Overcoming OCD and many battles of the mind can become incredibly powerful when we learn to break through the fear factor. A top reason why OCD can be so challenging is the disturbing anxiety that increases in the midst of a specific obsession.
In this video, I want to share how we can stop being afraid of our thoughts. But I also want to speak to your hearts and bring an exhortation to what is possible in your healing and freedom journey.

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.

A idea suddenly hit me! I’m paying more attention to my “bad thoughts” yet I’m not noticing all of the good thoughts I have all through the day. All the love I feel and have been able to give to family and friends, along with my students. I feel love all day long. I love people, and I can tell I’m making a difference. 🎉

Mark you're amazing.
It's the biggest hurdle in my faith because the enemy simply just drop thoughts in my head and id ruminate.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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 ❤️🙏♥️

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

Thank you, I've had ocd ever since I was a child. Started off with simple patterns and really grew into something terrible, I never realized how bad it could get

This video could help many people. Important to consider mental health issues from a biblical perspective for those who believe in God. There are not enough resources like this.

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 🎶✨

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.
