In my 34 years of existence on this planet as a Christian growing up in the church, not one single other Christian has ever put this into perspective for me. Thank you so much Mark.
I've been under severe depression, anxiety and panic attacks. Ive found Mark's teaching almost at the end of my healing process. I can absolutely connect to what he's talking. His talks are helpful to those who are struggling.
Great Advice Mark! Your relationship with God becomes very real when you move it from your head and into your heart. It took me twenty years of struggle and frustration to learn this. Just reading the Bible wasn’t enough to allow the Word get rooted in my heart. There are four things that have helped me tremendously in time spent with God. 1. Meditating (outloud) on God’s Promises and character. 2. Time spent in worship and praise 3. Stillness before God for extended periods of time. 4. Praying in my spiritual language. This is not formula. Although has been an important part of rooting the love of God into my heart. It will take time, effort and determination to experience God from the inside out. But you will never regret the time you invested in growing to know Him on a heart level.
This is so true. It took me years to realize the 4 points you state in your post. I talk to God now as if HE was my earthly parent. I’m Grateful to God for His promises over my life.
The father and mother wound chapter made me pause and just cry my eyes out. They always made me feel that I was a burden and something was wrong with me
Lauren Ann. I felt a burden also ! I understand your pain! It’s not your fault! We are all worthy of love and respect. Give it to yourself! Our creator loves us! Have a talk with your parents about this with a family therapist!! Do not live with that idea do not let it taint your beautiful self and potential! Build yourself, educate your self and help others who also suffer!!
I only have an intellectual understanding of God's love. But I know that once I receive a true revelation of His love, so many things I struggle with will just fall away. In other words, I'll experience effortless change. I truly want the communion and intimacy with God that we have access to through Jesus' finished work. But it hasn't yet gone from head knowledge to heart knowledge.
Same too - to a large degree. I think this is really worth pressing into (what Mark is talking about).. It's very common, I believe in the church but few people are as honest as you on this..We need to be honest and real to begin with don't we? I believe a lot of Christians have had parents who were hurt and didn't themselves receive the love of God.. Gosh, my Dad was such a hurt, absent man. It's no wonder I had such a poor father experience..this will take time but I believe God knows where we are at!
I never knew what parental love was until I had children of my own. Then I understood more clearly why I felt worthless, like a ghost, invisible. Why I had an eating disorder, why I felt suicidal, then all made sense. I can't begin to explain what a blessing my children are in helping me understand the Father's love. I can see how unusual this is also, since it is so common for parents to be toward their children what unloving person they are based on their own trauma in childhood. I remember saying to myself growing that I didn't want anyone to suffer the pain I did as a child, and that I woukd be damned if I ever treated my children the way I was. When I found myself pregnant with my first child I took conscious measures to not give this child my family legacy. So much so that my husband didn't like the changes and left us when the baby was just 3 months old. He wanted to remain codependent, I didn't. It took years even so for me to arrive at feeling the Father's love. I knew it intellectually, but not at the heart level. I'm still learning. Thank God for His patience, His loving kindness, for not giving up on us. Thanks Mark for letting God use you to help us know His love for us.
Hey, I love your comment, could you share some insights you learned about the father’s love? I’m at this point too, but am a teen, and would love to know his love more 😭😭
Wow! I thought I was the only one... I woke up one morning to a song, Just Like Heaven from Brandon Lake, and God turned it to be about me not HIM! He longs to be with Me and to hear from Me, and he sees me as Perfect (only because of Jesus of course) And just how much love he has for ME! ❤ And this was all really really good advice that I needed! Thankyou for sharing your self and your journey with me!
First of all for the past 3 years I read the Bible from beginning to end 3 times, I confess that I was doing it out of fear so that I wouldn’t “ backslide” ( don’t get me wrong the word still washed me and helped me) but now for the first time I am learning to slow down in my daily reading. And really meditating on the word. Second of all I wept hearing this video and I feel like I constantly have to keep my mind busy with something in the background, until and now I understand that the Proverbs 16:24 are not only to be given but to receive them. I thank Jesus for sending this ministry my way to have a “relationship” and Not a religion with God the Father.
