I can finally feel loved.
Praise God. U are loved !!
What do you mean by performing ''Im laughing so hard with tears in my eyes because of how that and your whole comment sounds!'' Exactly what do you mean by performing and feeling really loved?!?! Big smiley face! And your profile picture just fits it so well too! LOL!
Nothing deeper and more powerful than God's love. God IS love.
I have no words how much this means to me!! I have thought about this so much lately. THERE IS NO FEAR IN LOVE. The most powerful sentence in the whole bible.❤
I know, right!
Thank you brother I needed that word so much. I know God's loves me but I struggle with lots of anxiety, fear and troublesome thoughts. I guess I should consider the depths of God's unconditional love for Him. God knows that I love and still suffer so much. Very helpful lesson. God bless 🙏

"KNOW God no fear, NO God know FEAR"
THIS TRULY RESONATES WITH ME. THANK YOU.
I can't tell you how much this means to me. I am riddled with fear in all areas of my life. I'm a perfectionist with a rejection mindset. I live in almost constant anxiety and depression on some level. I feel like I am living in a horrible spiritual, emotional, and mental cage and it's taking away my will to live. Addictions have always been my escape. I read this verse, and I interpreted it as meaning "I need to have perfect love in my heart so that there's no more fear" or "I have to muster up all the love in my own heart myself in order to drive fear out". And my following thoughts were "I can't do this... There's no love in me. I can't generate it and drive fear out. I'm too weary, too worn out, too hurt, too skeptical". But now that I know the verse is about GOD'S love for me, I will work on this. I'm going to look into your other resources too. I just became a Father myself last week. And I, like God, loved my son before he was even born. I want to live in a place where I am safe and secure in God's love all the time. My sins and past life has made me reinforce these feelings like I'm a loser and I'll never do anything right. I try to think of things I can do to make myself better but I have no drove to do them because of fear. Fear of failure, fear of rejection. I reject myself because I don't see what's lovable about me. And I don't see meaning in anything. I get so sick of everything and I am never at peace. It's so hard. I'm sorry I'm letting so much out and I don't ever do this but your video made such an impact and I need to keep exploring this. I know I need to evangelize too and I need to spread the Gospel, but I can't even do that because it turns out I don't even understand God's love because I don't even live in it - I live in fear. I know God is real and I do love him, I just hate my sinful nature and I hate this sinful world. Thank you so, so much for this. I will learn and grow into God's love. You may have just turned my entire life around brother. Hallelujah, praise God 🙏

For me the Eucharist takes all fear & anxiety away. If I am going through a difficult time, I just attend daily Mass and take the Eucharist. Is the only thing that has saved my mental health.
Torment is exactly where I am right now. I sin and sin and either the way the Bible is written, or my interpretation of the passages makes me feel like I am going to hell. I can read one thing and feel great and then read something else and just feel like it is pointless. I truly believe Jesus is my Lord and Savior and that he died on the cross for my sins and rose from the dead for my eternal life. I am letting him down and it is driving me crazy!
I’ve been in your shoes John. For many years I had OCD thoughts of going to hell because I wasn’t perfect enough. It is Satan trying to convince you that you’re not really saved. Don’t believe his lies. Ask God to help you have more faith. Christ created you in His image, called you, and loved you first. 🙏🏻
Satan leaves you alone when he’s got you. When he knows he doesn’t or is losing you, that’s when the temptations , doubts and fear intensifies
Wow. Wow. Wow. I'm going through the healing journey and it's so tough. Thank you for sharing this, SO needed this Truth! Thank you, Lord, for your love!! Clinging to Him and learning that I'm safe in Him
me too. hope your doing better
I have a deep wound that is caused by religion and performance based Christianity. Every time when it comes to following Christ it stirred up fear, worry, unworthynes and a lot of pressure. It was not something that brought me nearer to god and made me love him more, instead it caused me to run away from him…
I always thought that I had to give up my deepest needs and desires because that was the interpretation of taking up my cross and follow him. It was so toxic..
I can relate to what you're saying.
You’re not alone with the hiding part! I used to constantly run away when I faced issues… especially old ones.
