I needed this. I have been struggling so bad with ocd and feel trapped. I am keeping faith that God is going to pull me through.

"You're looking into scriptures out of a fear/condemnation lens" Jeez that hit hard.

Been living in fear for the entirety of my life, quite literally the entirety. Sometimes I wonder, "have I become so accustomed to this that I actually cling to it because I don't know how else to think and feel?" Good gravy it's horrible.

Mark, Your own transformation is such a powerful testimony. I hope to one day be able to say, “I’m a completely different person.” Thank you for all you’re doing for us.

His videos are so so helpful, am thankful to God for his life

So helpful! And it's coming from someone who knows what this hell is like.

My therapist told me to watch Mark in between sessions and it helps so much God bless all the work you do.

I just started today reading your book I Will Not Fear, and I have discovered my top fear is fear of God's rejection, which leads to fear of sabotaging my own spiritual walk, fear of abandonment, fear of deception, fear of hell, fear of fear, and fear of missing my destiny. I had never experienced fear like this until I was attacked by an evil spirit one day. I was not mature enough in my spiritual walk to understand what was going on, and it sent me into supernatural terror and fear. But even now that I know it was demonic in nature and God is not against me, it's almost like it is so ingrained it's part of my DNA. I lost hope for years of being free but could not emotionally check out; I would weep and plea to God for help, and He sent prophetic dreams to my wife about my deliverance, and I have held on to these as hope. My problem is I need to learn how to fight the good fight of faith. The fear attacks make me see God as the problem for not delivering me, and in reality, it's just the voice of suffering that wants free now and accuses God of not caring because He has the power to deliver but chooses not to. God's best is not deliverance but long-term change that becomes permanent. I really struggle some days, but what else can I do but hang on?

Mark, you're offering freedom and hope to people struggling so deeply, and trending toward despair or worse. Please stay on track. We who struggle and labor along these lines tend toward legalism. Your message brings freedom -- which IS the real & true gospel. Keep it up 🎶✨

Wow, wow, wow! Mark you’re such a lifeline. Thank you for this. I think the days we live in, with bad news BOMBARDING us 24/7 if we let it, fear is creeping in, hence the terrible, terrible thoughts…

One of my biggest things now is how other people view me. I push everyone away. I feel like I always give people this fake-confident/tough/mean/angry energy (protection mechanism) to make it seem that I’m 100% good and confident. Terrible. Now I gotta actually face other people and it’s scary b/c I feel like they all wanna laugh at me lol

I'm on a journey! It's gonna be a lonnnnng journey. It may take months, but victories are not immediate. Battles are instant. Journeys take time. Jesus will help all of us on our journey. With love and nurture.

Hi Mark, I am such a happy subscriber. Today is my 45th birthday. I am watching this video. This has been my private hell and nightmare that I have struggled with for so many years. As a Christian, I have done so many of the things you’re talking about… Whether it’s Christian-based or not I have been trying to do with it through a lens of fear. This is truly a beautiful birthday present. Love you brother. Thanks for all you and your wife do ❤️🙏♥️

dude, I cannot thank you enough for these videos. The last two days I have been paralyzed with fear but EVERYTHING you're talking about as far as symptoms, I have. I had no clue I had ocd but I looked up scrupulosity because I was having involuntary blasphemous thoughts and sure enough, I had all of the symptoms. You have given me so much hope in these videos.

So powerful! I’ve had fearful, intrusive thoughts for the past 7 years & your video is helping me to simply say, “it’s just a thought” & it doesn’t define me - this isn’t me! which helped the fears lose their hold on my heart. I could feel the fear leaving my heart! Thank you so much. I was in the hospital 4 times for severe anxiety, PTSD, & fear. Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom with us! ❤

Mark, thank you for the effort you put into these videos. Thank you for rooting your teaching in Scripture and for being open and honest about your struggles. I came across a video of yours completely “by accident” a couple months ago. You’ve shed light on the true issues that underlay battles in the mind, and I have been able to make great strides of growth and healing because of that. God bless and thanks again for the content. 👍🏼

This message is so powerful. Thank you Lord for bringing this truth through Mark. I feel hope in my despair..

