I've dealth with OCD issues since I was about 6 years old. I've seen a few counselors over my lifetime of 58 years. And Mark DeJesus is the best counselor for guiding, dissecting, addressing all of the issues surrounding OCD thoughts. I cannot thank you enough for the wisdom and guidance you provide. Thank you Mark!
True
I thank God for Mark.Ihave had OCD SINCE 5-6 also. I AM NOW 65 years old.
Amen!
@@truththatmatters Amen! I believe God is using Mark to speak to me. I’ve struggled with OCD for literally as long as I can remember some of my first memories as a child. I’ve tried medication, counseling and the whole 9 but hearing Mark’s videos really gives me peace and the proper instructions I need to fight this battle along with God’s word. Praise God! Jesus is King
I’m learning how to stop being afraid of the thought. It’s so hard!
"Cannot teach values outside of love". Love equals values.
“Starve the compulsion to write long emails to Mark! “
That was for me lol
I’m sorry brother . I’m working on it !!
All good!
😂
I have been searching TH-cam for a prayers and maybe help for POCD from a Christian perspective. I have learnt alot say in the secular approaches that have helped. But I cannot find prayer videos ?
Also if anyone knows what POCD is because they have experienced it or go in and out of experiencing it like I do you're not alone. Let's trust in God illuminate theses unwanted thoughts in the name of Jesus. 🙏
Thank you for letting God use you and Melissa to help others who desperately need help but have no idea where to start or how! I started your book, God loves me and I love myself. I also got exposing the rejection mindset, experiencing Gods love as your Father and the Heart healing journey. Is there a certain order I need to read them?
Thanking God for using Mark to provide this much needed resources! Continue continue continue.
I pray God blesses you to an absolute overflow. I cried the ENTIRE time I watched this video, because I felt you were speaking directly to me. I’ve dealt with intrusive thoughts since I was a child, and it has intensified over the years. I told God that I’d walk this journey to freedom, no matter how long it takes.
I’m going to purchase every resource you’ve suggested, as I know it will help. I cannot thank you enough for sharing this message. I finally have answers! Thank you, thank you, thank you! God is so good!
Thank you for all you do Mark. It’s much appreciated!
Good afternoon 😃
Hi Mark, for the first 24 years of my salvation I have been terrified to even have fun that is clean. I think that it all stems from the church that I got saved in. The legalism did a number on me. My compulsion is asking God to forgive me every day for anything that I am doing. It is exhausting. I wish that I could listen to every video that you have at once.
After the 24 years went by, I felt free. But then the Lord revealed how much fear that I really have. I am currently in Christian counseling and it is really helping me also. I am also currently doing your training site on I will not fear. Out of all of this, can you suggest the best videos that you have. I know that they are all good. But any other specifics for what I am going through. You are probably going to say, all of them. Please don’t think 🤔 that I am crazy because I really struggle
Thank you so much Mark for the very informative and helpful video, helped me a lot! God bless and good luck!
Thanks Mark !!!
This was awesome!!! Learning and laughing! Thanks mark!
Thank you so much Mark! I’m going to order your books! Never stop teaching! Much love 💕
God bless you! I thank God for you, this was very encouraging!
Thank you so much for this information. I definitely am thrilled to hear this. Making changes about these intrusive thoughts; thank you for helping me to see how to.
Thanks marky
Hahahah
Good info.
Can I talk about people who go to church yet are in denial, won't work on themselves,get easily offended ,selfrighteous selfentitled,narcisstic,distorted thinking and negative interpretations that are not real,they accept false beliefs for ego sake and blame, justify,project their negative feelings,guilt,shame onto others,no humility or remorse for punishment they do seeking revenge,control to build up a false self,look perfect ?
Those people have zero self-esteem and fake everything. They despise themselves as much as they despise the world around them. It’s a protective mechanism and it’s so toxic to be around. Pray for them but concentrate on the Father’s love for you. We can’t control other people’s behavior and will go insane trying to. Let God worry about those folks.
I'm turning 49. Am an only child. Suffering with an over 35 year old addiction to porn. I've believed in Jesus since around 11 yrs of age. Was put on SSI just before leaving high school and have always lived alone and reasonably isolated. I've always wanted a wife but have never been on a date and too afraid to talk to girls mostly. Fear of talking to people in general has kept me from making many friends. I'm socially awkward and humiliate myself. I've never learned to drive a car. Almost no work history. Spent many years in shame and self-resentment convinced I was unloveable. Almost didn't make it out of that pit. Too much to try and tell. In '94 my purpose became to know the experience of Christ. Let's just say considering my ability to overindulge in addiction as well as other hobbies it's been a messy pursuit. '08 was another epiphany time before God as well as this year. I've gone to different churches (on and off) these 3 decades and have caved and recently been seeking "secular" help. At times it feels like such a machine and I grow frustrated with myself. Have suffered extreme panic attacks that God was going to strike me dead and cast me into eternal conscious torment for being worthless. But I know I know Him and that He knows me and the journey continues. I listen to a number of Christ influenced podcasts and have so for many years. Found Transformed You about a year ago. While it isn't all the work God uses it to draw my mind away from the tormenting madness and into His compassionate embrace. I've shared Transformed You with my childhood friend, who has his struggles, and it helps him too. I'm looking forward to when you get into porn addiction. I am so tired of the Jekyll/Hyde dilemma! I'm a long letter clown 🤡. Thank you Mark... Here's the inevitable p.s. This video was good as I can get hammered with pornographic thought when praying and reading the Bible. I've even been led out of such times and into porn use! Then I'm afraid I'm a hateful creep who God doesn't want back. Have gotten rid of internet at home (again) and am planning on getting a web filter (again) on my cellphone. These things haven't held up in the past but maybe this time. I haven't done so in a while, but it always turns out like this when I write this way. Over and out.
Hear my testimony, God broke me from a porn addiction that I was stuck in for a year. I think around 2020 I was stuck in it but God set me free and keeping me free.
Praying for you man. God bless
Praying for you brother. You can do all things through Christ who strengthens you.
Hi Mark,
You make mention that everyone all experiences the same struggles behind the scene, and some are better at faking. I have experienced this at times and it has been very reassuring about how we all share the experience of humanity. However I being somewhat obsessive and anxious at times forget this so quickly. Could you potentially go into this shared humanity/struggle that some of us often think is unique to us when it isn’t. Or do you have another video on this? Thanks :) A
Okay so my runescape theory of drugs is they're like potions.
I deal with contradictory thoughts for years.
I don't want to die
Does anyone else have blasphemous thoughts?
Yes
Yes
Appraoches 🤌🏽 😂