My wife discovered your Channel earlier today, and this if the first topic I clicked on. This is valuable content that will make a difference in my life. Loved the phrase 'Live from love, not for love' Thank you🙏
You’re only the second person I’ve ever heard say that there’s no precedent for praying to Jesus. It’s true. Jesus prayed to Father God, and all New Testament believers prayed to God in the name of Jesus Christ. I talk to Jesus just because he seems more accessible, while knowing he came to make known the Father. So I’ve got growing to do, and I’m happy to be on my journey.
So true. I just timidly told God the other day that it felt like I could talk to Jesus easier than Him. He didn’t say anything but He also didn’t strike me with lightning so *win*. Lol jk but it did feel like He was nonjudgmentally listening. Like, not with sympathy, with actual respect and consideration. I love Him ❤️
It's peculiar when I listen to your videos I feel they're lacking something. Then I realise I don't feel like I've truly been preached to unless I feel told off. Sad.
This is heartbreaking that people feel this way. I have a friend who told me, 'it's not a good sermon unless I feel like they've stepped all over my toes'. 😔
@@bernicerogers2383 it is hard to realize that a lot is were preached to by men who had not let God heal their ego. Domination during preaching has been a recurrent theme - it is refreshing to not feel that way
So sad, that one has to feel stepped on to get significantly preached too. You need to come to the TRUTH that you will never be perfect this side of Heaven, nor good enough this side of Heaven, no matter how hard you try. That is why Jesus had to come. God has left you in the flesh to appreciate what He has saved you from. And He which has Begun A good work in you, will finish it. Where? In Heaven . In the meantime , Love God's love toward you. God really is love. I am learning so much from Mark. All Christians need what Mark preaches. Jesus wants to give you REST.
This is definitely one of my needed videos !!! Loved it especially the bible reading. I’ve started to look for scriptures to go against a lot of the agreements that have popped up in my life! So for example HUGE agreement is “ God is angry at me” so I look for where it says he’s not and he doesn’t turn his back on me and just STICK to that scripture !!! Also ordered the rejection mindset waiting for it to come can’t wait to read it I’m so excited !!!
Thank you for your grace. Toddler mom here of a 2 year old and 4 year old, and recovering from infidelity and ppd. I am so hard on myself and feel like God does not want me. So, thank you for your insight and grace.
In my quiet time, I am, I do that. I have a notebook next to me and there’s so much grace on God I feel like if I don’t write something down mostly it’s about. I don’t know whatever it calls somebody that I needed to call, but I can’t sit and listen so I write it down and I come right back and I’m right back where I was listeningto God
My goodness, Pastor Mark! What a smorgasbord of knowledge & know-how. These are more than merely practical tips...they are actual keys. I have no doubt that my connection to the Heavenly Father will grow stronger. Even my perspective of a father's love...or what it is meant to be...is changing. I thank you! Heavenly Abba bless you & yours. 😊🇨🇦💖
putting this one on repeat-listening.. some of the steps feel like a disabled person climbing a rock wall, but the honesty of your journey & sharing at least points to the rock-holds of possibility.. -thank you-
I just got the book about rejection...so today is the first day of healing...this is good because i try to press into the word and cant or dont feel motivated i get really frustrated...for 10 yrs i woke up in the morning and mechanically spent time with God...thanks mark for the insight
This is the 3rd video of you that I am watching now after praying to JESUS that I want to KNOW Him more and love Him and experience Him for real. So amazing He is truly graciously loving me. ❤️❤️❤️🙏😌
Thank you for this, Mark. This is profound and empowering especially since I've also come from a background of a legalistic church. I'm growing in His love more and more over the years, and it has never been the same; I want more and more time with the Lord. Thank you for reminding me to "reset" when I get into those perfection/performance-based moments with God.
