Right there with you. I can hardly believe I’m finally healing but thank the Lord

I'm convinced that spritual OCD/scrupulosity is caused by bad doctrine and false teachings, coming from wolves in the pulpit (Jesus and the apostles warned there would be wolves in sheep clothing come in to devour the flock, false brethren crept in unawares) My spiritual OCD has virtually vanished since getting clear on the Gospel, that I'm saved by faith ALONE in Jesus Christ and HIS finished work alone, and through no works of my own. The Gospel is the remedy for scrupulosity. But many, many different false gospels are out there, and they all keep us in bondage. Blessings, Mark. Thanks again for your ministry.

I agree. There's danger not just from taking away from the Gospel as many people have done, but also in adding to the Gospel. Whoever adds or takes away from the Gospel will be accursed. The True Gospel sets people free. Just keep your believing Loyalty in Jesus Christ, and you will have Freedom to Reclaim many things and to do many Wonders for God's Glory with the Holy Spirit in you.

@@ScotsThinker it's not even a matter of loyalty, really. Acts 16:30-31 shows us all we need to do is believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and we will be saved. It's only faith, and even if our loyalty were to waver, we are still eternally secure because Christ is the one that takes responsibility for our lives and will finish the good work He started in us, and no one can pluck us from His hand, including ourselves. Sure, our joy and satisfaction may suffer and our fellowship with God be undetectable, however we're still sealed unto the day of redemption, regardless of how lousy our life looks at any given time post-salvation. We can never be unsaved, we can never take the mark of the beast, we can never perish, we can never go to hell. All that is required of us is to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ - we must have faith in the blood, that His sacrifice was for us and was pleasing to God and satisfied His wrath and justice, and that God raised Him from the dead on the third day (1 Corinthians 15:1-4) Blessings.

Long live this ministry 💪

I pray this video goes viral and will try to share it with Christian therapists. 🕵️‍♂️🙏

I love that point you made about “well if I end up in hell, I’ll worship the Lord there”. I’ve been struggling a lot recently with existential anxiety, afraid I will end up in hell. It’s weird, this statement almost just reassured me that if my intention is to continue honoring and worshipping God, I have nothing to fear. Thankful for you and your ministry!

Mark, when I have to refocus, I always say 2 Timothy 1:7. Truly grateful that I am not alone in this fight

Mark, your ministry is a blessing. I have no doubt that, in His own timing, the Lord lead me to your channel. Your teaching has greatly impacted my life by equipping me with practical methods to live in Christ’s perfect love and grace.

I wanna be like you when I grow up!! 😩 Your teachings are LIFE saving!!! 💯

Thank you for your work and commitment to guiding us to healing Mark. I hope to one day in heaven say thank you for what you've done for me. My wife and I are so grateful for you.

Great video. Your channel has helped me this past year. I wish I would have found your channel much sooner.

Thank you Mark! I’ve been reading your book and that and your videos have been so encouraging to me! I’m so thankful the Lord is using your testimony to help others overcome OCD!

Thank you Mark! This ministry has helped me a lot especially when I was in very stressful moments of my life as I battled anxiety and OCD!

Thank you for all you do Mark. I would love to see you do another long format segment on deliverance and some of the pitfalls with it, eespecially in regards to scrupulosity and superstitions for OCDers. Maybe even addressing some of the topics like the enemy having legal rights over you- that one almost destroyed me. I found some benefit from some of the teachings from this worldview, but also found that ongoing deliverance actually pushed me into a different form of bondage and that the enemy got me both coming and going. We really need sound help and solid biblical teaching on this stuff because a lot of it can make you crazy and some of the scriptural interpretations I think are just bad eisegesis. The cure becomes just as toxic as the disease. But again, appreciate so much with what you do as your teachings have been some of the ones that have helped me the most in my own journey.

This SO good, Mark! The Church has been deceived into not being transparent and confessing their problems away. Nothing gets resolved, because the demonic root is still there through false evidence appearing real, (FEAR). Thanks for such amazing content. 👍

Hello Mark, God bless your heart. Jesus is truly using you. I’ve been suffering with ocd as a kid, and had an episode recently that drew me into a spiral where I was constantly arguing in my mind why I did these things. Jesus is working through you to reach and restore people. Are you a Christian based therapist by chance? This type of teaching is far more beneficial than the secular modern psychology approach.

This was EXCELLENT!

Thank you Mark! You have helped me so much!!

Wow this was so good! Thank you!

Excellent presentation!thx for posting!

Boom! Oh this is goooood Mark!

i just started rebuking the feeling of worry and thoughts in the name of jesus christ and stopped arguing with whatever the voice said and it went away. if u having the same problem then remember never argue with satan u cant win that and its best never to even try

Mark you’re right on! Thank you 😮

Wow! I’m so thankful I found this! I’m having post partum ocd like thoughts and it’s been crippling it came out of nowhere where two months ago 😢 I’m a Holy Spirit filled Christian and you are saying everything I’ve been doing. Can’t wait to read your book.

