Do you find yourself slipping into the fear based hooks of "What Ifs?" all the time? Today I want to share with you about the disempowering patterns that "What If" thinking drives us into and encourage you to step into new thinking that will add life to your healing and freedom journey.

This ministry is a life line. I've withdrawn myself from most of christian youtube, when I first came to Christ I enjoyed reading my bible and watching videos about God. A lot of videos consisted of sermons, apologetics, christians debating people with other world views and the occasional prophecy videos. While I had fun watching them, a lot of them didn't really help me grow in faith. It just made me either head smart about the bible or paranoid I was sinning.

I’m in the same boat brother. I even reached the point where I thought Christianity was not right for me, but thankfully I preserved my relationship with God and figured I just had to be more selective with all the teachings about faith.

Thank you! I’m glad someone said it this way. “ I’m firing my interpreter “. For us OCD people it can be easy to say I tried firing my interpreter and then it came back. It’s a continuous action daily.

My name should be WHAT IF!! My what ifs have kept me frozen in fear for so many years. And always when stuff is going good the what ifs appear. I have bought so many books on amazon hoping for something to connect too and I came across this you tube channel and wow I feel like each video was meant for me.

I was broken and wounded from being cheated on in a relationship. My church was nowhere to be found and acted as if I was a burden with quick get over it answers. I prayed for wisdom through this, and found your channel. Mark, thank you from the bottom of my heart and teaching me that God does love me through all this and getting me back to my identity in His Son in the most compassionate way as I hated myself after this event.

I cannot express my gratitude for finding this video. I have been in a vicious cycle of "what if" thinking for years. I desperately want a breakthrough because this is not who I am, it's who I became. This video has helped me tremendously. I am now learning to trust God and I am taking steps to emotional health. God bless you 🙏🏽

This is accurate Mark, it's like if there's always a problem to every solution in this " what if's " and my root is the fear punishment of God

Take the hand of the Father, recalibrate, God loves you - he’s for you, he’s working in your life, you’re right where you should be. I can’t serve perfectionism, hyper vigilance, dark thoughts, or anger or fear any more. Problems will arise, and God will help us through them. Fire the interpreter in your head and ask God‘s love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control into your life.

I'm so glad I am mostly free from the ' what ifs '......I lived with them for so many years and you are spot on Mark with how they can cripple us into not making decisions. I am now living in the moment more consistently than I have since I can remember. It's definitely life enhancing casting all my cares onto Jesus.👌✝️🆓

I found the best way to remedy this problem is doing a lot of physical activities and interaction with people , so you have less time ruminating. It's very tiring thinking all the time. Just stop and don't think too much. We need a brake in our mind. And said to ourselves its enough, done. This is highly related to double mindedness

Currently at this point. I was dabbling in the LOA throughout the year to have my ideal life to which it never worked yet I stayed believing it, during my prelims I told myself if I don't do well despite studying then I would leave LOA and 'vwalla' I didn't do well in those subjects. I slowly started rekindling my relationship with God before having received the results, a week before I believe. So I decided to leave it to God however writing my finals, I felt he was distant. I felt scared that God may use this opportunity to teach me a lesson. I haven't enjoyed my other exams despite studying for them. I started getting angry with him, losing my sense of reality, I'm at an odd point feeling there's no use for me to study. However I noticed that I went through so many stages during this process. What if: 1.) God abondened me and I won't get good grades. 2.) God doesn't love me,and Im crazy for thinking he will take me back. 3.) God is using me as an example for someone else to not follow. This left me double minded, hating God all over again and being rebellious, now I'm trying to get back again.

I’m starting to doubt my salvation a lot and sometimes when I try to have faith that I’m saved and forgiven I just have this fear r thought creeping in “what if your fooling yourself and your not actually saved “ I seriously don’t know what to do I just feel miserable

Hey friend, I am dealing with this too. It’s hard when everyone around you doesn’t seem to understand the struggle. I feel like giving up sometimes and wonder if God is this still there or if I sinned too badly for Him to even want me anymore.

@zacklaplant1861 Жыл бұрын

You're not alone. I have similar thoughts too. Something that has helped is learning to make fear an enemy while being kind to myself. I often have thoughts like, "What if you're pretending and you're a narcissist and you're not preaching the gospel" and all kinds of fear based stuff. That's not from God. You're not alone! God's got us!

@treymaddox2461 Жыл бұрын

I dealt with that insecurity 7 years ago followed by blasphemous thoughts etc. I came to realize that when you doubt your salvation is when you don’t “Feel” saved. Salvation isn’t a feeling ““For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.” ‭‭John‬ ‭3‬:‭16‬ “God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God.” ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭2‬:‭8‬ ‭ I could post many more scriptures that will support that as long as you believe and confess Jesus as your lord and savior you are indeed saved. The enemy plants those thoughts in our minds to strip us of our Faith continue to endure family God bless!!!!