We simply need to receive his love and grace and not be afraid of Him. Reverential fear of God is what I’m clarifying. Matthew 11:28-30, “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”
I hope this helps! 🤍🤍
same, due to some misunderstandings, how we're expected to fast n pray, in which I, many times because I kept hearing that if I don't, I'll die, and it caused a lot of distrust because of it.
My dear brother or sister in Christ, I truly understand how you feel because I was that way too until the Spirit of God helped me to realize that it was not God’s requirement, it was the requirement imposed on me by my family, culture and religious people who also got it wrong. God is love. His only requirement is to love Him with all our heart, mind, and soul and to love our neighbors as ourselves. I am getting better and when that religious and performance thoughts start creeping up, I know it is not from God and I don’t have to give in to it. I remind myself that God loved me first even before I was born and I give all the burden to God in my quiet one minute pray. “ God because You created me, I only listen to you and nothing else, so align my thoughts and thinking with yours” May God bless you and hang on to hope.

See Colossians 2:14-15, See it in King James Version & Amplified Classic or Amplified. The spirit of fear & its team of anxiety, worry ,doubt, unbelief who enforces pressure against us to get us to be emotional, leaning on our own strengths & power, trying to figure things out. Gods Heart The Word & Power is active working for you when you come to Him & say I need your help. Your Words speaks to me saying this I receive & believe it. This is FAITH WORKING & The Holy Spirit will now help you because you acknowledged your need to Them ( The Trinity) & They Will do what They Have spoken to us.This is where time & Trusting God comes in. All Believers need PATIENCE & ENDURANCE. When attacked acknowledge God ( The Trinity) then agree the enemy has been defeated at the Cross( remember Colossians 2:14-15) & Tell God you know He will deliver you, because you stand with Them against a lying, intimidating defeated enemy. We’re not trying to get victory THE CROSS & WHAT JESUS DID SOLIDIFYS THE ALREADY DONE VICTORY. Be Free Beloved Child of The Most High God.
Excuse me, I’m just like you. I got saved for like 2 years now and about a month and it was great but God allows things to happen in our lives like things that can steal our joy and peace to prune us, to show us His love, to reveal things in us. And I’m going through both deliverance in church but more so self deliverance. It takes courage, believe in the love of God, He has not rejected you, He only wants good things for you. Oh I have so much to say but you get the gist of it right? ♥️ Jesus loves you so much.
@@kemmygc I am aware that God wants us to go through things. It was good to come on here to realise that others are also going through things. Christians around me always seem to cope better than I do which doesnt help me. Have a good day.😀

Praise the Lord you found it. He works in mysterious ways. He's just so good.
When my first wife left me, after 18 years of marriage, I was traumatized and searching for meaning. I opened the bible to a random page and found this passage. I couldn’t believe the profound nature of this message and have never forgotten it. It told me that I was suffering because I still had not learned to let go, trust God and to seek His love above all else. Once you learn to understand that God loves you, that eternal life is waiting for you, everything else in this earth becomes easier to bear. It doesn’t mean that you don’t mourn the loss of a wife, husband, child, etc. this will happen. But, with lots of prayer and focus on Christ, it means that you won’t be overcome with dread about the future.
this is so true

I just had a bad encounter in my current church with someone and your words are reminding me that if she was truly loving, she would have handled the situation differently. Sometimes I blame myself for others actions. I need a new church because almost everyone acts in this way where I currently attend. I pray that I can find truly loving people in a loving church somewhere.
“For GOD was reconciling the world 🌎 unto Himself,not counting our sins against us”!😊👏
Thanks for the explanation. I did not understand it at first. Towards the end I remember a childhood incident when I was 7 years old. Our house was destroyed by a storm and the insurance did not pay because it was an act of God. Since then I had this fear of god. When I miss going to church on a Sunday I thought he would punish me. So like you said I was always scared he punishes me . Wow this sure has cleared up something in my mind I’ve been carrying around for over 50 years. ❤❤❤I I’ve been up all night can’t sleep go on you tube and find this. Thank you Heavenly Father and Mark. Love was definitely missing in my life since I was small. I seemed to have a problem with receiving . I just realized my life has been a battle with fear because of missing love. ❤️ I am so blown away by what has just happened to me watching this video. I am good at giving and showing love but I have not felt or been able to receive. Sorry for the long text but I needed to get this out. Love and best wishes to everyone watching this❤
@@DJMikeron Thank you for sharing this. How may I best help a Christian person that is not receiving love? How can I quickly identify in a fellow Christian the characteristics that they aren't receiving love? What were you like when you weren't receiving love? What does that look like on a daily basis with a person struggling with this? I ask these questions to be able to learn about this, to help others out of this situation if I am able to identify it quickly in them, to help them recover from this. Thank you for your post.
