Understanding Your Thought Battles, Spiritual Warfare and the Fear Factor

[@tatianainchrist]

Fear literally opens the door to torment

[@margrose5]

It does. I know from experience. It’s unbearable.

[@milliganx2633]

Hello. I have never seen you before. This morning before I got out of bed, I was actually praying on this very subject, and lo and behold, you're who popped up! Praise be to God.

[@lillymedesto]

Learning to not react in fear and instead react in love and stand. It's hard but worth trying and practicing

[@Jesusandmentalhealth]

As a woman, my constant hormonal changes during each month greatly affect my thoughts and these battles you speak of. As someone with Scrupulosity OCD, the hormonal changes that I experience greatly affect this. I would love to see (or even do!) a video that speaks on these hormonal changes that we continually experience and how they affect our thoughts, our feelings, our mental health and how we view ourselves as Christians and how we believe God views us during the more difficult times of the month. As a therapist, I try to encourage my female clients to track their cycles so that they have more of a framework for when their mental health might worsen and how it might coincide with their hormonal changes. Appreciate you Mark!

[@Joshua12346-g]

Hi. I struggle the same thing and I think I am loosing my mind 🥺would love to speak with you

[@bethanyjustine9803]

Such a great comment I wasn’t expecting to see. I have OCD that likes to latch onto whatever it can and I have to remind myself of how much worse it gets around 2 weeks before my period so I can be prepared. I literally feel like I could lose my mind in the blink of an eye. It’s so hard and so overlooked. I think this would be a great talk for Mark and Melissa’s female audience.

[@Jesusandmentalhealth]

Awesome. Thank you guys so much for your comments and encouragement. I'm glad I'm not the only one, though I figured as such! Yes, it is such a difficult time of month when you have OCD. I think the same tools apply in these circumstances just as they do when not in those particular times of month. But it can be that much louder and harder to apply them!! 😞🙏🫂

I’m buying your book and I hope and pray this is the help that I’ve been searching for 🙏🏻 God is never late, He is always on time. Mark DeJesus teachings just popped up on my KZbin feed yesterday and I see his videos are at least 3 years old.

[@jmh8510]

So good! What’s weird is some of us feel more calm in chaos bc we grew up in it. We “like” it bc it feels normal. The challenge is being ok in calm and boredom. I feel energized when there’s an emergency and I bet my blood pressure goes down. I feel chaotic and stressed when there’s “sameness” in my life. I don’t think mark reads comments but I wish he would make a video in this issue 😢

[@elliemathews6884]

Yes as a person who grew up in a home that was only 12,000sq ft with 9 people living in it, my life was in constant chaos and trauma. Quiet and calm seems foreign to me and lonely and empty. It feels so abnormal.

[@Codycreek]

Right there with you. Grew up in chaos. My first career was being able to be calm and level headed in chaos. I did anti terrorism for 12 years in the military. Now being retired medically and having ALL the free time it’s unbearable. Literally unbearable. My mind is all over the place and I feel like Paul in consistently doing the things I don’t want to do, and not doing the things I want to do. You aren’t alone, my friends. Although this can feel like absolute hell and like you’re alone completely.

[@jmh8510]

@@elliemathews6884 do you mean 1200 sq foot home? 12000 would be huge.

[@jmh8510]

@@Codycreek yes, feel like I’m wasting away at times, not being able to focus on goals, follow through with anything. I do have a son with special needs which “feeds” the emergency mode life I’ve lived my whole life. Interestingly, my blood pressure is always elevated, when living prior with all 3 kids still living at home in raging chaos I had perfect blood pressure 😑

[@Codycreek]

@ @ I’m right there with you. I can’t focus or follow through with anything either. I used to live in Vegas but recently moved to a small town, and that has made it worse. The chaos of Vegas helped with it, but now I’m in a town where you can get anywhere in 10 minutes…. I can see how your son can help with that factor. I’ve always been able to find calm in the chaos, but now am going crazy in the calm. The blood pressure thing is wild but also doesn’t surprise me. It’s crazy how people adapt.

[@sunithagirish2139]

[@firebald2915]

I'm in the pruning time of the Lord's gardening. Lots of suckered branches here with Fear. I joined the Navy and they break you away from your past and build you anew. The Navy Way. And I relished the change and consistency. Home, was chaotic and inconsistent. And anger and rage was ever present. The Military brought me discipline and consistency and obedience. It only loved by making me safe within the confines of their rules and laws. Scripture is that way, too. Sometimes not as defined to an exact answer to a question but it has that Power. Fear is hard to break free from. Or is it the plan? Thoughts zoom thru my mind as an Artist disciplined to uptake information to add to the creation. But lots of junk has to be weeded out also. I'm very visual so armor weight is a burden. Heavy. Clumsy. We need a better analogy. David didn't use Saul's armor because it did fit him and hindered his sling use.

