I don’t even know if I’m a Christian after all the sin I let in but I’m so grateful for your channel. I need to learn to be kind to myself. I’m done hating myself

This channel is wisdom 🙌 filled

This channel is the Best consouler or therapist ever I have had Your a true blessing for hurting people to see God's love for them instead of judgment . It's freeing many people opening thier eyes to the truth.

This speaks to me so much! Thankfully, now I am on medication and I'm going through therapy and feeding on scripture. After I got saved, my all my mental health issues hit me like a truck and it didn't even cross my mind that OCD, among other things, was my problem.

you are helping so many people, the Lord is using you in such amazing ways.

I experience authenticity on this channel. Thank you.

Half of my family of origin is psychologically dis-eased. I call them “Cluster B”. My dark-tetrad father (B-Hole), covert older brother (B-Head) and his bipolar wife (Zuul), and their sociopathic son (A-Aron) go from dawn to dusk making life miserable for every one around them so long as it may give them a chuckle. Bait cut!

WOW! How exactly had I never heard of you until today?! What a blessing to have real, solid OCD guidance from not just a believer, but a believer who actually understands what it is and how to address it! And addresses how it can affect our spiritual lives as well! Thank you, and I'm thanking God for you and what you are doing.

Thank you!

My father was submissive to my narcissistic abusive mother. My father was not allowed to have a relationship with my older half sister because of my mother my mom restricted us from seeing her growing up and my mom brainwashed us as kids to make us hate our sister , our only 2 cousins who later helped me when I escaped at 17, my mother abused my fathers mother all this and much more with them claiming to be Christian and constantly mentioning Jesus and scriptures plus I grew up with church hurt and anger towards God but I still always wanted to walk with God it was not until I met my husband I finally got better with my mental health he started sharing scriptures with me and praying for me we lost our way when we dated but God brought us back to the cross. Father mother wounds are so painful I hate my ptsd so much but lord knows I’m trying. Thank u for this video I will link /share with my ptsd trauma therapy group

Thank you for using scripture to point to our Father's heart as a standard/example of fathers. This really does facilitate healing. All praise to God!

I cried a lot of times throughout your video. I currently struggle with religious and moral OCD and I felt EVERY WORD in your video. I felt like I was being spoken to personally and that my life was examined. Thank you for speaking the word of the Lord. I prayed last night for peace, and tonight I stumble upon your video. God bless you more, brother.

Wasn't expecting this to have such a religious angle (I didn't read your name) but I do kind of appreciate the spirituality in this video, there's something comforting about it (despite being agnostic, I do think there is a healthy intersection between science/psychology/religion that you managed to nail in this video)

You have helped me more than I can say. My degree is In psychology but your help comes from experience. I am so grateful for you!

OMG! I thought I was alone, my son is diagnosed with this disease. My heart went out to you! Be strong, sir!

Great series so far

Fear literally opens the door to torment

Summary: Paul said “ walk away”

Grew up in a reformed Christian tradition. Was blessed by the Puritans and all the reformed teachings. Throughout my 5-6 years of Christian journey, I feel like I am in a constant cycle of seeking to grow in holiness and doing things for the glory of God (evangelism, discipleship, serving and etc). Not to say that we are not called to grow and pursue holiness but there was always this pressure and instability. It wasn’t until the last 6 months were through an unforeseen difficult circumstances, my mental and emotional health deteriorated and I realized that my efforts of walking faithfully is always falling short and that constant introspection to weave out sin and pursue holiness was destroying me. I spent so much time trying to analyze and examine the roots, I realized that I haven’t truly learned to rest in God’s grace in Christ. This video has helped me a lot and I resonate with almost every point mentioned here. I’m so anxious and lost these days, but my hope is that God will rewire this heart to find rest in grace more. It’ll be a journey I guess

This hits the nail in the head. Thanks for helping me unwind decades of bad thinking. I wish I heard this in my early 20s

I stumbled upon your channel when I searched for "narcissistic mother". I really appreciate you having a perspective from both modern psychology and incorporating a Christian perspective. This video was incredibly helpful. Please keep posting for all Christians who have faith in our Lord but are also seeing to make practical changes in our day to day life!

