Wow! Thank you. I struggle with “do I believe?” “What is faith? Do I have it?” etc. so much. Sometimes you just have to move in faith that you HAVE and focus on Gods love that came before all your faith, love or anything else that you do.

"I believe overcoming OCDers have great faith" AMEN Mark!

I struggle with health OCD which has taken me down the belief OCD. Do I believe in God, am I really saved, Etc…. It causes me stress while reading the Bible and praying. I compare myself to other believers. I wonder if God approves of me like He approves other believers. I am not allowing this to pushed me away from God. I’m learning to walk by Faith not by feelings. Thank you for this video. I’m glad I’m not the only one struggling with this.

The OCD of feeling like one doesn’t believe enough and then trying to convince oneself that he does believe enough reminds me of the kid on the Polar Express when he had trouble believing in hearing the jingle in Christmas Sleigh Bell. He finally believes … by faith. He pushes past the doubt and believes. He says “I believe, I believe, I believe!”

This is me 100%! I do not doubt Jesus or what He did for me. I am fully convinced He accomplished my salvation on the cross. I just doubt myself, my belief, and if I have true faith or just have mental assent.

“Have we been equipped?” That’s what I’m realizing in my life. That lack of equipment. Thankful for your shepherd heart for the church, Mark! And Jesus meeting Thomas in his unbelief has always been a great encouragement to me!

How do these videos pop up just when I need them🥹👏🏻 Holy Spirit thank you for working through Mark!!! Mark & Melissa , y’all are now my internet parents btw🤣🤣

This is wonderful! God bless you brother Mark 😄

I love every video more than the last! I sent the last one to my dad, who has mentored me through scrupulosity my whole life, and he writes back, "Where was this guy when you were 12?!? He GETS it!" So, so SO thankful that you continue to read the minds of OCD sufferers everywhere and speak life into us!!

Literally was just talking to God about what's wrong with my belief for the millionth time and this popped up. Thanks. 💝

" Do I really believe in the work of Jesus Christ alone ? Or do I trust in the fact that I believe or that I go to church or that I am a good person ? What if I trust in my work without being aware of it. I really need to trust in Jesus aloooooone" Well, this me...

Me right now…always concerned and anxious about God’s will 😅

I am shocked. Mark, how do you do this? I have literally been struggling with do I believe enough for salvation and in God's love for me for weeks, and you posted a video on it. Like, omg. Why is it everytime I have a particular struggle, the same week you post a video on what I am thinking of. I think God is speaking to you for me cause I've been such a wreck over this. That is amazing.

I hade to add this one to my playlist for sure Staring at unbelief is fruitless 👌🏾

"If you wanted a rich relationship with God, you would have it..." I sat through teachings like that for a long time... Asking God to help me forgive such manipulative teachings.

Thank you so much ! I cried tears of joy this morning because I finally feel like I have relief !

Video hasn’t even started and I already hit the like button because I already know it will be good, I’ll like it and it will be a blessing! God bless you Pastor Mark and Melissa!

Really appreciate these videos. The first one I saw was on being double-minded, It really pushed me forward. Been listening ever since - TY Mark!

Why do your videos always seem like the perfect answer to my momentary obsession? 😂

You lived this and The Holy Spirit is working through you in mighty ways

This man is so on to truth that I have never heard anyone break it down like this

I feel understood. I thought I was alone in this

This is such a resonant message for right now, just to "decide" and then step out in faith in that decision, in acceptance and love along the journey. Thanks so much for all that you do!

Such a great video! This is something I have dealt with forever, but am getting better with the help of a great OCD therapist. She says scrupulosity in her opinion is the easiest form of OCD to treat because there is always going to be doubt when your faith is in an unseen God. So her solution is to tell us we simply have to CHOOSE to LIVE our faith, exactly as Mark presents here. It’s that old OCD technique of “living your values”. No matter how disconnected from God we feel, we have to choose to live like we have no doubt. The action of faith then breeds the peace of faith. That has been absolutely life-changing for me.

