You’ll probably see this comment many times MDJ, but you’re a diamond in the rough. You have a caliber of a mega teacher, the humility of a next-door neighbor, the insight of a wise father, and the goofiness of a beloved family member. You make us feel at home while wrecking us with truth. I appreciate you and your ministry and look forward to supporting you when we are able.

Please do not think that we were not listening brother Mark. Your words are life-giving and inspire so much confidence, love and hope in us because you teach directly to our hearts and with a child like simplicity that we can understand and receive. I don't know anyone out there that is teaching what you do, you are one of a kind, uniques and precious gift to all who are blessed to find you.. I don't know where I would be if God had not brought me to your channel. You have helped through my most darkest hours when I thought I was going to faint in deep despair, your teachings literally lifted me up so I could make it another day. I never thought I would have come this far in the love of God, so thank you eternally. God bless you!!

[@fostenalifehealthcoach]

Hi Brother Mark. As a Deliverance minister I can say I appreciate your teaching. I believe that everything is not a formula or a demon. I Agree Jesus did Deliverance differently each time. Also he also discerned when it was a spirit that needed to be cast out or someone needed healing. I don't belive that every mental illness is a demon but it can be as each person case is different. The key thing I believe is people to get proper context of what they are doing. Most of the people I have worked with had some form of exposure as a child like watching a scaring movie or something traumatic event that led to the spirit of fear entering . The love of God drives out fear and knowing that God gave them a spirit of power love and a sound mind. It is a spiritual battle that one cannot fight natural weapons with. Ephesians 6: 10-18 is spiritual warfare and nothing to do with thoughts. Thoughts are like strongholds that need to be cast down according to 1 Corinthians 10:4-5. It is a process with inner healing and I agree with you it's a practice daily and takes as long as it takes.

[@lindasmith8502]

You will allways be "his" You are a child of God. God will never give up on you. He made you & knows you better than you know yourself. My son suffers from religious OCD & I'm constantly having to reassure him when he's spinning thinking God has given up on him. It's a life of living in fear & doubt and wasting so much precious time that you'll never get back. It's just thoughts that aren't true but for OCD people it's difficult to get out of it. I'm 64 and suffered with OCD until my 40's it took me getting pissed off and telling myself, NO MORE! I'm tired and I'm not going to give in to the bull shit. I want to live in peace. & Guess what...nothing bad happened to me. It's just stupid thoughs. We are not our thoughts! You are important and you are loved. Your just tired of it all. Your in my prayers. Please don't give up & keep listening to Mark!

[@fifiearthwanderer]

I remember that sometimes the church would tell me to have faith, I dont have enough faith. Also telling me to stop believing the fear and it made me feel so broken. Like I was doing something wrong. Didnt fast enough or pray enough. It was based on my works not God's grace and love. That made me spiral so bad. Also made me want to avoid church when I felt bad because it was hard to put on a happy face when I was so broken. It did turn me off some as well. But I remembered that it is a church made of broken people. Amen. So I had grace for them. And God led me that when I get out of this, I can testify on the other side and spread some knowledge to the church.

My husband hid the blood pressure monitor from me. When I say I am not going to take my blood pressure, the anxiety goes up. My thoughts consume me! I think, my blood pressure must be high!! So I cave in and take it. So I told God today- I need His help! I have a problem. This video helps! Thanks Mark!! I too felt there is something wrong with my walk with God because I have anxiety! I realize now, God loves me where I am! He’s with me and He’s Merciful!!

Thank you for the deliverance warning. It’s very easy for a person with OCD get obsessive over getting the right prayers. You can sit up all night finding and listening to every video you can find to fix the problem of whatever issues you have over and over and put God aside and get nowhere .

[@Mumsy_Soap]

Thank you so much for ministering in this OCD niche. Wow I've been around the mountain a few times. Just hearing you give language to the struggle. I knew I was a perfectionist thanks to Flylady and incremental changes and a timer have changed my life. But the religious torment legalism and checking has been hard to stop compulsively doing, praying, reading the word, and separation from "unclean" because it seems righteous, at first glance, but it never ends. I get the grace element, and am warming up to the unconditional love, obviously, I can't "do" anything, but it has brought me comfort in my spinning. It's a trap God can and will get me out of, I'll do my part to follow. In Jesus Name