I am saving Mark's videos. I have been a Christian for many years and Mark's videos have helped me so much. You know why? Because he can relate to us. What a blessing. I am seeing God as love and understanding it for really the first time. I know He loves us by giving us Jesus as Savior, but, toknow God as the epitome of Love is now so important to this old man.
You are my sibling in Christ and I love you and you matter. Give all of those 50 years to Jesus and lay your face at the foot of the Cross. His Grace and Love will heal you. He went through all that you've been through and took the punishment and wrath that was for you.... why? He did it all so you would See His Perfect Love as He called you by name. Your name. Your name He was whispering and focused on as He took every lash and laugh. There could never be a greater Love for you than that. He gave up everything so that you will have everything...and fear is under His feet. It doesn't exist in the spiritual world anymore for Believers. The demons will always throw 'thought' darts but have a Scripture handy on a note or phone to see quickly... it will get worse before it gets better... they see a change /move towards God and will fight you where you are vulnerable. Don't have to feel anything.... just repeat God's Word. He wants you to KNOW there is no fear in Him and if you are In Him... then He is In you. 😃😀. He experienced all of your fear so you never have to. Such perfect love. Hang in there. He will always complete what He starts. You.... are His. 😽😝😺🙏💜
Recently, after meeting with a coworker where there was repentance, forgiveness, & kindness, a fear I had was expelled because love activated my faith, & I was willing to do something that I’d been afraid to do. It was an unhealthy, irrational fear.
In fact, as soon as I saw this video title, I knew I wanted to watch it. It is a part of my testimony that God’s love is transformational-not only my love for God & His love for me, but also His love through me for others. His love casts out fear.✋🏾🤚🏾✋🏻🤚🏻
God’s love is a wonderful boomerang effect for deliverance, salvation, healing, & fearlessness. Selah.🙏🏾🙇🏽♀️
I still don't fully understand how much GOD loves. Its unfathomable that HE loves me despite
Father God please help and heal me from fear and panic attacks and fear of going to hell..
Why am I seeing this 2 years later? I needed to hear it. Thanks brother.
Im.just seen that now. Needs it too. Never too late
I should have seen this two years ago, too!
Displace fear with the love of God. ❤
GOD IS A SUPER NATURAL BEING❤❤
I pray God for Your Love and Peace in my life.
God took away my obsessive tormenting thoughts. Hallelujah 🙌🏻 🙏🏻 Praise our wonderful Father, Our Lord and Saviour.
I fear sleep time as I have been suffering insomnia,, LORD Rest my body.
@@MrsLeo2222 I hear you and can relate 😓 hope we overcome as we pray for each other 🙏
@@normamcdonald8572 I will pray now,Bless you
@@MrsLeo2222 it is most of the time spychological . You need that time to figure out whats on your mind. It can something in your past. Or write it on paper. You see and feel it. Or to a spychologist . For EMDR.
And pray! Your body get rest. Dont be afraid.
@@MrsLeo2222 Psalm 4:8
"In peace I will lie down and sleep,
for you alone, Lord,
make me dwell in safety."
Psalm 23
"The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
he refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths
for his name’s sake.
Even though I walk
through the darkest valley,
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me..."
@@ingela_injeela Amen thank you for this reminder,I have been doing better with the thought patterns the enemy tries to brake me with .
What a NEEDED message in these days! The enemy is so busy keeping people in torment. I pray that everyone around this world will hear this message and that it will SINK IN and set them free.
Praying for all who are going through it and to be set free…I need this also.🙏
Thank you so much! This very topic of ‘trying to love God’ has been on my heart all today and yesterday, weighing me down. I must rest and relax in HIS perfect love for me, and SLOWLY learn to receive it.
❤️❤️😊
Yes, amen!