Hey folks could you pray for me? I do have ocd and anxiety disorder but recently I have been so, so, so afraid again. I just woke up in the middle of the night. I saw the most hate filled dream I have seen in a long time. I very rarely see those kinds of dreams. I just wanna get things right with God and get my mind in order. No matter what it is or takes

You knocked this one out the park Mark. Thanks man. Just began reading your new book. Appreciate all your hard work my man.

This is so true! It’s like you’re right there in my mind. You’re such a blessing, Mark!

😂😂😂 hostage interrogation 😂😂😂 soooo true!

Always thankful for your content Mark 🙏 blessings brother 🤎!

Very insightful video brother. Idk if this counts but I suffer a bit of an illness and severe health anxiety and I definitely have ocd over that, it's really tough constantly having catastrophic thoughts when I have symptoms, I feel I never have a true moment of peace , always paranoid always checking, it's awful 😞 I need much prayer. Blessings from Canada :)

You're ministry is such a blessing. I ordered your online course on nurturing 💕 😊

I go to a church that really pushes walking in the new Adam and doing away with the old and i always pick up condemnation from it because Pastor makes it sound like you won’t “make it to the promised land” or you won’t be ready for the “new thing”. You gotta “get Babylon out of you.” This really messes with me and gets me spinning during the Bible study. Spinning in fear. What if I am not there yet and everyone else is and they could all tell that I’m not there yet. I feel judged. I have even felt like Pastor is looking at me when he says, some of you are still walking in the old man and don’t even know it. I don’t feel the grace in it. I sense that they elevate faith over love. Ive seriously considered finding another place of worship. I’ve also felt shunned by a group of women that I went on a conference trip with. I sensed that I was being gossiped about. 😢 Where is the love? I sense a lot of performance in this church. When I first found it, about four years ago, I was thrilled because I sensed that it was a fired up (for Jesus) church. And I could really feel the Spirit moving. I have found myself questioning a lot of things about it, and some of the congregant’s lately. No judgement. I pray for them. We all have faults but I just sense that they are not giving room for the process. I also sense cliques and that they show favorites over certain people. I’m so happy I found your content. It has helped me so much! I am learning to slow down, give God all my worries, frustrations, things I spin about, asking him to root out self-hate in my heart, and I am really receiving his peace, love, joy, hope, fruit of the Spirit. It has been transforming but it has been a battle too because spinning and ruminating have been something I’ve done for so many years. It’s like I just woke up to it recently. I kept asking God to purify my heart and he has been showing me things left and right that I need to have him help me to get rid of. Mornings (upon awakening) are the hardest times for me where the enemy tries to convince me that I haven’t grown, healed, changed and it’s hopeless. Thanks Mark (of Jesus 😊 ) for all you do for the body of Christ, who are all in process and it’s okay. I’m a mixed breed too btw … Italian, Greek, Mexican, and Spaniard. 🌶️ 🫒 🍝 🥔 … 😝

Thank you Mark this was brilliant . 😊

Wow this was such a blessing to me, thank you for this video! And I also wanted to thank you because you got me to laugh with the voice changing and unbelief meter- I really needed to have a good laugh so thank you lol.

My head hurts looking for fully.

Haven’t watched yet, but the thumbnail is hilarious. 😂 Looking through a microscope would also be way too fitting for our microanalysis. 🤣

I too tell people "watch this part!" "Watch this watch this!" I've always done it since I was a kid!! 🤣💀

I loveee the thumbnail 😂

All the stuff you teach on.....I do. And it honestly feels like I'll never change

Mr. Fully is one nagging fellow. It reminds me of John Mark Pantana saying we've died to "Mr. Law" that we may be married to "Mr. Grace". 😁 “Sometimes, the voice of Mr. Law is so loud she [Christ's bride; the church] thinks she's still married to him.”

Where is Fully?😂 Seriously, I don’t know where I’d be if it wasn’t for your ministry. You’ve been an extreme blessing in my life. I purchased your newest OCD book and I’m looking forward to reading it. God bless!