Wow, was this was a much needed video. When I found out about deliverance a few months ago.. as an ocd’er, i was like, “oh this must be the root of it!” And so I went down that rabbit hole and found a deliverance minister… let me tell you.. it was not entirely peaceful and freeing. I don’t want to say I didn’t feel some bondage breaking, I did. Though it some areas in made ocd more obvious after and checking is obviously still there and increased after. I’m so grateful for you Mark. Since I’ve been listening and watching your podcast, and reading your books, I’ve been learning to walk in receiving the love of the father. I’ve been learning to give myself grace and speak to myself and remind myself that I am a daughter of Christ and be rooted in my identity in Him. It is most definitely a PROCESS, and not a quick fix. I am forever grateful for ministry. God bless you ❤

Same brother, you are not alone in the boat. you get thoughts that are only unpleasant and negative in nature about God. Thoughts of hate or cursing or blasphemy or defying that force themselves in your head. Same thing happened with my believing friend when he was new in faith he said that he battled with these thoughts for months. It's a spiritual warfare brother. And we need to be fully equipped with the complete armour of God. This is one of the fiery darts that Satan uses to cripple our spiritual walk and journey with the Lord. But we are more than conquerors in Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:35 Be well in Jesus name. 🙏🙌

Mark I have been watching you for about 2 years and I see your growth. You are so intimately acquainted with these struggles and have gained a measure of victory that you are able to laugh at yourself and us and make us laugh with you. Even though you've been through hell you comfort us with the same comfort God has given you(2 Cor 1:4) You show us that you are still learning and growing. When I first started watching you I told myself that I should try to watch at least once a week to help me cut through these thought patterns. I have mostly stuck with that and see growth in myself. Thanks so much! God's blessings to you and yours.

[@Brian-rs4ug]

Right on! Learning to daily step out of our comfort zone is key to transformation. In time what was uncomfortable will become your new “normal.” learning how to be a safe person to others and learning to discern who is safe and unsafe. (Allowing safe into our lives and avoiding the unsafe people ) We must get good at setting boundaries with others. A good councilor can help us learn these skills.

[@mhatter5]

Mark I am in a horrible position. My fear revolves around the unforgivable sin and demonic possession. My problem is I also suffer from a pretty severe mental illness. I’ve had experiences before that I’m too scared to talk about and makes me feel very isolated and fearful about my salvation. I am obsessed with getting answers. Clear cut answers to what’s wrong with me. But my mind is a mess. I’m in recovery for a kratom addiction and at this point I’m scared of my own shadow. So scared God can free me no matter how hard I try. Fearful I am legitimately possessed after a terrifying experience with speaking in tounges. This is all driving me towards suicide. I just want to be with God in my life. I beg and plead for him to have mercy on me. I ask and ask for his forgivesness. I don’t know what’s mental illness or spiritual. I feel like I am truly without hope. I am in a fearful state right now and I want freedom.

[@vivianwilliams4709]

I'll be praying for you , sounds like you need some sound support and you need a Godly mentor in your life. Seek out a Church of God in your area. Calm down , relax, and lean into the Psalms, sing them in fact. Praise often lift your voice in praise to Christ Jesus. You need need a break from thinking and your thought process. Read James. Seek God for your answers and wait and just be still. God loves you.

[@thisgirl5933]

Catholic confession is amazing for knowing you've received forgiveness. Also, in the meantime, you sound repentant and God is Love and Mercy and sees this. I also recommend Adoration and prayer to Mary who intercedes for us to her Son. God loves you. Trust in Him. (Look up St Faustina) From Catholic Answers: Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is to refuse God’s mercy. It is a refusal to repent of sin. God does not bring anyone into his kingdom against his/her will. Human persons have the ability to reject God’s mercy and refuse forgiveness of sins which leads to eternal separation from God.

I am just so happy I found your videos a year ago, Mark. Listening to your teachings is very freeing. I always get great value out of listening and applying. I love how you teach that formulas, silver bullets, and legalism aren't where it's at--it's only through relationship! Best thing anyone can tell a person who is going through anything--go talk to God and be honest about exactly where you are with Him. I have made great strides in my own journey out of OCD, and my progress is related directly to my relationship with God, and surrendering the intrusive thoughts to Him. He ALWAYS gives me a word to counter any lie. I always get a good laugh too from your teachings, and have learned to laugh at myself when OCD intrusive thoughts try to rear up instead of go into shame and condemnation, and trying to force myself to "just not think about it." Being ok with the thoughts being there, and knowing they don't mean anything has helped me as well. Thank you for all you do for us here!! :)

If they were doing that properly, you wouldn’t have the mental condition that has led to this discussion. Now if it was a movie tiles demons do Vegas, they could/would watch just fine because it’s not pointing in their direction.