Jesus was warning us about a CONTINUAL rejection of the Holy Spirit. You are clearly not rejecting the Holy Spirit. Also, in case you start spinning on the Mark of the Beast, Romans 8 : 1 says there is not condemnation for those who are in Christ and Revelation 14 : 1 says there is condemnation for those who take the mark of the beast. So logically, those who take the mark of the beast are not in Christ, so the mark of the beast involves deliberately rejecting Believing Loyalty in Christ. The Devil is after your Believing Loyalty yet you must remain steadfast and learn to lean more on Holy Scripture and not your own understanding. The issue that both the unpardonable sin and the mark of the beast bring up is not about perfectionism, because the Gospel makes it clear that out best efforts are rags and we must depend on Christ for our Perfection. The issue these topics present is in Believing Loyalty. You have already accepted Christ. Be at rest with the Holy Spirit in you. In order to truly recover from mental torment, you need to get into genuine Relationships with the Holy Trinity and with people. Relationships will help you to be brave enough to open up about your worries and concerns and then invite love that will reveal characteristics necessary to overcome these problems. Holy Trinity bless you sleepyavii9307

There is a great Solution for the " unpardonable sin" But first you must what unpardonable sin is first. The unpardonable sin is really a choice did you know that ? GOD gave us all Free Will. Did you know Heaven and hell is a choice too Just like being saved is too. In acts chapter 16 says sirs what must I do to be Saved and the response was to believe on The Lord Jesus Christ and thou shall be Saved and thy house. Nothing more nothing less. When someone tells you to " repent of sins" That is a lie They are really saying to stop sinning to be saved so you can go to heaven But that's a demonic lie Only way to truly Repent is to know what it means first Repent means to change your mind from unbelief in Jesus Christ alone for Salvation to believing in Jesus Christ alone for Salvation. Period. Jesus Christ says that He's is the Way The Truth and The Life No one can go to The Father in Heaven except through Him / Jesus Christ. John 3 16 says For GOD so Loved the world that He gave His Only Begotten Son that whosoever BELIEVETH in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life. Which means when they believe they instantly receive life forever in Heaven written on The Book of Life .

Great video! My thoughts never come in as what if though. just terrible HOCD images and thoughts..

What helps me is recognizing that "I" am not (equal to) my thoughts. Random thoughts constantly arise and go like passing clouds in our minds. Don't latch onto them or feed them/obsess about them. Just acknowledge them and let go - I know, far easier said than done.

@radvibes Just remember your doubts are not your thoughts. Planted by the enemy to induce fear. And it's convincing that it's you. Regardless if its you or not....blood of Jesus covers it all. Fear and accusation by the enemy. Fear sets in and then he accuses you. No matter what goes thru your mind. This is key --> Establish God's love towards you as your strength. It will keep you still regardless how your inner turmoil may be in your heart, mind, and stomach. You will feel all the anxiety...but have that love assurance of God. That's the joy of the Lord working. Eventually, that love will make that ocd less and less powerful. Meditate on God's love, his goodness, Imagine him with arms around you. Ocd is like blinders to God's love. If you cannot feels God's love becaue of OCD. Talk to others in your church. ASK GOD TO SPEAK THRU THEM. God can work around your confusion by using others as his eyes, ears, and hands. They can be impressed by God to give you a word, a hug, or kind word. God will work thru people to get thru to you.

Regardless if your doubts are from you or the enemy. The grace of God will cover them all. Just commit to God that if those doubts come, anxieties come....that you don't have to know the answers. Rest in God's love. Regardless of your feelings or doubt. Rest in the joy of the Lord.(His assurance of salvation, his grace/love, goodness.) This is a process. A biblical process of trust even in the midst of the storm(what ifs, doubts, and questions). Just except those feelings come and go...but God will never leave you or forsake you. Commitment to the fathers heavenly love...despite your doubts. It will weaken over time. Have a daily praising of God and envision God's love surrounding you. Praise him in the midst of your doubts. It will work. GOD WILL MOVE IN THAT STATE YOUR IN. LET GOD FIGHT THAT BATTLE. OCD is a vision blocker. It skews are perception of God. Satan's #1 strategy is saying the what ifs. He used it on Eve. He made her question God's word on not eating the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil. God's word is your guide. Stay with a trusted group to help guide you through.çç

But, through watching your videos I believe he has OCD, the spiritual kind - Scrupulosity. I would like my son to watch your videos but when you mention intrusive thoughts like stabbing someone with a knife or killing yourself by driving off a cliff etc I'm worried you're putting further ideas into his mind which is already fragile with self harm and hating himself. Could you please do a video without detailing such excessive thoughts in detail?

I believe those few verses, 2 Corinthians 10:3-5, at the very least can/should be applied to OCD and intrusive thoughts, though they very well could be a direct reference to those issues in plain sight. They certainly fit. Our divine weapon of the Father’s Love has the ability to destroy strongholds. We tear down every argument and lofty opinion thrown at us that goes against the “knowledge of God” (knowledge of His grace, by taking those accusatory thoughts captive. Of course (this is important), to “take a thought captive” does not mean to wrestle with it, but rather to stop fearing it and to ignore it completely.

Please help me!!! I get confused with facing the fear vs testing God. It seems to me that for example, if I know I food MAY be dirty or bad I should just play it safe and not eat it otherwise if I know there may be a risk that would be testing God. I'm always praying to not get sick from it

I've been homeless before and I really, really feel for you. I may not be homeless now, but I'm still poor as dirt, and cannot afford therapy. Three months ago I thought I accidentally promised God that I'd (trigger warning) off myself, and I basically felt guilty for being alive which is just nuts. I know that God wants me to live, and an intrusive thought (no matter how pseudo-intentional) is not a true vow, but OCD doesn't know that. It's just so unfair that poverty makes it difficult for people like you and me to recover from OCD and other mental illness. May the Lord keep you and bring you to better tomorrows eventually.
