This is some of the best teaching. I am surprised it's not filled with comments. I am going to do a Bible study off of his teaching. The Lord woke me up and gave me this. Thank you for your obedience brother may God continue to bless you

God brought me to your sermons. Thank you Mark. My wife has asked me for a divorce almost a month ago. I asked her if we could give our marriage to God. Accepting Jesus is the best thing I've ever done. I've learned so much through your work Mark. Thank you and my Lord and savior Jesus Christ. God has given me strength to change my life and I continue to pray every day now. Even my daughters have grown comfortable with "saying goodnight to God" ❤ hallelujah ❤

This is my life currently. Message I needed to hear loud and clear. Received. God bless 🙌. My husband has stage four prostate metastatic cancer. We adopted his three precious grandchildren. We are in our sixties had recently retired, recently married. His house flooded twice...life is hard...my father an alcoholic...my first husband an adulterer...I pray for everyone listening. 🙏 God is faithful. I had not realized Jesus took my shame. Thank you Lord. 😊

Bow & arrow "Going back to move forward " "Go back & deal with a few things, to load up power to move your life forward." "You can have pain & when something happens, you're over reacting because you're not just reacting to that, you're reacting to that which happened prior as well ." "If it's brokenness internally, & bad behavior externally, if all we do is go after the external behavior & not the internal brokenness, we're not really helping the person."

My pain is from having 76 years with a close person being used of satan..being in my life..who is a narcissist. Having only recently finding help(on utube)..and pulling away. I repented of any known or unknown sins and discovered(through desperate pain).. that it wasn’t me. I pray to God in Jesus name, that more people will be used to help. This type of person can rob you of everything.

I prefer this type of admonishment (counseling) instead "having people all up in my business." "All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work." 2 Timothy 3:16-17

Wow. I swore off Christianity after a childhood filled with religious abuse but this makes me contemplate, considering giving Jesus another chance. Either way this is a message worth hearing and I needed it. I have a bitter heart that I want softened but I can’t let go of the hurt. I’ve tried therapy, medication, read every self help book. Journaling, yoga, anger management, cried enough tears to fill the Red Sea. I’ve lost friends, family, moved hundreds of miles away for solitude and clarity and I’m still so broken. Im constantly reminded of the unfairness I’ve endured and the pain of betrayal. I’m so desperate to be free of this hurt. I’ve tried everything but God. Against my better judgement I may give him another chance. I have nothing to lose at this point.

I plan on listening to this message once a month for the next year or so.

If you go after the bad behavior without listening to what broke someone, it can only make them feel more abandoned, hopless and harder to heal.

I love this: "All of a sudden there's a mushroom cloud all over your life." A real danger of bitterness and unforgiveness: verbally unleashing curses on people's lives. What are we told: '"We'll be held accountable for every careless word we utter." That's sobering.

I broke up with my boyfriend. We had sexual relations and a lot of trauma. I want to so much to go back to him so bad. I need to draw closer to the Holy Spirit. I need to draw closer to my God. I need to pray right now. My love to all of you during these hard times

God led me to your channel and I am so happy! It is such a blessing to find a pastor that really loves God and man. This is what I feel when I hear your sermons. God bless you !

Listeniing to this again.

So dense. Have to listen to again. Really appreciate this teaching.

Thank you brother. All 8 points reveal truths of me that until now I had no idea of how to let the Holy Spirit help me nor did I realize I even needed it. I will repeatedly listen to this because it's the truth but it needs to sink into the depths of my soul. Thank you for being obedient and faithful because this is the only way that I could be helped and I thank GOD for HIS goodness in you. ❤❤❤

Thank you Mark Driscoll!! This really gave me Clarity. I will definitely watch this again and I'm taking notes. Thank you God for leading me towards this video I will look up all his videos and continue to learn.

Thanks for this wonderful teaching. After a broken heart, I felt empty inside and I couldn't love God properly. I'm getting delivered.

Thank you Mark for teaching this sermon. I have to watch it again because your words have opened my heart and mind. My mind to deep thought and my heart to deep healing. I thank Jesus for leading me to your teaching and your humor. I’m an old woman now but still learning more things that the Lord has for me. Thank you very much. God bless you!🇨🇦🇨🇦❤️🇮🇱🇺🇸🙏🏼🙏🏽✝️🕎☝🏻June 2023

God has put it in my heart to watch you and listen to your ministry. I'm a 74 year old great grandma, and you have taught me so much. Listening to your men's ministry reminded me to let go of the hurts that the men in my life have put themselves through and the rest of my family along with them. Thank you and may God bless you greatly.

