Healing is Not Just a "You and God Only" Thing

[@missadug]

Honestly Mark, you've helped me better than any therapist I've been to in the past. I have purchased ALL of your books!

[@AIOM_Truthblood]

It's obvious YOUR gift is EDIFYING The Body of Christ. Amen. Double blessings to you brother, Mark. "Sanctify them with your truth" It's music to our ears. Jesus is The Lord and The Everlasting hope.

[@mistyflores3176]

I hear that you heal not only for yourself but you heal for your family as well..

[@memoiresieb5395]

This is very helpful. A sober approach to the subject. Bringing together the "deliverance obsessed" side and the "deliverance doesn't exist" side. I realise more and more that personal character is key, and we should strive for the character of Jesus whether you're the deliverance minister or seeking healing. There's too much instant leadership in church, people promoted without exibiting character.

Thank you so much for sharing this, so much of what you shared is what I've struggle with, especially the need to evangelize whenever I go out which caused to much guilt and fear to the point where I hate going out all together because I always fear what God may ask of me which braught about a lot of anxiety. But I've been trying to face my fears and do things I enjoy but it always brings about so much guilt and torment so it's been so hard to move past that. Your videos are so helpful and encourage me to keep moving forward into healing and freedom

[@dadaraquepo9829]

The “need” to evangelize… i feel you

[@HS-tm4xe]

I can relate. 🙁

[@marct.7600]

I’ve learned that you seek God first to evangelize. By seeking Him with all your heart for wisdom as to whether or not you should tell so and so, He (the Spirit) will either permit you or very clearly tell you not to.

💯 agree that you being the only one speaking about these things LIKE this and for these contexts…is greatly concerning. The Church is still very oblivious and not focused relationally in ways that heal trauma, legalism & lack of nurture.

[@donnasantagata7663]

Wow! Did you hit it right! I go through this all the time. I don’t know what freedom feels like. I want it but it feels foreign.

[@aefv8074]

Thank you Mark, thank you Jesus! 🙏 I was born in the church but was too rebel and curious so i am apart of it for the last 22 years, living all the wordly things. Never stoped believing in God and identifying myself as a Christian, but 4 years ago i was suffering in my marriage and that lead me to a spirital awakenig and I've been having a "me and God only" powerfull healing process and it has been amazing. But in the process i distanced myself from family and friends and to the point that i don't know anymore how to go back from loneliness. I am from Portugal and never heard about you before, but today KZbin recommended this video and i can not be more grateful to you and God because this message was 100% for me. Family, friends, church... i am comming back with all force, embrace yourselfs because i bring more love than you can handle 😅 Thank you, God bless you and your ministry ✝️🙏

[@AIOM_Truthblood]

Forgive yourself when you were "in the trauma". YOU ARE SO LOVED. Thank you for sharing your story. It resonates

[@juliayk28]

Mark thank you so much for being so helpful in my journey in healing. I have had only a traumatic life in family, church, and toxic relationships and trauma bonds. I thank God for using you for someone so weak like me. Despite feeling as dumb as a brick due to my parents upbringing me in a dangerous way, I already am feeling better about people and comfortable in myself which I never would’ve thought I could feel safe in. I’ve been abused by every father-male figure in my life and it is hard to trust anyone and pastors. You are very funny and you make it easy and easier to feel like I can have healthy connections within myself, with God, and with others and it feels so great to have this hope! Thank you again, and God bless:)

Dear Mark THANK YOU ON SO MANY LEVELS As one who has been damaged by theology and religion. May Christ always guide you. The HOLY SPIRIT is guiding you . Xx

[@mistyflores3176]

Brother there is a person I was once friends with is doing this exact thing you are referring too! Also he doesn't believe that God has the power to keep His SAINTS saved. I tried to correct him but he became hostile and brought many against me. It was heavy.

[@unconditionallyloved.8780]

This video was very helpful. Your ministry has been a big part of my healing journey. I appreciate you🙏🏼

[@karendorsey8153]

That is so true that they tell you that there’s an open door that’s why this happened and you go for 10 years trying to figure out what that means

[@ajroseyy9991]

"We look for life in places that do not satisfy." Wow. Yes. And the distinction between legalistic and Jesus-centered perspective with the clubbing example was so interesting. Asking why behind our actions and seeking an explanation is much harder than continuing to outwardly perform. But I think healing is in asking why and seeking to understand the answer. And maybe sanctification is closer to healing than it is to doing more things to be holy or set apart. Thank you, Mark.