Me too girl, my mom always wanted perfection from me, so now I feel this need to “perform for God”, I feel like I can’t be happy because I don’t deserve it, I’ll be laughing with my friends and I’ll start feeling so guilty, it’s horrible :(

31:00 What is the Cliche...if you don't feel close to God guess who moved? I am misquoting but that causes a lot of anxiety for some people.

[@shaylamartin]

I start to have obsessions over if the way I relieve my anxiety is " wrong" it's a struggle but I definitely plan to meditate. I know facing it helped me tremendously in therapy.

[@growingodtoday-ei3tf]

I cannot let go of this " God you know my heart" phrase " Thats not me" When I get phrases of vows or blasphemies of the Holy Spirit. I am afraid God will accept them as from me if I do not say anything. Pet ocd technique. I cannot think of not saying it.

[@BlessingsEternal]

Been going through the same blasphemy thoughts. It's horrific. Got to cast out the fear and except the grace. Praise Jesus

this is some of the most incredibly sound teaching on mental health and deliverance. i went through a very similar experience to come to the point that i’ve realized that not everything is a spirit. thank you for all of these amazing resources!

This was all over the place, but I get it🙌🏽 I’m Someone who is battling with SO-OCD. you did say a lot of thing I needed to hear. Thank you. I do pray that things will get better and I will over come this.. it’s not always just about “thoughts” that you mentioned.. I deal with intrusive thoughts yes, but intrusive feelings as well. And many people deal with intrusive urges and sensations etc etc..

I could not stop giggling watching this. You posted this video in time to save me from going to a deliverance ministry because 12 steps recovery used the word 'spiritual malady'. I inventoried 50 pages (literally), and made a few humiliating and needless apologies. I didn't feel better, I felt worse so I thought, I'LL GO BACK TO THE CHURCH! Blessed medals dangling from my neck I was signing up for 'unbound'. I have nothing negative to say about that ministry, however, I'm sure I would've stepped out the door and checked. hahahaha.Thanks for saving me the trouble. I also really appreciate your view on medication. Hidden gems in your information. Nothing against folks who find benefit from it. I strongly question the 'chemical imbalance' model. I have to laugh and cry because years ago I was kneeling with rosaries around my neck, hearing footsteps in the apartment above, thinking the demons were coming to take me to hell because I committed the unpardonable sin. It was squirrels. OCD is both a blessing of untapped brilliance, and a curse of epic proportions. Thank you for this.

[@fifiearthwanderer]

Thank you God for this ministry.❤❤

[@carlosduran1509]

Ocd too. The the moment you realize to be mindful of your thoughts...all is energy..We are creators /co-creators..We think it . Visualize it..then implement that into existence. Like an artist with a blank canvas..also what thoughts that you know consciously that is not yours..May be that you are picking up from the collective consciousness...if you feeling the anxiety along with those unwanted thoughts..it's coming up so that you may process that..unresolved trauma stuck causing energetic blockages within your sub consciousness..as you shadow work ..each ocd . .anxiety episode the energy attack lessons..it's a recalibration ..cleansing of our energetic system..we usually automatically go into fight and flight..it's the change in full function from our spirit/soul rather than ego.

[@ericstewart9742]

I haven’t watched yet but just from the title my first reaction is, “How could any person really know anything about that for sure?”

[@thankyou62]

I pray every day, but sometimes it’s so hard. I feel at times it’s a “damned if you do, damned if you don’t,” kind of thing (and I don’t mean eternal condemnation, though those thoughts do come at times). When I have a time of “really good prayer” (from my perspective, that is), I feel like a victim of my own success and like I need to do it like that always. It’s hard. I feel like if I don’t have routines I don’t get anything done, but if I have a routine, I feel like it is a tyrannical master. I have ADHD for sure (not sure about OCD, but there are similarities for sure. Another example, if for whatever reason I go on nice walk in the morning, and maybe I happen to do it three days in a row just because that’s the way it happens, I feel like I then have to do that every day and if I don’t I get anxious. A lot of times I don’t do things I’d like to do because I feel like I am setting myself up for a future spiral or disappointment.

[@_cr8ive_]

I feel like Ive fought my whole life to get to be active in my purpose, now that my training for that is complete, now Im completely immobilized with physical conditions and are still being stuck and going nowhere after years. The anxiety and anger of not moving forward is causing even more emotional distress. 🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🥴🥴