Thank you🙏🥵😭Please put me on your prayer list Pastor, broken,💔💔bad men my whole life, it’s their turn to give, help,trying really hard to heal, care for me, not everyone else, existed, traumatized, evil spirits from others,I reached that pain I couldn’t handle anymore grief, loss, cruelty on top of cruelty, lots of trauma 🥵🥵🥵😭😭😭🙏🙏a few years ago, please pray for me🙏😭🥵Crisis after crisis. Biggest enemies are those you love, the thief comes to kill steal and destroy, then blame and punish you. My husband has cheated since he married me, I let a demon in my life, you have no idea what he’s done to me, tried it all, it’s demonic, gave evil for good. This is just 1 trauma grief, I’m not high control kind caring giving loving, been highly controlled my whole life. Renewing my mind, the voices are abusers, lies, thieves, he spiritual warefare, I am tired of it forgiving 1k times a day

No matter how many times I listen to this, I need to listen more!

I am so grateful that I found this video.

PLEASE GOD I AM DESPERATE

Divine Knowledge sometimes in life you need to hear from a different perspective. Blessings to you Mark Driscoll🙏🏽

I think i love this pastor lol im so glad GOD led me to this guy. Thank you so much this is the best sermon I think I've heard on forgiveness made me cry and then made me rejoice and then I was able to tell God I sincerely loved him without being just grateful for grace because of my mistakes which isn't good I am able to realize how he works in mysterious way and truly was happy I lost my job lol.

EXCELLENT, PRACTICAL TEACHING! I've been praying about dealing with my past hurts and this was an answer to prayer. THANK YOU, JESUS!!! And "Thank You!," Pastor Mark.

You have no idea how much I needed to hear this.

Amen! Purge me from what’s not of you Father and shows us your ways

This is unbelievable. Thank you Mark for such honest insight. I was watching this very early in the morning as I was doing chores. At first, I thought boy he is talking fast. I told myself to listen. I was then slowly pulled in and I really listened. So much was relatable to my life. If you don't find something, look again. We are all damaged in some way. I saved this sermon for a time when I can sit and write. I have had a lot of sadness and trauma in my life but as I walk with Jesus through and in my life I will see someone out there that I know suffers physically. I see it right before me you can't miss it and I say to the Lord I here you Lord and continue through my day. We all need tools to get through our lives and Mark provides some tools. Maybe we just need to reflect on that person that hurt us and look at things from their perspective or talk to a Minister or a Psychologist. Don't let it sit. There are things that happened to us that sometimes are deep or from long ago. Complicated. We all deserve forgiveness. I'm going to definitely listen to this again. I pray for everyone reading this to get the help they need and deserve. In Jesus name I pray Amen. Thanks again Mark.🙏

I don't blame anyone else as far as I am concient of it. I know I am the one who chooses to drink when the going gets tiring and weariness sets in. It is my weakness and my responsibility to deal with it, but sometimes it just feels like it is too much to bear. I feel volnurable and with very little Witt. I feel tired. Beer only helps ease the tension for a short little while. .. man, I just feel like crying like a little mid-40s kid at heart

Listening again!

This should be mandatory show in mainstream media, this is wisdom, most news are just gossip in som form. Thanks alot for this! God bless you Mark!

I really needed to hear this sermon, I am grateful Pastor Mark- truly appreciate the anointing God has on your faithful service to the Body of Christ ❤🙏🏼 thank you.

That’s how I feel most days,crushed and broken seeking Gods face to repair things

Wow thank you so much. This gave me a breakthrough for the first time in a long time. Thank you for doing the work that you do.

Thank you for your teaching of scripture in such a good relatable way.

One of the best sermons I’ve heard! SO much wisdom, truth and love!! I praise God for this message! ❤

I got scammed because of the brokenness I experienced after horrendous narcissistic abuse. My brain was in such a state of trauma that the deception wasn't detected.

Thank you for this message 🙌this message is for me 🙏 it’s been hard 🙏

Thank You so much for this. It’s so good to hear a true voice of God. I’ve used up 15 pages front & back with notes of this. (Notes seem to help me learn better) you really don’t know what you have done for me. I couldn’t have found you at a better time. I was listening to Peter Marshall & somehow got to you. Thank You from my heart.