[@HS-tm4xe]

[@ParaísoPerdido-23]

39:28 This is one reason I've always felt monasteries and convents that shut themselves in /keep anyone not of "them" out are wrong and almost sacrilegious. It's all about them.

[@ThePolarOpposite]

18:34 I have Bipolar 1 with mixed episodes. I was a victim of a "healing" ministry before being diagnosed. Weird thing how my "demons" would come and go over 3-6 months intervals.

[@yeg8378]

God Bless you my brother in Christ 🙏🙏

[@IamHisHeismine]

One of the biggest problems I have found is the church community really encourages this isolation idea of telling you that all you need is God all you need is Jesus anytime you reach out for anything at all it’s like they don’t even want you there. They just want you to silently go away and not have any relationships with them and just shut up and go pray and read your Bible. So even when you are actively trying to reach out to others and healthy ways and intentionally making sure that you’re not isolating others do it for you and force you into it.

[@LisaWeakley-w9u]

One word. Brilliant.

[@alycia_t]

[@teresahubbard9787]

Mark, I enjoy your podcasts and believe them to be of tremendous help to a lot of modern-day issues faced by people in a stressful world. It is a blessing that you are devoted to the ministry of God and committed to helping others. Being interested in your background, I did look up your biography. I was interested in your educational and professional background, your degrees and professional training.

I have a big problem with isolating myself from everyone including my wife and children.

[@kingdomambassador1904]

So Jeremiah, Elijah and all the other prophets were unhinged... religiously OCD? Being SET APART like the Almighty... makes you polar opposites of the normalcy this video encourages. It's not that simple. It's baffling to many... You will no longer fit into the world's religious norms. Often in isolation, not by choice. You no longer 'fit in' or 'get along with the works of darkness'. The powerful connection experienced with Most High is inexplicably amazing. A true relationship unfolds and is experienced. HE reveals Himself to whom He chooses to. There is no audible voice or physical manifestations but He lets you know... When we have the testimony of His Son and keep His Commandments in all, He is pleased. This is a sweet fragrance to Him, Most Deserving... Praise the 'I AM HE WHO IS AND WHO WILL BE'!! Maranatha, the Aleph and the Tau. Come blessed King of kings! Behold, the Lion of Yahudah returns for His Bride!!! Maranatha!!!

[@jus4kelley]

I think deliverance or healing ceremonies have a place in a Christian’s life; however, if you read the Bible and the biographies of David, Esther, Peter, and Paul, you see them struggling before God intervenes. When the storm winds blow, you need to be able to stand firm. The tree’s roots go deeper when challenged, and not in the times of ease. The OCD develops as a way to protect against further struggles. Hyper vigilance and prepping for the next event creates rituals that we feel will insulate us against the next trial.

[@Wawa-kn8sd]

Mike help, i would go hard with God for a long time. I pray but things only get more harder and i here as a 37yr old living with her parents n dependent on them. Am scared for my future n where ill be. I try to stay in faith but i get overwhlemed with fear and anxiety and i just shut down and my spiritual life goes down till am jus a filcker of light. Then i go back ti sin and i smooth my anxiety with worldy things like drinking and fornication and then i jus want to give up cause its jus to hard

[@kingdomambassador1904]

Hi Wawa That sounds tough but you know what... you're not alone, a lot of us have been there. What worked for me and is working for me is doing what many folks out there would call legalism. In fact when it is loving obedience to His Commandments... living the righteous lifestyle... the righteous way..kingdom standards.... saying no to my flesh ...praying and fasting against the evil inclinations and desires of the flesh; which is a daily fight, the spirit against the flesh. We are told to put the desires of the flesh to death mortify sins out of our lives. He left us instructions on how to live. Seeking that out and doing is not labor, burdensome ... But the children of belial eill think they can't stop sinning and the Word of God is a liar because we CAN NOT stop sinning nor keep the Commandments 👁👁

[@annehortsana2957]

Do not give up on GOD, HE has not given up on you!! Wawa, you are precious!! Do not give up on yourself also. GOD is more than able to help you, share to Him all your pain, struggle, sins.. Let GOD to be The One who comforts you❤

@@winniecash1654 yes, very sad. I believe it’s a terrible crime and while I think Christians should pray for her family, they should also pray for the young man and his family. Remember that Moses and David and even some of the others (both good and bad) were once “on the run” in their own lives. God can still work miracles in this situation.
