12 Common Guilt-Based Compulsions

Toxic guilt will drive us into a compulsive lifestyle. When we act in compulsion, we are doing something to alleviate the feelings of guilt that rise up within us. But as we keep responding to guilt, we actually empower guilt to become a rising voice in our thoughts and emotions. Our decisions and actions can become highly influenced by guilt. Today I want to call out some common compulsions so you can become more aware and gain freedom.

    Hello brothers in Christ, I seek you to pray for me. I'm 22 years old. I am facing battles in my mind like religious OCD, I feel condemned If I rest from activities, If I enjoy secular content and receive attacks from the enemy. Since two years ago I receive intrusive thoughts like don't take the pencil, today you can't drink coffee, today don't visit your grandparents, these are examples. Sometimes I feel I can't hear God's voice, like God's will for my life is hidden. If feel condemned even by talking to people, seeking help from other christians and my community. I also battle with phone and social media adicction scrolling and scrolling instead of reading God's word because I don't understand, looking for the perfect studying plan. 🙏🎶🌟

    All 12! Trying to heal with therapy. But I’m getting old. And I’m exhausted. Sometimes I just think I will die with all this stuff mark talks about in his videos because I’m exhausted from living. It is such an effort. I can’t grasp God’s gracious eyes. But so badly want to. I just feel so awful all the time.

    I have been helped so much with all of these videos. God definitely led me to them. I have shared them with people I know. To have biblical direction and insight into how to do relationships and learn better the grace of God has been so freeing! I was born and raised in the Two By Two cult. It was really hard coming out of it when I was so conditioned and very full of anxiety and ocd. God bless this channel 🙏💕❤️✝️

    My definition of toxic guilt is guilt we carry from the perpetrator that is not ours to carry. I got rid of that many years ago when I began my recovery process from my childhood trauma. I will say however that I seem to sabotage my growth and it seems like I’m being targeted by a family curse. I seem oppressed. Ty for your continuing work in these areas. I only feel peace when I get into the Word. I try to read my Bible everyday but don’t achieve this everyday like I should.

    This HAS to be the most underrated channel on youtube. I'm not a Christian but I absolutepy love your content. Especially around guilt. I think guilt and OCD is partly why I have stayed away from christianity and I can say is that if someone presented me the gospel like you did back in the day I would 100% have been a Christian. I feel that in todays it's like your either a hedonist or guilt wridden christian with little in between. The middle ground, as I see it, is all about being 'healthy'. Jesus wants us to be healthy so that we might glorify God and do him justice. Thank you for all of your amazing info and for presenting the gospel in the way that you do!

    I am a Christian and I am so, so grateful for this channel. I have really bad Moral Scrupulosity OCD and I keep thinking I accidentally promised God to stop engaging in (enter: this or that mundane, non-sinful essential activity - from writing/typing to entering the bathroom) because I cannot tell the difference between an intrusive thought, a pseudo-intentional thought, and a real prayer. I briefly lurked around Reddit but all the folks screaming that mental illness is "demonic" scared me off. It's channels like this one that remind me that faith and rationality are NOT exclusive, and Christians are called to "mourn with those who mourn", to quote St. Paul, not scream at each other's throats judging mentally ill people.

    4 and 12 went hard on me... Im always in the need to reveal my deep private life and what I'm going through. Now Im with the obsession of revealing my porn adiction (and dark details) to my parents even though Im 23 years old, I seem like I can't solve things myself and when I did the same in an ex-relationship or mine confessing fixed a little but it keep me in eternal condemnation and a cycle of confessing. I wasn't like this when I didn't have OCD so Im looking to starve the compulsions

    I’m asking this question here because it’s the most recent video, I’m still working through the old ones. My daughter is 20 (so grateful that she found these videos and presented them to me) -she is getting counseling for the guilt and OCD related kind of the scrupulosity. The therapist seems good but she did recommend medication or CBD oil. So I did some research and got my daughter some very good supplements that are natural from the health food store. Mark, have you done a video about medication, or just someone else know of a video he has done and can point me to that?