I want healing and faith. Who wouldn't want it?

Will telling myself “Maybe I believe, maybe I don’t” help?

I have unbelief, and I need Jesus to help my unbelief. I'm same as Thomas daily.

This is all me....draining the life out of me. 😖🤦🏼‍♂️🙇🏼‍♂️

I really stuggle with composively checking my salvation and I end up compovively living by Law. One time I felt bad for eating swine (pig). I wear mixed fabrics. I'm really careful what i wear to be modest; I've considered buying nyself a vile. I feel an obligation to follow the rules constently. I constently yell to myself because if these intusive thoughts. These thoughts dont refelt me but I feel guilty anyways because I feel I should stop or at least minimize them. I constently feel condemned. I consently live with feelings of guilt. I often resonate with this verse: "And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief." -- Mark 9:24 (KJV) Often, everyday, tears fill my eyes. I toss and turn at night. I found my self not getting sleep. Everyday I'm awake for 19 hours. I just had the longest night. I know Faith a Life-Long journey. Its alot diffrent when practiced but, truly in my heart I trust Jesus. I have doubts but i always remember the account of John, one of Jesus' Closest Disciple. I know he is compassionite, understanding, patiant, loving, he does not forget about you, he is always with you. With Him by my side I can pull though. I've read The Gospel according to John and Mark. I'm now on the historical account of Luke. I think Im going to reread the Accounts of John and Mark to a refresh on what is true.

Please pray for me. I keep praying to God. Let him know I am a sinner and need Jesus as my saviour. I receive him into my life and ask for the Holy Spirit time and time again. Then I question if I have genuine belief. Even if I have belief. I fell like it’s tiny like a mustard seed. Then I watch other KZfaq videos that talk about how people thought they were saved but they weren’t and then it scares me more and I feel like what if God turns me away when I meet him? I also had a thought the other day when I was praying and it said, “ you are not saved.” 😢 I am wondering if that is God talking to me. All I know is that when I do sin, I feel bad because I disappointed God and that is what makes me die absolutely awful.

Me: Where is Mr. Fully?

@Mark DeJesus I have a multitude of questions that are really troubling me. However, I will start with one that is really tormenting me: What do I do if what God is telling me to do is the thing that I fear doing?

Mark what bout Idolatry. Ive been asking God to help me not to make things or people idols and ive been praying and praying and dont know what to do

If you read the word it is pretty specific, the road is narrow

I cringe at the phrase "saving faith", do I really have it!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! I have faith but do I have SAVING FAITH - that's a whole 'nother level of the truly saved, and if I could just get a hold of it - o wait, there telling me that I can't get it, but God has to give it to me! Oh dear, did God give me saving faith or am I just exercising fleshly non-saving faith! Was I elect? or am I chosen for destruction. Maybe my motives were wrong. etc. etc.

The whole lordship salvation theology doesnt help with this at all

Would love to have a video on that "rich relationship with God" topic. Your comment on "I don't have it, therefore I must not want it - that's the toxic interpreter" was helpful. But Christians always talk about "their relationship with God" and it's almost always felt empty to me. And when I look back on the times that it didn't, the toxic interpreter just says "Ya, you made that up because you wished it was true". Anyone know if he already did a video that would help there?

That is the crucible

What does step forward as though your saved now mean

Fully is a bully 😅

Do I believe in divine healing ? I've been going through lots of sickness, accidents and emotional traumas since 2012. And this question tortures me ? As soon I am with people that preach healing, i feel so bad. 😢

Can you do a video on warefare and deliverance and like how to settle it down because sometimes the topic can get overwhelming

I don't see how people with OCD (at least the way I had it) can even stay Christians. After being a pretty hardcore believer for a few years as a young man, I eventually had to stop being a Christian and got professional help. I'm not angry or bitter anymore, but I've tried a little to go back to being a Christian a few times over the years, and it just doesn't work. In fact I think Christianity itself becomes this vicious addiction. I've tried explaining this to other Christians before and I always get some interesting responses lol.