🙌🏼
This was extremely helpful and just what I needed today. I was at church yesterday and felt the Lord speaking to me during worship and for the first time I really knew that I could trust him in my situation. Your expository teaching on this verse was excellent!! When you said, we know God has our back, that got me because I actually believe it now!! Thanks Mark 💜
Keep hanging on sister. And remember if you do fall Jesus will be right there to catch you.
@@tonypino5415 Thanks for the encouragement!! 💙
@@lindsaygraham9115 We're all battling. I've been through a lot and I'm sure you have too but the Lord is always faithful.
Two years later, yet you’re right on time! Thank you so much ❤
@@TequilaStandifer8888 yes we heard this message and the appointed time to receive it. I did. I so needed it. Anxiety can feel like your gut is on fire and bad enough, accompanied by dry heaves. Fear is behind anxiety like hurt is behind anger.
Same 🫶
Me too. This timing is actually kind of jaw dropping to be honest.
GOD'S timing is always, 'PERFECT!' 😊 ❤
@@marlenelindsey7638 I am sorry you’re experiencing those things! keep this message as your reminder God did not give u a spirit of fear it and none of its relatives belongs to you Anytime they come in your mind remind yourself that there is no fear in Love I know those thoughts will flee from u and even if they come more than once or even a few times stay believing God and I promise you before u know anxiety etc won’t be there and when things happen that would have put u in a state of fear etc you will not react the same because when u believe God and Gods word there is no thought or feeling the so-called enemy can put on you to make u doubt Gods love anymore ❤️
I recently watched a video where they state scientists have found that the area that lights up in our brain when we appreciate something is the same area that lights up when we are anxious. They state that if we can be grateful, it helps curb anxiety.
This is true. Hell is sometimes a creation of the mind.
I used to shine so brightly "the holy spirit " was so bright. Through years of sexual, mental, physical, verbal abuse im dimming... I love my lord and savior he got me through all my pain but im so tired, tired of failing, tired of being misjudged, tired of being laughed at. Im tired
My trauma and emotional neglect and trying to be perfect for avoidance negligent spouse for 46 years and a emotional disturbed mother I don't know what it's like to be loved I don't know how to nurture. I get he loves us but I don't know how to do any of this
He knows this, He is for us, you are enough 💕🙏😊
1. Receive Gods Love
2. How does God see me?
3. Relate to God as my Father
4. Expose my rejection wounds
5. God loves me before I was born ❤and actively receive His love 🎉❤😊
This message came into my feed. Thank you for sharing it.
I am 60 and have struggled with depression and rejection for the majority of my life. I have had trauma in childhood and in marriage. Been divorced for years. Although I have known God I have only been a Christian since 2008. I love the Lord and want to serve Him.
Your message really hit me. I want to learn to accept His love knowing He loved me first!
Thank you many Blessings🙏🏻🙏🏻💕
Have you ever had DV or a***e counseling?
@@AngelinaParker1what's DV or a***e? There's many acronyms I don't know
🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@GodIsLove1John416 domestic violence and abuse
I understand because i’am going through the same things. Praying for you. I believe God will heal our wounds. I too want to serve Him and know Him with all my heart.❤️🙏
Fear is so paralyzing 😢😢😢😢
Thanks Mark. I've recently returned to Christ but have developed a religious spirit based on performance and a fear of punishment. I want to receive God's love today.
May God bless you. Eye has not seen, ear has not heard what God has ready for those who love him. Speak, Talk to your Father brother. Just as you wrote it here. Open your heart, in all honesty to Him and just tell him everything. He loves you and wants Communion (communication with you). The good, the bad and the ugly; he desires to hear it all beloved. Be blessed 🤍🙏🏾
We can face our fears with the love of God.
We can worry about what might happen if we meet someone, do something, say something, but if we step out, move forward with this reassurance of his perfect love for us, we can meet that situation with love so the fear has to go. Be gone in the name of Him who loves!
I am in mental pain it's major anxiety and fear. Please pray for me. My name is Jennifer. 🙏🏻
I’m praying 🙏 for you Jennifer.
@@oklartse How are you doing now?
@nrtnrt6676 a lot better than better. I still struggling with bad thoughts but Jesus helps me. Btw I saw him twice in a dream last night. He was floating on a cloud. Thanks for checking on me. 🫂
🙏🏻
Praying for you!
