Thank you so much for sharing this, so much of what you shared is what I've struggle with, especially the need to evangelize whenever I go out which caused to much guilt and fear to the point where I hate going out all together because I always fear what God may ask of me which braught about a lot of anxiety. But I've been trying to face my fears and do things I enjoy but it always brings about so much guilt and torment so it's been so hard to move past that. Your videos are so helpful and encourage me to keep moving forward into healing and freedom
I’ve learned that you seek God first to evangelize. By seeking Him with all your heart for wisdom as to whether or not you should tell so and so, He (the Spirit) will either permit you or very clearly tell you not to.
This is very helpful. A sober approach to the subject. Bringing together the "deliverance obsessed" side and the "deliverance doesn't exist" side. I realise more and more that personal character is key, and we should strive for the character of Jesus whether you're the deliverance minister or seeking healing. There's too much instant leadership in church, people promoted without exibiting character.
Brother there is a person I was once friends with is doing this exact thing you are referring too! Also he doesn't believe that God has the power to keep His SAINTS saved. I tried to correct him but he became hostile and brought many against me. It was heavy.
Mark thank you so much for being so helpful in my journey in healing. I have had only a traumatic life in family, church, and toxic relationships and trauma bonds. I thank God for using you for someone so weak like me. Despite feeling as dumb as a brick due to my parents upbringing me in a dangerous way, I already am feeling better about people and comfortable in myself which I never would’ve thought I could feel safe in. I’ve been abused by every father-male figure in my life and it is hard to trust anyone and pastors. You are very funny and you make it easy and easier to feel like I can have healthy connections within myself, with God, and with others and it feels so great to have this hope! Thank you again, and God bless:)
One of the biggest problems I have found is the church community really encourages this isolation idea of telling you that all you need is God all you need is Jesus anytime you reach out for anything at all it’s like they don’t even want you there. They just want you to silently go away and not have any relationships with them and just shut up and go pray and read your Bible. So even when you are actively trying to reach out to others and healthy ways and intentionally making sure that you’re not isolating others do it for you and force you into it.
"We look for life in places that do not satisfy." Wow. Yes. And the distinction between legalistic and Jesus-centered perspective with the clubbing example was so interesting. Asking why behind our actions and seeking an explanation is much harder than continuing to outwardly perform. But I think healing is in asking why and seeking to understand the answer. And maybe sanctification is closer to healing than it is to doing more things to be holy or set apart. Thank you, Mark.
39:28 This is one reason I've always felt monasteries and convents that shut themselves in /keep anyone not of "them" out are wrong and almost sacrilegious. It's all about them.
Mark, I enjoy your podcasts and believe them to be of tremendous help to a lot of modern-day issues faced by people in a stressful world. It is a blessing that you are devoted to the ministry of God and committed to helping others. Being interested in your background, I did look up your biography. I was interested in your educational and professional background, your degrees and professional training.
Thank you so much Mark. Honestly. I’m so deeply grateful to you for making these videos :) is there any way I can contact you with my story/question like this incase you’d see it useful to make a video on? :)
(Amp) Genesis 2:18 Now the Lord God said, It is not good (sufficient, satisfactory) that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper meet (suitable, adapted, complementary) for him.
Mike help, i would go hard with God for a long time. I pray but things only get more harder and i here as a 37yr old living with her parents n dependent on them. Am scared for my future n where ill be. I try to stay in faith but i get overwhlemed with fear and anxiety and i just shut down and my spiritual life goes down till am jus a filcker of light. Then i go back ti sin and i smooth my anxiety with worldy things like drinking and fornication and then i jus want to give up cause its jus to hard
@@winniecash1654 yes, very sad. I believe it’s a terrible crime and while I think Christians should pray for her family, they should also pray for the young man and his family. Remember that Moses and David and even some of the others (both good and bad) were once “on the run” in their own lives. God can still work miracles in this situation.
I think the husband should speak life into her instead of speaking fear to her as far as possibly joining a cult due to her “Me and Jesus alone” thought process. Just my personal opinion. Great overall message though!
Really? Could you explain? Not trying to be sarcastic either I intrigued to see what you’ve noticed. I mostly notice he speaks on healing, father wounds and understanding God’s love and I’m not complaining because I honestly need that. Have you seen anything that was contrary to the gospel?
Legalism?? NOT to be confused with OBEDIENCE AS A RESULT OF BEING SAVED" Let NO one SHAME you about obeying the Commandments. Religious OCD? That's a new one, what is THAT?
I hear that you heal not only for yourself but you heal for your family as well..

The “need” to evangelize… i feel you
I can relate. 🙁

@@marct.7600that's really good, but I just can't seem to get that discernment

God Bless you my brother in Christ 🙏🙏
This video was very helpful. Your ministry has been a big part of my healing journey. I appreciate you🙏🏼
Wow! Did you hit it right! I go through this all the time. I don’t know what freedom feels like. I want it but it feels foreign.

Wow, that was some really good insight on self-harm around 26:30.

I keep dwelling on the Brian and Gabby situation and it makes me sad
That poor, dear woman. Breaks my heart.

@@tango-bravo absolutely.
How can I write in on the website I cannot see as I applied for coaching
I apologize for my inquiry being presented in this "comment" format; I wasn't certain how other to communicate.
Personally I think God will give you a wilderness training experience that is very healing.
Yes.. an experience.. but a life time wilderness?? Something is wrong when for me it’s been since age 5 ish… I’m 69!
I think the husband should speak life into her instead of speaking fear to her as far as possibly joining a cult due to her “Me and Jesus alone” thought process. Just my personal opinion.
Great overall message though!
I sometimes think your preaching a false gospel - bc your comfortable now - … your message is all on love & universalim SMH

For me… performance based service, need to work for Gods and others love and acceptance.