Mark's books have been lifesavers!!! The OCD Healing Journey helped me immediately, I put the recommendations into use right away & it changed my entire life! I was trapped in awful torment and pain, panic, and high anxiety by my fearful intrustive and sometimes blasphemous thoughts, reacting in love has been a game changer versus reacting in fear to the torment. It takes practice to learn but is so powerful! I cannot emphasize enough on the power of this book! and his other books! I'm a HUGE FAN! I just ordered more of his books so that I can have all of them!

Thank you Mark. Watching this with my son who struggles with OCD. 😭❤️

I made the mistake of watching the Aaron Bushnell video. My brain will not let it go. I am working with a therapist, but this video is the blessing that i needed. Also, up until recently i had considered myself an Atheist. I am working on getting to know God again.❤

Thank you for reminding tht I'm not alone on this journey.

Wow!!!!!! "Rescue me mode" ughhhhh. That is me. Running from the fear to the point that I have had dissociation this past year. I was running from coach to therapist and all the programs never worked. I am ready Lord for a mew way of living... ❤❤❤❤

I wanted to say Chris God for using you to help me. The Lord gave me the courage and the strength to stand up and to resist the obsessive thoughts of Satan and immediately the burden left my mind I was very joyful for the victory now the Bible text becomes alive to me and real where it says submit unto God resist the devil and he will flee from me

This message was 100% spot on . . . All these patterns and symptoms somehow sneaked up on me and became totally overwhelming. 😤😤😖😖 "The solution to your fear is love." 👋🏻😖 Amen...

This so powerful. I am struggled with homicidal thoughts for so long and of course I would never do it, but my OCD has me believing this is something I could do and places fear in me. I also have this fear that everyone is judging my tattoos all the time and thinks I am a bad person. But its a just thought and not based in the truth.

Glad i found you nearly 1 year ago Mark thank you once again. I wanna say I love you brother like i really felt it at the end of video, that im So greatfull for somebody like you diving Deep into this topic of OCD battles. Man I even teared up a little. God bless you and Best regards from Poland.

My struggell right now is people that want to make me less and accuse me.....it just go on and on for 5 years now...so.time to stand....dit tell them thats no true...moving away from it...but 5 year i was like silent said nothing...but this time i stand who i am in christ..

I love this guy! He is doing the work of God helping people who really need it big time. What an amazing soul! God bless him!

I thank you for this video. I related 100 % and it has been life changing . God Bless you and the ministry the Lord has entrusted you with...

Amen. Mark, God is speaking through you. This entire video I just kept saying “amen!” “God you are speaking through him” “god you are working through him.” Mark the lord is working through you to help others through their journey. Thank you so much for continuing to spread gods love and that, that is the only way to get through this journey.

Your presence is amazing on KZfaq or what comes through and secondly, thanks for the reminder. I don’t believe you because you say it I believe it because I’ve seen it and I am in the process of it. It’s awesome and thank you for the reminder was great thanks for the encouragement. You have a wonderful day. Wonderful life wonderful whatever.

I just realized this video is 3y old. If any reads this, please keep me in your prayerd❤

Thank you my brother you are literally my therapist I'm learning more about myself so I can give it to God

My wife and I ran across one of your videos a week ago. I can’t put words to how thankful we are for your journey, testimony, and choice to help and disciple others. We are standing up against OCD. We are 5 years into this Journey and finally someone who understands!

God bless you MarkdeJesus I’m 14 and I couldn’t find anything and then Jesus brought me here pls pray for me if you can 😊thank you from the Middle East my parents even didn’t understand and would ask why is my daughter going through this is it normal they were so sad but ever since I’ve starting implementing this it has helped there is a future for all of us Suffering it’s a journey but thanks be to God you don’t have to see the whole horizon to know it’s beautiful with God

What a time to be alive to have these resources. Thanks a lot Mark. God bless you

Mark, thanks for sharing, ur word is like a light for me in a dark tunnel. God bless u!

