10 Overall Keys that Helped My OCD Healing Process

[@evanhairston5872]

I've really needed this. I had such an intense experience with OCD as a teen that it's scarred me in untold ways even to today. I've been reluctant to start the journey toward a fuller recovery because I didn't want to revisit old pain, while being unwilling to acknowledge that I'm still suffering. To those of us struggling with this, I pray our Father's love comforts and heals us in Jesus name.

[@stacyjeanne1]

Well here I am 50 and alone! I have some bad patterns, I have tried fixing them and I need help. I don't feel loved ,safe or nurtured. My upbringing was volatile and lonely full of the basics, but zero guidance and love. I have unhealed pain. I didn't grow up in church, but came to God at 30. I struggle learning to let God love me. I just moved to a new state south by my paranoid anxious angry parents to care for them, but they just push me away w rage. Im open to help and reading and listening to your books …

[@matthewgray659]

Your information on OCD is probably the best I have ever heard. Harm OCD is probably the most difficult one to deal with besides pedophilia OCD but you are absolutely right, I need to change everything about how I think.

[@marktdejesus]

Your words are so kind, thank you. I pray I can continue to be an encouragement.

[@rachaelbeaulieu2152]

I love how you address the part about starving the compulsion and how you encourage us to just be loved.....even when we don't feel it! When I push through the doubts and battles and look to Jesus and remind myself that my Father loves me ...it can be so hard because when you're starving that compulsion, it can feel scary. But if we keep spinning and checking, we'll never get to the healing. Praise the Lord that even when it's difficult, He still loves me, even when I don't "feel" it! He is faithful!

[@jhenfresh]

God bless you and your ministry Bro. Dejesus. I have been watching many OCD videos and I can say, I’ve learnt much from all yours. It’s a very crippling thing. Terrible. Sick to my stomach. But when I try and think of the love of the Father it helps. Thanks, continue the good work.

[@daniart3909]

I cried and laughed because you have helped me so much. I feel like you read my mind in a ton of ways and I felt relieved because for a long time I believed the lie that I was alone in my fear and ocd struggles. I didn’t even know I had ocd tendencies for a while.

[@natalieable8463]

This has to be one of Mark's best videos and I've watched many of them. Thank you Lord for bringing me to this video and thanks brother from another mother!

[@anjo1610]

Thank you so much for making these videos! It's hard to find good Christian content about OCD. I went to a Christian counselor and she was great but she really didn't understand OCD. Then, I went to a therapist who knew alot about OCD, but she didn't seem to understand/teach the spiritual side. It's so great to hear from someone who understands both!! Please know that your videos are making a difference! God bless :0)

44:31. Sat here tying flies and listening to mark. Love it!

[@lynnv8501]

How don't you have hundreds more views? This is perfect for hurting people. I guess people travel this road less often.

[@marcusbuckner5582]

...probably because the stereotypical Christian won’t admit to having mental, emotional problems. Mark has been there: most Pastors won’t show fragility.

[@tf8019]

I have contamination OCD but not getting better .Im.struggling every day I cry out to God for help.

[@eugenvustar9258]

Don't give up don't fight the toughts say "they're not my thoughts" which is true and then remember that God loves you memorize scripture about God's love for us and think on good things just igniore they'll lose power overtime If you feel down go to God talk to him he'll understand don't ask too much what if- just know you're loved by God in Christ Jesus don't give up!!!!

[@justapseudonym7]

A recent event has opened my eyes to my OCD tendencies. I didn't know that was what I had or that it was even a problem, even though it makes me miserable. I fixate on an issue, ruminate, endlessly Google "answers" and waste mental energy on trying to find a perfect answer. I can't go on living like this, I need to change

[@Grace8019]

Brother Mark, I'm blessed with your teachings

[@ladydonna37]

This is valuable! One to listen to over & again until finally it SINKS in enough to actually remember/hear it when I'm in the midst of the battle w/the loud noise of the fears/emotions!! Thank you!

[@marktdejesus]

Wonderful!

[@lookatyoustrawberrybrunette]

I've been committing on your videos for awhile and I hope this isn't going to drive anyone crazy seeing my icon pop up everywhere but so far I've had a lot of these issues in my life and pushed myself into a burnout at the moment I wish a saw your videos a year ago but maybe this is what I need to know right now.