The BEST TEACHING I have ever heard! Thank you so much! Straight from the word of God

I agree. This is superb teaching. Praise God for this ministry!

I am grateful to God for having me find you. I've been binge watching and gaining more understanding than I have all year so far. Thank you for your bible based teachings and appropriate humor! God Bless you. 🙏🏾

This is my second time listening to this & I'm taking a bunch of notes. I needed this message so badly. My heart is hardened & I'm carrying so much hurt. Praying over these 8 points & asking God to change my heart ❤️

Excellent Word. I needed this teaching. He covered the emotional (soul) of man and offered Christ. 😊

❤Powerful words with clarity. I am so grateful for waking up to this message. Thank you God for this teaching❤

Wow!!! Thank you so much!! Thank you Father for revealing uour fathering heart towards me and my son in hard times. You love us and we are accepted and blessed not rejected and cursed. We are created to be loved and give love.

I wish I would have found you and heard this 20 years ago. This is such a good sermon.

Good advice. Thank you! I pray, plan and then get on with it. I say I can and I will until what I want to accomplish is done. I do what God tells me to do . Yes, I know that voice. I am 76 and He has blessed my life unbelievably. And I don't deserve it.

Thank you very insightful, truly a blessing.

This teaching has given me so much today. I have t even gotten through the whole thing but im going back to take notes. This is so powerful. Recently i was assaulted by the pastor of the church thats been counseling me for 2 years through heavy sexual abuse from my past. And there are many lies that i had untangled that had come back with a vengeance. Along side that my friends have repeatedly told me that this was my fault. My own sin caused this and God let it happen because I’ve been rebelling and cold and distant. After searching my heart i front of God i became angry and rebellious toward God because i believed that it was my fault. That he was punishing me. That i deserved it. I started doing what everyone accused me of… all the while hearing God call me saying dont run im here. I was angry. With in the last two days. God and broken through all the hurt and pain. And I’m still wrestling in front of him. But for the first time in a while i dont feel alone or stressed just. Broken

Great explanation of how to give our burdens to Jesus. I have heard that scripture all of my life, but didn't really get it! Thank you, Brother Mark. Your teachings are life changing.

That is pure Gospel. I love Jesus even more. I had prayed yesterday in our prayer group that I could see more and understand deeper Jesus's sacrifice. That helps me tremendously to walk further with the Lord, facing my problems when they come. Thank you pastor. Praise the Lord and God bless you!

Wow ! What a great message ! What an eye opener

Amazing!! I really needed this today!! THANK YOU for this teaching!! Blessings!! 🙏

Great message... definitely have to listen to again.. great scriptures.. thank you..

I needed this sermon

Thank you Father God , the first step to healing is to admit you need help from the one who freely gives it ! Wonderful message you have to be ready for the change embrace it get well get Jesus & Gods wisdom! 🙏🩸🙏✝️🙏

This is amazing teaching ❤

heal me OH YAH AND I SHALL BE HEALED SAVE AND I SHALL BE SAVED ALL WHO CALL UPON THE NAME THE LORD WHICH IS YAH SHALL BE DELIVERED

Great teaching. God bless you 🙏

I want prayer for my healing, to heal my codependency, My wife runs to rescue her adult son and daughter 25 and 28, always runs to help them with any issues, And is not teachable, I pray 🙏 for healing of always at the bottom of priorities except to provide financial support 😢

Ive lost everything in my life due to parents abuse of me kids brainwashed against me how do i see a future after these consequences the pain is unimaginable

Awesome teaching ❤️

Pastor Mark, too many times pastors teach on Job’s wife, and they ignore the fact that she lost everything too. Numerically 70 times 7 means wholly and completely!

🙌prayers for you, in Jesus name 🙏 amen

I have enjoyed this teaching and I am praying for a 2nd chance to make corrective actions.

Thank u so much for this teaching. It is poignant and life changing/fixing. Thank u and Blessings to u. 🙏🏼

Thank you Pastor ...needed this ❣️🌴☀️

Wow this is an amazing teaching.

Great teaching and wise words...Pastor mark..

Absolutely nailed it... Finally...

This is so, so good! Wow! Sharing.

Well done pastor,this was really helpful for me,help me with my healing journey....of pain in the marriage of 40years.....