THE BEST I CAN DO WITH BIBLE READING AND PRAYING IS TO PERFORM AND DIG HARD FOR WORDS I THINK GOD WOULD WANT TO HEAR.WHEN I Say praise the lord it feels so fake.I try to thank him for things but it often seems like i;m trying to be polite.I know when gratitude is real.
It does nature is so soothing for many people. I enjoy just watching the sky before it rains. You wouldn’t think that would be peaceful, but it soothes me somehow.
I understand how you feel. Especially if you're like me and you're angry at God for not stepping in when you needed Him the most. I struggle to develop a relationship with God because I feel hurt and betrayed by Him.
@@WheelEstate I think that happens to a lot of us. I can definitely understand. God knows how you feel already. He knows we are human and loves us so much. Sometimes, going through tough situations are a blessing in disguise.

Hello I came across your broadcast last night I I have been a Christian since the early 80s.And I have been dealing with a chronic illness since twenty eighten And in all those years I've never really heard anything about God loving me. But I've been listening to other people and I did come across you and I was just wondering.Do you ever talk about somebody?That's dealing with chronic illness?
If you're a Christian, your relationship with God is not based on how good or bad you are. When Jesus died for you, he died for all of your sins, past present and future. Your sins have been washed away, and when you approach God he sees you as righteous, as righteous as Jesus. Jesus has already taken care of your "wickedness" at the cross. You can run freely to the Father without fear of punishment or guilt. Learn how much He loves you. Perfect love casts out all fear. Ask the Father to help you grow in grace.
What just really kills me is this : people who live openly sinful lives expecting to find some comfort in the love of God. If you are living in opposition to the word of God, you SHOULD have no peace. The whole point of that lack of peace and connection with God is to lead you to REPENT!
The REASON some people live in open sin is bc of LACK of love. You are the type of Christian who murders the spirit of others. Lord, please keep me far from Pharisees

So maybe just maybe Jesus is not somebody to follow in way that we have rules and regulations but somebody who came to show us who we are to God. Jesus is us, Jesus showed us exactly who we are to God. He is the mirror we need. There is a study with how parents mirror their children to develop the ego in a healthy way. If u grew up with abuse ( like I did) then ur ego is dysfunctional. Let Jesus mirror who u are to God the father. And, maybe don’t let ur own people ( parents, church) kill you. Jesus was killed by the hands of his own ppl, but his father raised him up. We consider him smitten by God but he was smitten by us. The Fathers love for Jesus and for us prevails, if we with our will, will be quickened and receive.
@@Tass3030 Following Jesus is not about rigid rules or regulations, but about living according to the commandments of love that He shared with us.

Dude. I struggle so bad with this. I'm always trying to "figure something out" and it drives me crazy. Is God's love the #1 thing we should focus on?
God's love is the foundation of your relationship with Him. Learn how much He loves you. Also learn about His other attributes. His faithfulness, grace, mercy, forgiveness, etc.
How about if you haven't read the entire bible? Is it still okay to read from a passage that I'm currently struggling with?
Hello I came across your broadcast last night I I have been a Christian since the early 80s.And I have been dealing with a chronic illness since twenty eighten And in all those years I've never really heard anything about God loving me.
But I've been listening to other people and I did come across you and I was just wondering.Do you ever talk about somebody?That's dealing with chronic illness?
🕊️
More Christians and non Christians need to learn about it!
What is the membership cost? Does Mark do counseling ? He talks about boot camp and cost
Where is the prayers that you pray for people I don't see them in here and you didn't mention it in your video❤
How to want to connect to God's love when you feel like you are too wicked for God and feel like I'm not good enough to want to feel God's love?
You're Not beyond God's Love or reach. I'm sure of this.
If you're a Christian, your relationship with God is not based on how good or bad you are. When Jesus died for you, he died for all of your sins, past present and future. Your sins have been washed away, and when you approach God he sees you as righteous, as righteous as Jesus. Jesus has already taken care of your "wickedness" at the cross.