[@margaretrobertson632]

Dear Mark I want you to know how much God has used you to help me And many many others I’m sure. I’ve only been through this torment in the past 2 years I did not know so many people were going through this and suffering for many years I pray Gods blessings on you Melissa and your children thank you Praying also for all who are in distress

[@jilli813]

Thank you for sharing! I really needed to hear everything you said! 🙏🇺🇸🙏

[@daughtershouse]

Came across your channel today, Mark. Thanks so much for this reminder. I've recently been facing job loss, financial issues, anxiety and depression after starting a new medication, even a bad headache tonight which is a small thing, but when you're struggling the small things can feel like another battle. Some of this stuff seems totally unreasonable and has really forced me to press in - taking me down to what feels like the studs of my faith. I prayed the other day saying "It literally feels like some kind of black dog from hell is breathing down my neck God and the only thing I can believe right now is that You won't let me go because of who You say you are. I couldn't do a thing right now if I tried so it has to be You." Just the full knowledge and revelation that I wouldn't be breathing in that moment if God hadn't ordained it was a comfort to me because it meant that He was with me. It's been a big lesson in humility and the understanding that I cannot rely on my feelings. I was literally sitting on the floor with God's Word as my life raft just repeating Scripture out loud because it was all I knew to do. I think I've always had this fear that God would leave me and for those of us who've dealt with abandonment issues I think the only real cure for that is coming to a place where He has to show up for us or we won't make it. This is terrifying when you're in it and can feel like salt on all those abandonment wounds at first, but really it's cauterising them. At least that's my hope. I'm definitely not on the other side of this yet, but for anyone else in a similar place here are some verses that I've clung to about who God says He is that are seeing me through: -Hebrews 13:6 -Psalm 37 -Psalm 23 -Psalm 91:1-14 -Isaiah 41:9-13, 17-20 -Psalm 139 -Exodus 14:14

[@margrose5]

[@shanetasadie]

I’m struggling with blasphemous thoughts. I had one two days ago while reading my Bible. I haven’t read in two days. I’m terrified I’ll have more blasphemous thoughts, or that I’ll be held accountable for them. When I first began to seek God, I had a hunger for Him. Now I feel afraid and distant.

[@nathancook1905]

Hi Shaneta, I have the exact same dynamic of unwanted, intrusive blasphemous thoughts. Please don't feel afraid - many of the saints have dealt with intrusive blasphemous thoughts as well. He is with you. How are you doing?

[@stella.201]

​@nathancook1905 how do u deal with it?

[@shanetasadie]

@@stella.201 I “dealt” with it by almost avoiding God. I was ashamed to talk to Him about it, I would get so anxious reading my bible, and I can remember feeling like I didn’t belong when sitting at church, but I truly dealt with it when I realized I still loved Him and needed Him. My fear told me I couldn’t be forgiven for these thoughts, but Romans 8:38-39 changed everything. I read it morning and night. When I got anxious I would recite it. And God is so good. I will never forget when I finally came to Him about it and begged Him to help me, I came across a tiktok video moments after about the topic of scrupulosity. The girl from the video then led me to Marks page and to therapy. Therapy helped me to understand what I was dealing with, but I truly believe prayer healed me. My prayers in the beginning were compulsive, but over time I just began to thank God for all the help He sent to me. I truly believe God works through His people. Marks podcasts on OCD helped me so much. I was diagnosed in December. It’s now eight months later and the anxiety and the thoughts that caused them are almost non existent. I don’t get anxious when I read anymore, and I enjoy my worship music again. I feel at peace at church, and I pray and talk to God again. I thank Him for the little things because it was tough a while ago. I see the things He’s done and is doing for me. Please know that God is with you. He has not left you, and never will. You are not your thoughts. I also recommend Strivings Within by Mitzi VanCleve. I read it and it helped me tremendously. I don’t respond too quickly here, I apologize, but you are more than welcome to message me on Facebook if you ever want to chat. I truly believe God sent all the resources that helped me, and He is with you, and I hope Marks channel will be a blessing to you. ❤️

Mark thank you for this video. I have battled with eating disorder behaviors among other addictions and mental health for twenty years. Lately the eating disorder thoughts are getting bigger again. I hate I have them and I fear God is mad at me or thinks I’m an “idolater”, but listening to this made me realize that even though I think/do some of the things I do in order to make myself “feel ok” it’s a complete lie and that these eating disorder thoughts are not giving me more security or whatever it even is, they are FEAR based, they are a BULLY. I’m not miserable because God is mad at me, I’m miserable because I’m listening to a bully who tries to control me with fear. Thank you! Psalm 41:10