You know this is sooo true. I didn't realise how much I abandoned me to please others. To make others less upset, so i WOULD BE SAFE. Childhood programs us to attract the same old limits, self defeating behaviours . Those voices in my head, the mean, cruel, punishing, belittling ones, were unconsciously sabotaging my progress to fulfilment. They are the words of others, stuck in my head, running the show, repeating my abandonment feelings. I dreamt of my deceased father last night, then Spirit brought me to your video. I was trying to please my Father, trying to make him proud of me, value my existence, show I am worthy of his acceptance. Yet I was just people pleasing, I was not being myself! I could never get his attention, his support, his acceptance, I don't believe he even liked me. he left the home, remarried within a year, and adopted his second wife's daughters child as his "grandchild" and gave her all his attention. She became a Doctor, me well I have not achieved my potential. There's more, I was left with a narcissistic Mother and a brutal psycho brother who beat me most days and stole and beat mUM. I was left unprotected too! I found me when I went back to Source consciousness, I went back into the arms of God. Now my self talk is changing, loving, unconditional, supportive, kind. I can not abandon me. I am glad I still can change and grow, a new era is dawning for us all.

My whole entire life the only way "love God with your entire self" ever made sense was to completely abandon your entire self and just be a monk/missionary/pastor and just make every single minute of every day nothing but God, God, God.. Jesus, Jesus, Jesus.. And the Bible doesn't explain any of this. We're left with nothing but vague interpretations of people. And it seems like it can be twisted any way anyone wants. Same goes for so many other passages and this is why the Bible is so frustrating and this is why I can't stand reading it sometimes. I get so frustrated that the answers are right in front of me, yet I don't know what they mean. So close yet so far.

So accurate but i wouldnt verbalize that you'll go to hell. i would word it correctly and prevent a response bc it's the truth you just are unaware of at the moment. Id be aware of my religiosity while allowing the hell accusations to come n go,not answering it the opposite. Everything else youve said is very specifically helpful and accurate. God bless you.

Im struggling horribly, but its under da bloooood!

Please help me!!! I get confused with facing the fear vs testing God. It seems to me that for example, if I know I food MAY be dirty or bad I should just play it safe and not eat it otherwise if I know there may be a risk that would be testing God. I'm always praying to not get sick from it

Thanks Mark for sharing your story. I relate almost exactly to it. Sharing gives hope.

Thank you❤️‍🩹🙏

It’s the thoughts in my head everytime I buy something and then I feel like I don’t deserve it unless I pray. I finally let go today. Keep letting go. It will eventually pass.

I overshare, over text and overexplain; overdo in general. I struggle with abandonment issues and generally feel unseen and like a burden. When I overshare, I feel others tune me out which makes me feel rejected and even worse about myself.

I still struggle with the compulsion to hold my middle fingers down in response to blasphemous and sacrilegious thoughts and images… may God help me to rest in His unconditional love and nurture… Anxiety/OCD is such a cruel taskmaster…

Thank you for this help. I just found your book I will not fear.

I know a guy that lives this out 100%. Because I couldn't recognize true love, I ran from him.

Where can we find your books?