Thank you for these messages I find myself listening to them over and over haha.

Thanks Mark.I love your teachings

I can’t begin to tell you how much your Videos have helped me and are still helping me. You explain things in a way that I have never heard before. I am on a massive healing journey. I have already bought four of your books and it is all coming together now along with your online teachings. Thank you so much! 🙏 thank you so much! 🙏 God bless you x

Hello mark, I'm deeply blessed by your message, Praise God

Thank you!!!! I've been getting free more and more each day.

This video was honestly so comforting, it gave me hope and courage to "fight" these thoughts. Thank you Mark.

Thank you so much. You are a true blessing to us believers who walk the lonely road of recovery from scrupulosity and OCD.

Needed this Mark, thank god for people like you ❤️

Your ministry has greatly helped me in a small time frame. I’m a therapist and life coach going through healing myself and this has definitely helped me. I would love to talk to you one day on my channel one day , your a great teacher

Beautiful and very clearly explained, with so much confidence.

Thank you so much brother Mark this is so helpful!!

I just found your channel. I prayed last night to God letting Him know that I don't want him to take away these feelings/thoughts but to help me sit with it and just fight thru it. Thank you for this message. It's confirmation of what I know I need to do, and instead of running and avoiding it, to get thru things, you have to just be uncomfortable for a little while.

This is excellent. Thank you brother in Christ

Mark, I have been so touched by the teachings of Love and how it's changing my life. I bought your book on the Fathers Love for us. I am taking notes and praising God for showing me it's not a race, it's a journey. I am feeling more rest and peace that I haven't felt in a long time!!!

Thank you for sharing your knowledge! I also wanted to compliment you on how nice and cozy your background is.

I have never had it us I’ve thoughts until last week- on a very deep and personal level. Made me physical I’ll to the point I’ve lost 6 lbs ana I’m only 120lbs to begin with. Very deep and very personal related to past trauma. So disassociating it from me is very- very hard. But sometimes taking thoughts into captivity is acknowledging there’s no meaning and cast it out.

I found your video on relationship anxiety and it’s been so helpful. I wonder if the fear/anxiety tries to show up as different thoughts, like my relationship has run its course. Because the thoughts feel real and true! Leaves me so confused! And until I have certainty I feel stuck. Pray I gain clarity.

Thank you so much!!!

Thank you Mark for all the work that you do. I am simultaneously new to Christianity and new to unlearning OCD. You do a great job in helping ease my Religious OCD and have allowed me many moments of peace. It has allowed me to go further in my walk with God and allowed me to feel the grace and peace we've been gifted.

What a great video. Thank you. May your ministry continue to be blessed

Wow I am first! Woo hoo. So I feel like I totally to 100% of everything you say. Why can’t I get over my own wicked desires and thoughts. I ruminate in all these things

Thank you, Mark. This is so helpful for me. Glad I found this video. I so grateful listening to this TvT

Thanks so much for this ❤

Great Man being used by God

With you all the way,brother,understand completely❤

I developed intrusive thoughts after dealing with a heavy load of stress a while back. The thoughts disappeared for about 4 years but recently had a relapse. I did some self help which did help for some time, i actually felt like I was getting better. Now, I'm back to square one again and I'm going through the whole thing once more. I know these are intrusive thoughts and they are out of character for me but the anxiety and fear is still there. I seriously need help. Sometimes the thoughts can feel real and i feel derealization at times. I get lightheaded from the panic and anxiety.

Thank you so much for everything you said and how you explained everything I have felt ❤️

Thankyou so much! I really thought I was crazy. No body talks about old. They just tell you to take medicine. There is nothing wrong with medicine but it has a lot of side effects.