I think when a loved one sins against you believing it's a loving God stripping you of your idols almost brings comfort as you try to make sense of it and deal with it...

This is really good, I am blessed.

Love it!

This was for me!!!

❤ Thank you

Pastor Mark, I love and know that he is with me because I should have died. But he saved me. I would be very grateful if you would say a prayer for me as I am having full knee surgery in 10 days. 6 months ago I lost my only son. I miss my Russ very much. 💔 I thank you in advance. In Jesus' name. Amen

Fantastic👍 Blessings

giving in together making balance. we need to fix that balance. God bless you all. where does truthly people listen to each other. they take something and run with it and think theyve got it. 😅

Thank uou

Much needed thank you Lord ❤️

Mrs job is suffering unbearably her children were ripped out from under her she too has suffered unimaginable loss.. Anyone would be devastated. Thank The Father He knows our hearts.. yes she wasn't right but The Lord understands..iam amazed she didnt go absolutely insane..

maybe the root of a hearing problem is wanting to escape the world . ?? iwhere do you find wise COUNSEL? i learned to stop blaming parents, family, past circumstances. I need to focus on Jesus and HIS WORD .

"It wasn't because of Job's sin, it was because of Satan's" Yes.... but that misses the point Satan had to go to God to get permission to test Job, and each time God set limits God is LORD of *all* creation, even the Devil Glory and honor to Him who reigns!

Please pray for awakening to happen within me. Help me heal from ongoing turmoil in Jesus name . Pray I no longer call myself abandoned but named a true daughter of God, he is my Heavenly Father.

Listening for a second time

A sorrowful heart ❤️

Amen and Amen ❤❤❤

How do you practically have grace for someone but not trust them? I feel like in order for someone to show me grace in a situation, it requires a bit of their trust. Or maybe I don't understand either concept? Anyone with a good example, it would really help in my life right now to know the difference

Amen 🙏🏽

Amen ❤

people think everything will work out on its own. something goes crooked. resetit. you yourself not others stick to Jesus. help us Godfather amen

amen. for me the perscription is Jesus. it would be eseaier to deal with Jesus than others. Keeping Balance between 2 differenes. tug of war. 😅 different ages different experiences. i need more time. i agree with you. seeing and doing that. takes time. once you got it. i will do my best.

How do I forgive myself?

I'm at the end of this study, and all the the things mentioned here, are mainly preventable & sound like very immature people couldn't figure out where they went wrong. I have been gutted and paralyzed by pain cause by calculated sick games of abuse on my life. Those things were done by a father that was an LA Deputy Sheriff, who got away with beating me...then it continued through my life until he was a Retired LA Deputy Sheriff who broke my belongings, loved to try for sympathy, which I'd always say, you're forgiven, to the repeat of his horrible actions, horrible name calling, and obvious pleasure of breaking, my belongings, my life, to lying about me to everyone so I would get rejection, after they flung some lie at me. It's a long story, the last assault went on for 3 & 1/2 yrs, with me going to jail because he, behind my back, replaced my defense from lies, with lies to make me look guilty. The same situation that caused a $30,000 payout from the county for him. Basically he beat lying cops at their own game, but allowed them to falsely, actually write false reports, (I was never interviewed by them). No matter how many times God answered my prayers, my dad would destroy them. One day I had a very strong feeling, telling me to get out of your home ASAP, and I mean, pack and go. I went to my daughters 90 miles away for 2 wks. When I got back I heard the police were there every day to arrest me for elderly abuse. I was in my mid 50's, and I just healed from 2 broken ribs when my dad slugged me and left me frozen in pain. I was broken, lost 25 lbs, and I only said, I told you to stop, w my weak voice. I had told him i was going to fix everything, make it right with the false police lies. I had ordered him to stay out of my business, he didn't. He came in my house when my daughter was 16, at the house with her friend, he came to my bedroom, for some reason I locked the door. He said, "Open this door or I'm gonna break it down". I said, Go Away, and he busted in. He committed suicide. I had taken his gun, put it in a lockbox, basically stole it. But I told him, and added, "If you don't stop messing with my life, I'm going to take that gun to my head". Well, a few wks, I felt guilty for taking his gun, so I gave it back. He thought he was going to be exposed for the creep & liar he was, so he shot himself in his head. All of these hurts I've heard here, don't sound like the suffering that destroyed me

❤