Thank you Father, that no weapon the enemy forms against us shall prosper because we are covered by the blood of Jesus, and you have put all things under his feet. Because Christ dwells in us, we declare that greater is he that is in us than he that is in the world.
Amen
Mark, I don't know if you will still read this because this video was made a while ago. I came across it out of absolutely nowhere, it just popped up and I had not been watching any videos on mental health at all. I am suffering at the moment from crippling anxiety. I did not think God would see me as you described and I could never get anything right, my prayer, Mass attendance, anything. It is a torment. But now I will pray to feel Gods love and ask for His help. Before I thought my anxiety was a punishment for everything I had done wrong or had not done right. Thank you for this wonderful video, your descriptions was like everything I have felt. I don't feel as hopeless, I can ask God to help me now instead of feeling I deserved everything I was feeling.
@@LittleRobotNX01 same here. This just showed up and I was drawn to it. Four hours sleep and same experience as you, crippling anxiety 😥 I Pray this helps us 🙏
@@northcountrygirl4879 Thank you so much for your message, same here! Four hours sleep, really, really bad day and Mark's video pops up. My heart goes out to you too, we have to believe what Mark has explained and said, God loved us first. ♥ Just keep telling yourself that. I think Mark has other videos that will help too. 🙏
@@LittleRobotNX01 stay strong 💪 all the very best to you 🥰
@@northcountrygirl4879same here need sleep!!!😓
God doesn't punish those of us who are in Christ Jesus. The law was given by Moses, *grace* and truth came by Jesus Christ. Our Father will lovingly chastise us. Holy Spirit will guide and teach us, but those of us who have received Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior are redeemed from the curse of the law. Jesus tells us who are wearied and burdened to come to Him, to cast our cares on Him. Believers are highly favored, deeply loved, and irreversibly blessed!! Nothing can separate us from His love. Are there consequences to sin? Of course! Overeating and smoking will damage our bodies (the temples of Holy Spirit). Infidelity has natural consequences, and so on and so forth but God doesn't "punish" us for our sins. We are forgiven because of Jesus' death and resurrection. Jesus died so we can have life and *life abundant*!! Receive all the blessings that are yours as a co-heir with Christ Jesus. Read the Bible because you want to, because it's God's love letter to you, not because you feel like you must in order to gain His love. Jesus never told anyone He healed "Great is your scripture studying!" or "I heal you because you prayed every day for an hour last month!" or "Healing is yours because you sacrificed chocolate during lent!" Jesus told the woman with the issue of blood, "Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace." Maybe ask Him to increase your faith. He wants you to enter into His rest because He loves you!
Amen, I have had so much trauma. After military and being traffic by a group while in, I was so afraid to come out of my home. It took years of more abuse in home , God started taking those relationships away. all his glory, all his praise. I only fear not being near God. Thank you, thank you for healing this area ,this stronghold of fear. All your Glory, your testament. Selah
My hubby walked in and wanted to know what I was smiling about. This video. That's what. 😊
Amen 🙏🏽. Empowered to face our fears. ♥️
I was sitting in my car when I started this video and the Holy Spirit poured out on me. I am so in love with God. Your words affirm what I have read from the scriptures. God bless you and your household. I pray a hedge of protection around you and your family. May God increase your annointing. May you be a voice of peace and love to many nations. ❤
In Jesus mighty name Lord Jesus Christ in heaven cast out all fear in me n my children and all my family members lives with your perfect love today in Jesus name hallelujah amen
I am renewing my mind, but not without medication, it is unfortunately that for some of us medication is part of our lives. I appreciated very much your teachings.
@@laurenmay2098 Well I was on Lexapro for 20 years. Once you start the antidepressants you cannot just get off them. I believe you have to take care of your diet to take care of your mind body and soul. It has taken me 8 most to stop 20 milligrams of Lexapro. Just took the Leap of faith today and stopped my last 5 milligrams of Lexapro. I will be emotional for about 2 weeks. I will have to check myself and emotions while going thru this last stage. God bless you. I hope you feel better.
@@laurenmay2098 my friend is under medication and I read he might not wean off after 3 months, it has been more than 2 years. I do keep hoping, LaurenMay. my church teaches God heals and I pray it is possible to go off medication.
My problem is "TRUST"💔. I've learned to not trust because I have been betrayed by people that were suppose to love me all of my 71 yrs. of life.