[@BryanLChess]

My issue is I have Generalized Anxiety and OCD and i keep getting ear worms. One song would get stuck in my head for days, and it was really starting to bother me. I'm taking anti-depressants and it helps with the depression part but not the ear worms. I also started taking NAC which seems to be helping. My pastor said we don't need pills for mental issues, just praying and reading the bible is enough. I did that but it didn't help and i had to reach out for help.

[@Psalm_27.4]

@chesschamp1000 There is NOTHING wrong with taking meds. I, too used to think that all I needed was the Bible and being a more diligent Christian. Well, of course, the Bible is great and diligence is good, but I still had issues that I’ve come to see as OCD. Just as prayer and Bible reading won’t heal a broken leg, and you have to go to the Emergency Room, you will need more than the Bible and prayer to deal with mental health matters. Sadly, pastors give incomplete information like yours did. I recommend that you keep doing research on OCD, so that you can learn about it. May the Lord lead you to great resources and freedom.

[@mcquacks2]

I've listened to a lot of Mark's messages, and this one is amazing! They're all amazing, but for some reason, this one I think I need on repeat 24/7. So encouraging!

This is the second video of yours that I’m watching. Thanks this is helping God Bless you.

[@Sunnyanne283]

Thank you! After quite some time of being much improved, I found myself relapsing into ROCD. I did a you tube search and found your program prior to this one. You have no idea how right you are about the journey and how much you have helped.

[@confidentmama8328]

Wonderful information, Mark! Great points - thanks for sharing. I’m realizing how the points can help me in my own life. For example, the point about being reachable, and letting others give feedback. Also, even #1, to recognize this struggle for what it is. OCD will also try to come in and make me think this obsessive doubt/what if thought is real and needs to be focused on. Need to stand above that and still recognize the tactics, so I can get free!

[@patricknolin2936]

You are so true to me and my journey. Thank you so much. God has led me to your awareness so that I can increase my own

Whatever brings my parents closer to christ first and Armstrong chapel second is my prayer during the meeting for them.

Dear brother I'm from india.i sadly say here in churches any mental disorder consider as oppression and bondage of enemy.They don't know anything about scrupulosity..They consider it as unbelief so here I have no one to share with😕😒😢.I'm living with an unbelieving spouse and my two sons are now away from God..All these things adding fuel to my OCD..I can't pray and believe effectively for their salvation since I myself struggle🙁😢😢

[@gdnbastia]

Hey bro I am from India as well. My life was a mess and had OCD tendencies. I started to listen to Pastor Joseph Prince and his online resources and blog on the internet everyday and reading testimonies from his website. I did it everyday and I am so much better than before. Please start listening to him

Seek help all this are forgiven by Jesus Christ. Through christ we have Peace with god call mental health in your area

[@jhenfresh]

Keep the faith dear one. Im having intrusive thoughts and anxiety also. It’s very crippling. This has been one of the worst things that ever happened in my life. But the only thing that has been assisting is what Mr. DeJesus is saying. Know that God loves you so much. He knows each of us, he knows our hearts. He will never forsake you. Our brain needs physical rewiring. It will take some time, we can’t hold on to these unwanted thoughts. Just let them fly pass and pay them no mine. Then they will have nothing to hold on to. The enemy wants to deceive you that God doesn’t love you. No matter who you are, what you think, God loves you. He cares for you.Lets walk with our ABBA through this journey to healing. Many blessings

[@jhenfresh]

Also, if you can get some Christian counseling please do so. Nothing is wrong with that. We are here for each other. Don’t give up

Hi Mark, when you say gently refocus or reshift your thoughts towards something else what would you shift it back to?

[@Thankful305]

Love your videos. Can you clarify the "lack of nurturing" Is it only the mother or can it be the father along with all caretakers/other family adults/daycare/school teachers esp in the younger years. I have seen shame turn into pride as a sheild and it reveals itself as narcissism. Would you agree??

[@marktdejesus]

Lack of nurture can be from both parents for sure. And yes, shame often manifests with pride, to keep the cover.

[@JamesVestal-dz5qm]

Is it me or does Mark seem.to be "riffing" most of the time? Lol I guess by the titles I was thinking of something right to the point and clear.

Men and women are just different. Street James is a convicted criminal whose half way out of the pocket at men's Bible study. This would not be acceptable in a Co ed Bible study!

I want Ben Shapiro to stop educating people about anti Semitic people and do more education about Judaism! Invite more Christians on the Ben Shapiro show! Mike pence was great!
