      @keithandtricia I dislike All these people in the bible, could just talk to God like he was sitting down in a chair next them, or angles burning bushes, parting seas, other magical things, and I can barely even get someone to listen to me in my situation, much less God

    Here's what hit me: If I think I need to do everything right, then there's no room for God, Jesus, and His grace. "Apart from me you can do nothing." So sitting in my performance guilt means I'm not leaving room for God to work. Thanks for this word!

    When i tell you this is exactly what im currently going through the obssessive thoughts the thinking trying to work in salvation when Jesus tells us to rest and accept love where you at its been like since 2020 a long time God spoke this to me the last week after going to church on my own for the first time through the pastor about receiving forgiveness receiving love and God would and is showing me this with jacob how he lied constantly but that didn’t determine Gods blessings over his life and the Love of God, God still loved him the same.

    As I was listening to this I had a breakthrough.
    I've been frustrated the past week or so not feeling very connected to God, but I've seen it as an opportunity to trust regardless of how I feel at the time. (Edit: this includes experiences, too. FAITH in what GOD SAYS, not what our feelings or past experiences say).
    As you were talking, suddenly the parable of abiding in the vine blew open for me.
    Abiding in Jesus means trusting. Period.
    As I learned last week, not trusting IS disobedience. The obedience God desires (the work of the Father John 6:29) is to trust the one He sent. Trusting in Jesus and our acceptability because of what HE has done is being connected to the vine.
    Then we can grow in trust which is always being urged by NT writers (growing and being pruned for more growth). And as we grow in trust and in love for God and man we naturally bear more good fruit (good works).
    How freeing! I'm just going to focus now on trusting Jesus in all things and spending time with him trusting him to lead me into greater fellowship and service should he deem me ready. Relationship comes first!

    I think a lot of people struggle with these same issues...and the more I listen to your videos is that not only am I a very broken person but also many if not most people struggle....and many do not know how to love unconditionally...we humans evaluate ourselves and others thru the lens of conditional love...rather then unconditional love. Your teachings really resonate with me, I so want/need to know what it us like to really KNOW the love if God in the way Hes always intended me to. God bless you Mark, everything you've said I so relate to...we so need these words...

    Really good, Mark, thanks. 61 Years of performance orientation due to not being able to be what others wanted me to be. Chronic, severe migraines and CPTSD have been a real challenge all that time. I really don't think I could have made it at all without God's Word helping to renew my mind and my incredible wife God brought into my life 49 years ago. I will look into more of your teachings. Thanks, again.

    Wow. I’ve been praying to understand the Father’s love this week and every bit and word of this video I can relate to on a very deep level and this is 1000% what I needed to hear. Learning how to accept His love in the midst of the struggle, “…in my current state, apart of performance, achievement etc.” The Holy Spirit has pointed out to me to focus on His love and how I struggle with a disconnect with His love (don’t really know how to accept it at times, even as a believer). So this was a very spot on message. Thank you for sharing your testimony and experience in this area! 💯🙏🏾

    Been going through this season of God chiseling away on me and I felt that I had to perform perfectly before I'd get a breakthrough. Why couldn't I figure out how to be content? Or satisfied? Happy? I kept failing and failing, and I'd focus on the fail. I'd make my failures bigger than His grace. This message is exactly what I needed to hear. Self loathing is not the truth. The truth is, He loves me - every little detail of who I am. Stunning! Thank you for sharing your story!

    Some one needs to explain in a very practical way how to receive Gods love, because it really just does not compute in my mind. As a parent I show my children is so many practical ways I love them, I can not say I have ever seen or felt the practical love of God. And unfortunately for me to understand it, it needs to be practical and tangible. Not pie in the sky just believe.

    The yoke is light and burden rest for the weary, revelation is Gods to give. As a learning sinner i strugle with the truth i am not worthy of but that thought comes from my own conviction, Jesus Loves me as his own, maybe I don’t but he God… God is good! I appreciate the light amongst the darkness praise God. I feel that people must see Pauls journey. Look at what he became because of his change of heart. Its hard but worthy to talk of Jesus he is so smart! Lol silly to say but have you ever seen how he thinks of our struggles? Just a simple chuckle that says your off the mark boy, but keep trying!Never been worth in my visions to speak candidly with Him! But I witnessed his presence and I know I do need him very much for eternity! Think what do you struggle with, is it worth it? Of Course now! I need to be more like him and less like me! Praise God!

    sometimes we cannot embrace Gods's love because we think that we always are gonna be blessed and when we go to large season of struggle (any kind of struggles) we think that God doesnt love us. Instead of saying that even tho our problems (because he never says that every moment of our lives we are gonna be blessed) he is with us, and he is helpings us, because remember things can always get worse, but the bible says that god he will let us go through things that we cannot bear

Knowing the WORD and quoting it from your mouth when your under attack is powerful. Walking in complete forgiveness closes the door to the enemy. Pray and ask Him to show you if there are open doors to your life that the attacks are coming from. Its either 1. Reaping what we sow 2. Unforgivness and uncompressed sin that needs to happen. 3. Lack of KNOWING how to use spiritual weapons. The Sword in your mouth. The WORD OF GOD.

      The fact that you acknowledge your need for God is a very good sign, and the first step we all take on the road to salvation.
      I don’t know what you’re going through or facing, but know this. God loves you and all he wants is a relationship with you. And all you have to do is say yes to Him. Say yes to Jesus. If you have unbelief, tell Him and He’ll help you work it out. If you have addiction, ask for help and the courage to make a change. He’s faithful and good and always listens to everyone who calls on His name. Just talk to Him like you would a friend. He’s not angry with you at all. Remember that. He loves you. He’ll answer you.
      I’ll be praying for you. 🙏

    What if you did go on the other end of you need to act and do something when you don't want to? But really wanting God to work with the inner person first then to act outwardly...
    Sometimes it's like or being told you need to get it first like food take it and eat it then it fills you up your body digests it and then gives you energy. But then the choices of what to do with it? sit there or move? Save the energy or use it up your self or share it?
    Physical healing as seen body already has on the inside what it needs to heal but also the external medicine that may also help used to healing. And then there's Jesus by faith instantly healed and had love for people.