Finally the time has come when the Lord told me this is the time to read this book and has given me special confirmation! Since last few days whenever I was opening my Bible those pages having Psalm 34&35 were opening up over and over again and I was led by the Holy Spirit to pray on Ps. 34:4 and one day after that I was led by the Holy Spirit to read first chapter of this book and viola 🙌🏻🕊✨ the first scripture that is mentioned in this first chapter of this book is Psalm 34:4. 🙌🏻🕊✨ This is a huge confirmation from Father God that it's time to delve into this journey. So here I'm sharing my journey: 💛Day 1: 19 June, 2024 _01. Getting Honest_ Where there is fear, either you are self-dependent or other-dependent but not God-dependent. You are thinking: • God is not more powerful than your problem or pain or situation. • Whether God really wants to give me good. Is God really a good God? 'Repent'→ as both of these mindset is disrespecting the authority and power as well as the goodness of God. • God is all powerful, who can be more powerful than the One who created the heaven and the earth. • God is good Father and loves to see me prosper. (Psalm 35:27) 🙌🏻🕊✨🙌🏻🕊✨🙌🏻🕊✨🙌🏻🕊✨🙌🏻🕊✨ 💛Day 02: 20 June, 2024 _02 . The Language of fear_ The only thing you are in control of is the thoughts you focus on and the decisions you make. Today I realise that there is boundary between the physical body and the soul realm; and with the soul realm to the spirit realm. We truly have no control how other's think and how we can manipulate their choices. .... That is why learning to release control is one of the marks of maturity. It grants us a blessed place of peace. 🙌🏻🕊✨🙌🏻🕊✨🙌🏻🕊✨🙌🏻🕊✨🙌🏻🕊✨ 💛Day 03: 21 June, 2024 _03 . The Culture of fear_ Homes filled with constant arguing and strife can stir up an atmosphere that lacks love and security; thus creating an avenue for fear to become an invader. Additionally, traumatic experiences in home life can lock in fearful associations when children or spouses are abused physically, verbally, or sexually. Strife→bitterness→fear→trauma Strife→forgiveness→love→peace Today I realise why family having strife suffer more because the spirit of fear brings in more trauma but the spirit of forgiveness brings in love and peace. 🙌🏻🕊✨🙌🏻🕊✨🙌🏻🕊✨🙌🏻🕊✨🙌🏻🕊✨ 💛Day 04: 23 June, 2024 _04 . The History of fear_ Today I realize that fear is from the enemy and coming in commitment with his ways leds to be engulfed by fear., i. e. when we choose any other way expect God's way and that includes choosing our way in rebellion then we give access to fear to come in. Choose God or choose devil. 🙌🏻🕊✨🙌🏻🕊✨🙌🏻🕊✨🙌🏻🕊✨🙌🏻🕊✨ 💛Day 05: 24 June, 2024 _05 . Hijacked physiology_ When a person has continual patterns of chronic fear, stress or anxiety at any level of intensity, this process of "fight or flight" is occurring in endless loops. At this stage, the body's reproductive system, digestive system, and immune system are not operating as designed. The body is now entering into a sequence called the "General Adaptation Syndrome" (GAS). .... This literally opened my eyes like why I have been obese since childhood and had Pcos since teenage years. 😮😮😮My childhood was full of fearful days because my family members were always quarreling, there was environment of strife and anger and rage and retaliation, everyone were so unforgiving of one another and not loving one another. I was so full of fear during my childhood. And upon this was poor parenting skills of my parents, my mother used to told me not to touch food unless I have done all my homeworks so usually I used to eat at 2-3am at night. Although I was the topper in my school and even in other activities but has been always obese. Finally for the first time ever in my life I am able to understand that chronic fear induced environment is the cause of period related issue. 😢 Save me Lord. 🙌🏻❤✝️ 🙌🏻🕊✨🙌🏻🕊✨🙌🏻🕊✨🙌🏻🕊✨🙌🏻🕊✨ 💛Day 06: 26 June, 2024 _06 . How fear gets our attention_ ...When a child struggles with a certain fair issue it is often surprised rather than brought out into healing and loving conversation and prayer so that generations can overcome together because this doesn't happen too many are left thinking their struggles are odd no one else has this battle's and something must be deeply wrong with them. . . This fair references becomes store and can only be held by facing them and creating new patterns... The biggest problem with this response is we spend too much time avoiding what we don't want while not moving towards what we really want. Please help me Lord I need You. 🙇🏻‍♀️✝️❤ 🙌🏻🕊✨🙌🏻🕊✨🙌🏻🕊✨🙌🏻🕊✨🙌🏻🕊✨ 💛Day 07: June, 2024 _07 . Fear is a terrorist_ 🙌🏻🕊✨🙌🏻🕊✨🙌🏻🕊✨🙌🏻🕊✨🙌🏻🕊✨ 💛Day 08: June, 2024 _08 .

What was the original spinning song he was singing in the beginning?

I have struggled with OCD most of my life up until 3 years ago. God healed me. Now my son struggles and my wife and I have been helping him. Yesterday I came across Heb 4:9. It really jumped out at me. I shared it with my son last night. This morning I watched this episode and Mark shared Heb 4:9. God is so right on time.