Thanks. Like. Your what you saying thanks I'm 73 it's not easy in life it's bin terrible for me bone in 1950.in a mill town in Lancashire England UK pendle just after the war. Poverty 5 kids. Out side tollets. Long drops not good enough than wife problems thoughs of the past. Wish I wasn't ear some times but Im listen to you thanks 🇬🇧🙏😢

i hired the thought police .. great vid. tx

This is such powerful, helpful information -- thank you for your emphasis on love casting out fear and being gentle with ourselves; all in & through God the Father.

God leads me to you. I trust. I just bumped into your video on google

I really needed this! Thank you, you’re the best!

Thank you so much for this ! God bless you❤

I struggle with this I am so afraid of my thoughts and that it will become an reality. Please pray for me!

Thank you very much sir, your explanation is wonderful, it will help me to improve my thoughts . God bless your family.

Great video ! Thanks Mark !

I love you brother

Wow this help me thank you....

Awesome I struggle with ocd this helps so much

May the good Lord have Mercy

Somethings wrong with my brain, I hear what you’re saying but I still just don’t get it, I’m so intwined with my thoughts and feelings being who I am that I don’t even know how to overpower them with love, I’ve experienced so much gaslighting in my life, I guess the question is after years of feeling like you are these things how do you grow out of it?

Thank you I was feeling small just watching a bunch of role playing games on the internet because role playing games make your avatar literally feel small it’s supposed to be like that

Really great stuff!! Thank you

Wao! Wao! Thank you Jesus.

Great cure to all Mark .

God bless this man!!

Thank You. Need to work on this been taking Zoloft for depresión and ocd. Struggles with images thoughts

Thank you for your amazing video, I also have the fear that mine is maybe not OCD or maybe mine is different or I cant be treated like other patients because of the way I think, or maybe I will over think the healing process to the point that I can never recover, but then you said it, that was just another thought LOL. "its just a thought" "its just a thought" I also realised that I have had OCD tendencies since grade , but I never knew what it was. I had to go recite my day over and over in my head and walk away from people so that I could not be interrupted when I was doing it and If i made a mistake I had to start over. It was exhausting, but then reliased as that young age that I didn't have to do it. What was the purpose and what was I gaining and was it worth it...

This video was perfect for me

Thoughts can be from you or not. Matthew 15:19. You can have a genuine evil thought. We all are sinners. Its a fact. But if you have faith that Jesus forgives you of all your sins amd trespasses colossians 13:2 then whether you have a genuine bad thought or not it will be OK. Just try to move on. With ocd this is hard. But you got to try and do it. Faith over fear and or feelings. I like a quote from Micheal Jordan " limits, like fear is often an illusion. "

I love your teaching ♥ ❤

Hey Mark what would you recommend for Religious OCD and condemning thoughts and Anxiety I have it really bad to where I’m always wondering if I’m hearing Gods voice or my own to the point where I don’t even want to serve God no more I’m always living in fear of what my next thought is going to be I hate it and I’ve tried to walk away from God but I always come back to Him but then I’ll get overwhelmed again and leave again even members of my church will tell me Andrew your overthinking it and it’s not that serious what your thinking about and I get even more frustrated cause I feel like I’m the only Christian I know that struggles like this and I’m tired of it I just want freedom what can I do Mark I need help!

Thanks!

I’ve let my intrusive thoughts control me so bad that now I’m afraid of it.

Thank you so much.

We should also Rebuke those thoughts in Jesus name. The devil does whisper negativity in our ears. We also need to learn to discern Gods voice, our voice, and the devils voice.

Pray for me sir. Thanks again 🇬🇧❤️

One thing I catch myself forgetting about is the tarnishment of sin'- it always wants to such you back in...

Thank you so much

i deal with thoughts but also irrational thoughts in life that I see almost every day. hard to shake

Hi Mark, I am suffering recently from intrusive thoughts/ obsession, which course shall I take on your website? I am not quite sure. Thanks

@Mark DeJesus Does this also apply to unwanted dreams and nightmares? Thank you, Mark.
