It’s 2020.... and I am grateful for this video. It’s been a month now and I have been suffering with terrible, aweful Intrusive thinking. It has weakened my relationship with God, because to me I can’t talk to him how I would want to, and how I use to. It took me by a great surprise, because I do love Jesus. I was always at peace with him and just loved feeling his presence. Now I’m tormented with my unrighteous thoughts everyday. My head literally pains me everyday because I’m constantly at war. As soon as God opens my eyes in the morning, I’m at war. It’s been very overwhelming. It’s like I cannot control my mind anymore. This video continues to give me hope for my healing. God bless you bro.
@@ChildofGod77500 Hi brother Praises and Glory only be to God, who has been helping me and showing us mercies. I have far improved. Continue to fast, pray and trust Jesus if you yourself are going through this. He is able to deliver you. God Bless
Hi taking every thought captive and making it obedient to Christ Jesus I believe that God knows you even better then yourself he understands these are in intrusive thoughts are not real and try you best to change the narrative and think of praise worthy things and know that God wants you to be still and know that he fights for you the enemies lies do not define who you are and even if it’s difficult chose Joy in every circumstance and thank God for this test because it builds endurance God sees the desires of your heart he will deliver you during these times I recommend to listen to when you believe original and awesome God And know that you have already claimed the victory and you will overcome I recommend to read the book of Ephesians and Psalms I. For me I was 14 years old when it started I only knew little about my God but wow praise be to God I know much more about it I will pray for you and know that NOTHING CAN SEPARATE YOU FROM GODS LOVE im so excited for you delivery ❤️
I’m so relieved 😌 and glad that I came across this video, Finally I feel like there are other Christians going through this and I am not the only one. I remember reading the Bible and thinking: how am I supposed to love my neighbor and God when I don’t even love myself. I wish preachers would start there,by teaching us how to love ourselves while Jesus begins and continues to heal our brokenness throughout our life’s.
Thank you, Mark. You’re an excellent teacher. It’s amazing to discover after years of trying to figure out what was missing in me, that it’s really simple. It’s all about LOVE! Receiving God’s love and learning to love myself and ultimately others.
Amen to when you said thoughts take time no matter what, but I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me. Philippians 4:13, not saying you’re wrong, that thought came to mind. The Holy Spirt 🙏
Ty for this video. I love the Lord. These thoughts of unpardnable sin has tormented me. I know I got saved as a child. That I had a thought one day when I saw God do something good. The enemy wants to destroy us. Please pray for me. I'm praying in June I will have the payment for your help, but I know God is helping me
This is soooo spot on I was an addict alcoholic cocaine and alcohol for many many many many many many many years started at a very young age 14 untill 28 I'm now 34. My dad was an alcoholic in attic does wall my whole childhood. well God bless sweet dreams praise God he is clean and sober today and has been for many many many many years and has helped me tremendously helped me thanks Play Jesus Christ God I love you amen But I've always had an obsessive-compulsive brain and my OCD is just been out of hand and my anxiety has been out of hand ever since I've been sober and I don't know what to do about it and this video just helped me tremendously I am working hard on rewiring my own brain and that's truly what it boils down to. Mine are all extremely fearful intrusive thoughts of people losing people exedra we got to do the work fear is not real or thoughts are not real to delusions and we need to realize that focus on the ones we don't want and replace them and just constantly do it .god bless you always amen. 🙏😊❤️ it's easier said than done but it is possible and I love your videos I'm glad I found you today 😁 I was obsessive compulsive lie praying throughout the whole entire day and night and it just never felt like I was praying right and never felt like and I was just I thought I got the prayer off my chest and it was me pray about people not dying that are perfectly fine and I'm terrified that they're going to so I don't pray about them I had to finally talk to God and say I can't do this anymore. God is a loving good God and he understands if you want to stop praying about certain things it's best we do it we're just using these prayers to feed our obsessive-compulsive fears in our minds and even though we're praying it's still making the thought stronger. Like I said again God knows and he loves us we do not need to pray on these things anymore that's where your trust needs to come in God knows us better than we know ourselves and you will understand. I still pray once a day right now that's it because I don't want my face in my fears getting in the anymore it was relentless it would just not stop and I am doing my best to heal and break free and I know God is on my side and I know I do not need to pray on these false fears that's all they are as false fear it's awful being trapped in fear you have no peace no joy you're literally a prisoner in your brain mind body heart Soul and Spirit. And I know sweet Jesus Christ God does not want that for me or anyone else fear is nothing more then the enemy false fear completely. Thank you again for these amazing videos God bless us all always thank you sweet Jesus Christ God we love you amen, ❤️🙏❤️🙏
Thank you so much for this teaching! Much appreciated, Mark!! I was wondering if your overcoming anxiety disorders training would be available again? I see that the link the description box no longer works.
