Honestly coming out of a spiral/spin cycle can feel like a hostage situation, happening internally. I hold myself captive with fear, yet the voice of reason gently invites me to let go, and step out of the paralyzing fear.
Thank you so much for your work. Just came about your videos as my intro to Christianity has been a nightmare due to fear and still being centered in my old self. I'm going through your basics for the Gospel, identity in Christ and then the one about victim mentality. I think I've been rooted in all of these. 😅 I look forward to working with God and doing serious work in my heart.
I just wanna know at all times 24/7 I am loved by him and saved. It’s difficult when you can’t feel it. A lot of abandonment trauma. There is no condemnation in Christ, we love Him because He loved us first. A newborn baby doesn’t have to do anything to be loved it just is that’s how the father sees you.! You are worthy not by works but faith alone in Jesus.
I heard a preacher once say that when we come to a very hard bit of scripture that we can't understand, treat it like eating a fish dinner. When you bite into a bone put in to the side of the plate.
a few months ago I was at work (I’m a housekeeper for a hotel) and I was dealing with scrupulosity at the time, the devil knew this, and decided to be a smart a**. as I was dusting I accidentally hit the on button for the radio and a Jay Z song starting blaring, and it turned on right at the part where he yells “JESUS CAN’T SAVE YOU” needless to say I spun out the rest of that day. but I rebuked it and now I look back and laugh at satan’s sad attempts to hurt me
I seriously suffer from obsessive thoughts and compulsions. It aint pretty. Its nice to know God knows how messed up I am mentally and I hold hope He doesnt hold me accountable for all those failings.
I'm grateful for your channel man, this has been such a hard battleground, this area is like the tarkov of warzones its a hardcore broken buggy mess heh(for non gamers its prob the most hardcore fps game made). I just pray to keep moving forward, and keep the promises of God in mind, and His love and grace and mercy, even in all the anxiety and fear and heart break. For those that worry bout salvation, like the fear of being reprobate a thing that really helped me is to remember that those kinda people hate God and dont wanna retain Him in their knowledge, those people can't believe, the fact is if you love God, if you wanna retain Him in your knowledge, then thats the evidence you're not, or the evidence of salvation is another struggle, is simply as like look if you believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, if you believe on His finished work on the cross, you believe in His death burial and resurrection then thats the evidence that you're saved, and also you can't lose your salvation but hey look the reprobate cant believe,so if you believe and you're not lying not the intrusive thought accusation, but you believe well then there you go thats evidence in itself, hope this helps, thanks be to the Lord for all He's done
Mark, You make me laugh so hard. I love when You keep showing Me how silly it is to be so serious about our thoughts. Thank You so much🙂
👏that a big thing I’ve learned form mark too

I needed this video today. Thanks for posting it. Distortions are the main issue with me.
I just wanna know at all times 24/7 I am loved by him and saved. It’s difficult when you can’t feel it. A lot of abandonment trauma. There is no condemnation in Christ, we love Him because He loved us first. A newborn baby doesn’t have to do anything to be loved it just is that’s how the father sees you.!

That’s good advice, thanks
True doctor 👨⚕️ thank you 🙏 this takes time and working threw it don't stay in it .. thank you

Nailing it on head for me …..
You or somebody should write a song about standing your ground based on Ephesians 6!

Scrupulosity has been following me, and it's debilitating. This journey is difficult.
This Is no journey, for it is a JOURNEY. I've gone about 5 weeks free and now it's come back. 😢