I gotta comment on the nutrition part- My mood totally changed when I fixed my diet. I’ve got some allergies/sensitivities to gluten and dairy, and potentially to a bunch more foods as well (food issues run in the family, heehee!). About 6 years ago, I was extremely depressed while I was still eating gluten, and it took me a a while to go totally gluten-free. A ton of my depression went away when I cut it out completely, along with a TON of other symptoms. Since then, I’ve struggled with a ton of brain fog, bouts of irritability, and anxiety. I finally cut out dairy this year (it is so good, it took me a while to cut it out) and my brain fog is almost totally gone, and it is SO much easier to process through emotions and let them go now that a few months ago. Like, a night/day difference. Along with having some better habits in general (better sleep, exercising more, etc), it has been SO much better. I can actually think again!!! I read somewhere that most of our serotonin is produced in the gut, and our gut/brain connection is so strong. I’ve been practicing new ways of thinking for years now, and I think that the new mental habits became easier to practice when my brain capacity started to restore through eating better. And now, when I eat something that hurts me, my brain fog returns and I struggle a bit more that day, but it always gets better when I eat better. It might not be gluten and dairy for you, but eating well has been life changing! You gotta try it

When u mentioned not looking at people and how it hurts them it blew my mind...its saying no love bc WE feel insecure.as tragic a reality,what a great miracle to not have to be alone in that or without a cure through what youve spoken.thanks for that and all your videos,they're incredibly specific to me,a believer with ocd.

Well said.thank you.

No parents growing up, so I definitely struggle receiving from God. I didn't even realize it.

The content may be useful BUT the funny way you present it is not appropriate at all. It makes it like a not big deal. It negates and minimizes the severity of out abandonments, neglects and abuse and it makes it like nothing. It is very strange for someone who has been through it to negate it this way.

A few years ago I trusted God with a very important subject in my life. I prayed a lot, I did everything that was my part in the matter and I experienced seigns that gave me hope but it was the greatest disappointment of my life. It felt completely abondend and lost. I don’t know why he gave me so obvious seigns. Now I can’t trust him nor myself anymore because obviously theologicaly it could not have been a seign from him because he is perfect and does not make mistakes, nor is he misleading. So now I can’t trust my own evaluation and experience . How could I trust God when it’s all on me to understand him perfectly or to trust him perfectly otherwise I will experience so much pain again and again… Rationaly I know who he is and that he did not hurt me but emotional it felt like God is breaking my heart into thousand peace’s…

Appreciate your channel. I confided in my mother about the abuse I experienced from my father throughout my entire life. She just ended up completely denying everything and telling all of my siblings that I lied and turned them all against me. She constantly gossips and gaslights. me, yet claims to be a devout “Catholic” It got to the point where I started to question my memories and sanity and then I needed to cut off contact. My siblings think because I have become a born again Christian, I am simply lost in a dogmatic cult and refuse to acknowledge me until I “get the real help I need.” I have been in therapy for many years before hearing the Gospel and have endured incredible abuse at mental health facilities-memories that continue to haunt me. Unfortunately, I need to separate myself completely. I have continued to hope there was potential for some kind of relationship, but they’re twisted need to maintain their fantasies about our childhood and deny the abuse that occurred is so demeaning and abusive in itself. It’s hard to put all of my trust in the Lord about feeling secure and safe in this world without a family support system and I don’t see much room in the church for those of us lacking large Christian families. It’s a lonely place to be but I suppose this will sanctify me even more. Throughout these events I have married my best friend, who is a wonderful husband and has led me to Christ. We may be unable to have a family of our own and have spent thousands of dollars in medical tests with absolutely no explanation. Sometimes I don’t understand how the Lord can possibly take away anything more but here I am. He truly must be enough.

You’re funny 😆

Thank you, Mark, for these truths. I finally have hope in my OCD struggle!!!

I habe no interest in learning about God anymore. I've had enough

I felt I could have wrote this question myself. I have come to realize that I was not only my father’s scapegoat but my siblings and their children as well.

This condemnation is dreadful. The dread of condemnation is even more scary. 😢

Very effective. Very happy to find you Mark