Thanks so much Courtney. I am in the midst of redeveloping all that material into new and even more helpful in how people can experience freedom. Please stay tuned to our mailing list. More to come!
Hi Mark! I have listened to this video several times; thank you for making this and providing this information. Question for you; I know you say to break agreement with addictions - is this a continual process? I have been dealing with intrusive thoughts for over a year now and I have been struggling with pressure of why I can’t be over this and that I feel that I’m nearly in the same place as I was last year. Also, does it take time to take the power away from a thought? To take thoughts captive? I feel that this seems like a very simple step, but it is the one I find to be most difficult!
I look forward to going further with this subject in a lot more detail. The addiction component is what drives the person to be "obsessive" in the thought. In other words, we become "addicted" in a sense, to the obsession and the compulsion that follows. The compulsion may be an act or it may be rumination or inner arguments. To answer your question, yes, it is a process. I find that it takes a different approach than how we often address other thought problems. Instead of attacking the thought with force, let the thought pass by without feeding what it's saying. Loving acceptance in the midst of the thought is incredibly important, while starving the compulsion. As you starve the compulsion, make room for yourself to experience the love that is missing from your heart. It may be abandonment issues or self-sabotaging thoughts that don't allow you to rest in the love God has for you. We need to see the pressure released off your heart, as there is no pressure in God's world. In the midst of the battle, remind yourself, "It is ok that I am not ok right now. I don't need to do anything about this thought. I am loved, right here...right now." Hope this helps
I suffer from this. Hating myself for my repeated sins. It drains me off my peace. Please pray for my Family and please pray that we be healed from truama and together again. I feel like a failure most days. I'm very in love with the Word of God. I just keep failing to keep myself free of sin. My thoughts have tormented me for years.
Hi Mark. Thank you for creating this video - this gives such insight, understanding and hope! Since you said the best way to overcome a thought was to take away the fear of it, I was wondering.. have you heard of obsessive thoughts creating sensations/arousals in the body because someone is trying hard not to think something, so the body does the exact opposite of what they really want? Could this be overcome the same way you discussed in the video?
Yes, OCD takes a unique approach, where we allow God's love to settle us in the midst of the troubling thought, while not feeding the compulsion...the action or ruminating. The more we are afraid of the thought, the worse it gets. The more we try to push the thought away with force (which is often driven by fear), we can end up making it worse. What we need is the power of love to bring nurture and acceptance in the midst of the thought, and allow it to pass on by. I plan on doing some more videos on this.
Brother I believe you just helped me...in Jesus name.... I can get pass this in Jesus name..... I been on a spirtual journey because I lost control of my mind....I struggled with this ocd... do you do counseling??
I do one on one coaching through Zoom or phone. Check out my help page. markdejesus.com/help I have more resources on OCD too, because that has been a major theme God has worked on in my heart.
Hi Mark! Quick question - is it okay if I have to break agreement with fear, rejection, self pity, etc, more than once? I have been on a journey for awhile and find myself breaking agreement multiple times daily. Wondering if this is ok?
I've done it many many times, which is ok, but be aware of the obsessive pattern. Breaking agreement takes time, so give yourself the space and patience
Thank you, Mark. I think I want more than anything to be free from these kind of struggles.. I want to be sure I’m doing everything right. I know I need to relax and soak up the Father’s love! Sometimes it’s easier said than done when you’re going through these kind of battles

You are not alone. I've been going through this too. It's really hard but I know God will set us free. These videos definitely give me hope.
Has it gotten easier?