Thank you so much for this. God bless you and anyone who reads this❤️His love is perfect, and through Him we can do all things!!
Praise be to GOD our HOLY FATHER and CREATOR. Thank GOD for JESUS CHRIST our SAVIOR
❤❤❤ The HOLY SPIRIT is always with us.
Woke up today with this scripture repeating in my head.
So weird.
Big hugs, very very grateful for your videos!
Nothing helped me so much to understand fear and anxiety more than this. Amen God bless.
LORD PLEASE HELP ME.. i need YOUR WORD OF HEALING.. please touch each and everyone of us.. please please LORD🙏❤️🙏
I can't describe how much each time I am amazed, when I read EXACTLY what I'm struggling with or need to learn.. HE KNOWS us. It's such love and help and guidance.
1 Corinthians 13:4-5: Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, and it keeps no record of wrongs.
As 2024 comes to a close. I'm still learning to be loved by God as a Father. ❤
Thank You, Abba Father, Abba Daddy, Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior, and Holy Spirit, Ruach, Breath of God, for Loving me Unconditionally the way that no human being can ever love me. You never disappoint me, Lord. You Keep Every Promise! I need not fear at all about anything! I love you, too, Lord!🙌🙏❤
Praise the Lord for His goodness and mercy. This message is greatly needed in my life.
"He who began a good work in you, will be faithful to complete it." 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤ Thank you for teaching and encouraging us, dear Brother.
Super great message. Yes, when I read that “ we love HIM because HE first loved us”, that was the game changer for me,a really pivotal moment in time for me. Super amazing
At last, the teaching I've needed but didn't know was out there. God's heard my cry for help with things like hyper vigilance. PTSD and OCD.
This is a blessing to my life 😌
Yessss!! Thank you, Jesus!! The perfect love of God has completely transformed everything about me - EVERYTHING!!! ❤️✝️❤️✝️❤️✝️
I experienced a separation from God because of fear after walking with Him and serving Him for 25 years. About 6 years ago, I chose to do something that made me FEEL like I was failing and walking away from Him even though I knew I had Biblical grounds for doing what I did. It was the scariest thing I ever did and ever since then the fear that I'd broken my relationship with God has haunted me, but I still believe I did the right thing, it's just that fear is still there. Thank you for this exposition of scripture! I've read this verse so many times, but didn't really understand it. I really need to believe that God loves me and His love will cast out that fear of failure. ❤
I hear very few things on TH-cam that really resonate with me but this message of love did it for me. Thank you.
Same here…👍
Thank You brother for this Timely and needed message for the TRUTH of God . Everyone has had a Love issue for many years and Reasons, but you summed it up. Thank You.
This didn’t start with me. It started with him. Powerful
I need to hear this now. Thank you 🙏 ❤
Wow Thanks for this Mark. I was just having an anxiety spiral about nothing, so this was right on time. I always thought I’m just not doing enough praying etc or even comparing myself to other believers who seem to just have no fear. As I reflect I can see It’s really hard for me to receive Gods love, and even the love of those around me. I’m praying I learn to soon, because it’s a bit rough. Anywho sorry for the long message, I appreciate these videos ☺️ they are always very helpful.
This video on 1 John 4:18 was SO powerful and eye-opening for me too!! 💥
4:04 Amen. Truth 🙌 Stay away from me Satan Beast/evil bandwidth.
The one that pulled me out of my depression was remembering Matthew 11:29-30 “take my yoke upon you and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
What an awesome help to me. I never in 40 plus years as a Christian realized this truth. I knew the verses, and yet always saw my walk as measuring up to God. Now I understand these verses. Thank you and thank you Lord. Subscribed
My exact experience. And also subscribed.
You sir, are a very gifted teacher and communicator. Thank you for this liberating and life-transforming message. I want to embrace this on a daily, even a moment-by-moment basis. Keep bringing these wonderful truths.
I know this scripture. People often remind me of it. I still struggle with depression, anxiety, and fear.
@@margrose5 Yes. You have not cut out toxic people from your life. That is my problem, too. Do you have a healthy lifestyle?
Understanding fear came out of nature (spirit of fear). Renewing the mind to the Christ that is in every born again believer is deliverance for the soul/mind. Delivered in spirit, being delivered in soul and will be delivered in body 👏🏼