[@Redwins1995]

I feel like the Lord got me up this Morning at 5 to pray. I started loosing ground to worry and fear and knew Mark would have something to say to get me back into nurture and into praying. This concept of starting at love and confidence is so new, and so hard sometimes I need to be told/ reminded to get back into it. My prayers most my life have been ‘rescue me’ ’I hope I’m good enough’ ‘I hope I’m obedient enough’ prayers. Emotionally/spiritually exhausting… It takes so much practice to turn to nurture. But really appreciate these videos. Starting today at ‘I am loved! I am loved!!!’ Thanks Mark.

[@kitchencapers7183]

My mother and father have bad breathing problems COPD ETC. I get very anxious thoughts worrying about that m dying from this. They are elderly. However. Lets face it I can still apply these truths to this situation too. I've got to entrust them into God's care knowing he is the great physician. Caz

[@botshelobanda8973]

Thank you Mark, all the way from South Africa. You being able to help save a life like mine on the other side of the world in the heart of Township South Africa is just another way God is showing off his love through Christ. Be blessed for your work Sir! Your videos have been like oxygen to me in the past 2 months of my struggle with anxiety fueled by compulsive thoughts. I am busking in the love of the Father now... it's a process, but I am getting better every day.

Mark, you're a true hero for Christ and people like me... who are suffering OCD, experiencing spirits, and was completely getting my butt kicked day in day out for like 5 years... I see it working for my good, and how much of a baby in it all I was 😅, but seriously your insights are very rare, unique, well established and experienced, and I'm certain it is true because it is my experience as well. Just so glad you have been through and know what you know, because you are helping real sons and daughters all over when only God, and perhaps some dangerous drugs (much much less obviously) could be the other great help. So it's you and God for the win, conpletely hitting the mark for people who really do suffer. God bless you friend of faith. In Jesus name, amen

I really don’t get why more people don’t watch you. I agree with what you said way back when, there are definitely more people with these issues but they’re too scared or trapped to get help.

Hi, The distance: Its a FEELING. Believe me, I've been there. You have to learn to trust His word, where He already promised you over and over again: I will never leave you nor forsake you. The feeling will come back eventually. Meanwhile he is trying to train you to depend/rest/rely on His word and NOT on your feelings.

My obsessive thoughts over the why and how to feel the joy that I think I want to feel are driving me insane. Today I woke up to realize that apart from the mental addiction to Kratom, I now feel my body is physically addicted to it. Also to coffee at a very unhealthy amount. This video has been so so helpful to remind me of what I knew long ago about being trained for an Army for good and that no training is pleasant.

I’m crippled and tormented constantly with doubt and fear. I’m suffering with everything and can’t move forward. I feel like there is something wrong with me. Not just terrifying salvation doubts. There is a massive, debilitating barrier of not resting in Christ and worship to him. I can’t push through the thorns. I’ve heard I might need deliverance. This is a very real torture that isn’t all in the mind. It’s physical. It’s crushing. Spiritually, mentally, physically and emotionally. I hate life. I don’t want sympathy, I just need setting free 😔 I've not been able to sleep properly and have spent most of the last week in bed. I struggle to get out of bed as I'm exhausted and have a constant headache which is sucking the life out of me. It's too much. I can't breathe with the heaviness, the tightness of my chest. The depression and constant deep sadness is unbearable. I can feel it's demonic, I know it is. I've been involved with a lot of dark practices and this is more than oppression. It's demonised. I don't know if this is too much for you but if it is, I need someone who deals with this. It is a very real thing. Spiritual warfare, it's not something most churches deal with or even teach. There are many many real cases of this, people cry out and don't always get the help because many Christians don't believe it.

Take the verses we know...and really meditate what did GOD mean for me, us and how to...in each stage of our growth. Thank you from a sister, from another mother. :)

Thank you for sharing this information. I am dealing with demonic attacks from my family, which is very hurtful. My thoughts have been racing and I have no peace in my mind. I don't know how to stop the chaos in my mind. It separates me from the Lord because my thoughts are so angry and negative that I can't even pray. 😢

I don't go into calm, I think I do, but my family tells me that I go into cold..... 😢

[@judymiller5154]

"cold" makes me think of "disconnected". does that fit? you feel calm inside, but somehow not sharing it by engaging with your loved ones? or maybe are you struggling to attain the calm (and it can be a real battle!) and therefore not pursuing understanding and encouraging and serving others? May God richly bless you with wisdom ❤️🙏❤️
