    “God’s voice is not intrusive thoughts.” Thanks Mark for making this clear. I have been wrestling with certain repetitive thoughts recently that I wasn’t sure if it was his “voice “ or not. Now I know they are not !

    Thank you so much Mark and God bless you! I have continued to make myself smaller and smaller because of the mindset that if I enjoy something it must be an idol and God probably disapproves. I was raised in a very controlling spiritually damning home and I’ve lived 52 years neglecting myself in every aspect of my life until I found your channel. I have been to psychiatrists and mental hospitals. Struggled with addiction, codependency and abusive relationships. Full of exhaustion and hopelessness. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your ministry. I’m scared all the time but I have hope for the first time in my life that God IS ALREADY setting me free. God cares about little ole me and He takes care of me and loves me deeply perfectly. You have opened my eyes and heart to the God who’s never left me and has been showing me the way all along. I am strong in my weakness. Every morning I wake up to fear and dread, almost panicking. But then I breathe pause and put on one of your podcasts or audio book and it reaffirms that God hasn’t turned his back, He’s not disappointed and one step at a time He’s leading me out of the pit. What you preach is so very needed and I thank God for you and Melissa!!!! Please keep doing this and speaking in deprogrammed shame and guilt in the church.

    I have a long history of OCD and other mental health issues. I’be also had seizures for 46yrs with an abusive father that punished me for having seizures for 3 yrs until he realized I needed help. What you’re teaching here is “spot on” in my humble experienced opinion.
    I hear people say “God told me”…and I think to myself….there is “a god” who is not God at all who is more than happy to even fulfill the delusional thinking. The whole time “we” attribute this to the Our Father in Heaven the One True God found in Jesus Christ.
    I’m grateful to hear you speak the Truth in love. May Jesus be glorified..

    To guilt one's self for not being where you feel God wants you to be is not a good thing, but let"s face it we all know when we're doing it right. Anyone with an ounce of discernment knows when they are walking in the spirit. I hate when I'm not and sadly it's most of the time.

  • @NylahYasmeen

    I want to thank you, Mark. I got freedom when you started talking about the contrarian concept. When I had my first really bad ROCD spiral, I was desperate and started searching for videos on Gods voice. A video came up of a Christian woman who was engaged to a man she met while they were in Bible college and she said everything was perfect, his family loved her and vice versa and she was so excited etc. And maybe a week before her wedding she had a pain in her gut and she was confused but ignored it and then it came up again a few days later and she said it was God telling her not to marry him and and that she was confused and then she talked to her fiancé and she said that he said he was being told the same. This created a fear of marriage in me because why would God wait until the last minute to tell them not to get married? Surely, they would have been open to hearing God say no if that was the case from the very beginning. Why wait until a relationship grows, he buys an engagement ring and you’re setting up a wedding just to tell them no. I have been dreading relationships and my wedding day (even to the point of being afraid of being left alone the night before my wedding in case God tried to tell me to call it off in a dream or even doing the same to my fiancé) but what you said freed me. You have no idea how many years is been carrying the fear (I’m feeling the fear in my gut as we speak 😂)

    So asking God a yes/no question isn't ideal, because the instinctual thought is that God will say no. Also, arguing with a fear-based thought is ill-advisable, because reacting to it gives it power.
    Therefore, by using two negatives and through the power of reverse psychology, I will ask God if I'm worthless to achieve peak confidence in His love for me 👍

      It's terrible to live with a heightened conscience. When I was younger and until recently having a conscience that accused me of everything was tiring. I would often see others in Christ enjoy their freedom in Christ while I sat condemned about things everyone else enjoyed. I became so angry that I told God to please free me from a hyper sensitive conscience. It's not fun. Some people would consider it very spiritual, but in fact it was torment. I felt like I was constantly walking on egg shells before God. Everything, every thought, action, everything I would constantly be asking God forgiveness at every minute of my day. It wears you out and extremely frustrating. So many things to say...

      I haven't gotten out of it. I struggle right now. I live under constant anxiety over liking videogames of all things. It's my favorite hobby since I was a kid. In my 20s it became an addiction so I got rid of them. It was painful, but I sold them. However, about 2 years ago I began playing games again and I have many games. I've been married for 17 years and have 2 kids just so you know. The Scripture about the rich young ruler comes up often in my mind, because I don't want to be lost because of something I really like. It's frustrating because I have no plans of selling my stuff this time around, but the anxiety persists. My wife tells me that if it's not games then I'll find something else to be frustrated about. The doubt of my salvation is something I've always questioned since I was like 15 years old (I'm 45). I sometimes feel angry or upset that maybe God wants me to give something up that I enjoy. Even though I exercise self control about these things ot bothers me to think that God may cast me out or lose my faith because of this.

    This is so important! Knowing a little about the concrete logic of a Middle Eastern mindset, I think we lost something between the mindset the writers of the Bible had and our western/Greek mindset. We are too much in the ethereal. Thank you for reminding us to keep it real 😊 "the holy spirit is their to remind you of who you are in Christ" You were saved from sin, you are no longer a slave to sin, you are a new creation! This is so important! The devil is the Accuser in the Bible, the Holy Spirit is the Helper :) I recently read in the book "Learning To Pray" where a priest or someone was quoted describing our relationship with God like a father child relationship with an adult child than a minor child. In that way we have more freedom in what we do, we do not have to ask for permission for everything. We have been trained and instructed and our father trust us to know right from wrong but not every choice is a matter of right and wrong. Christ gave us FREEDOM. Who the Son sets free is free indeed! Indeed! ❤😊

His behaviour got so bad I had to call the police as I feared for my life. He says he is a Christian but he does not show fruit. I love God more than life, and I want to know what he wants me to do, but I feel so much warfare in my marriage. My husband hits me, lies to me, denies his abuse, and makes me feel so horrible about myself.. yet I keep forgiving and I keep pressing in that God will do a miracle. He is getting worse.

    Thank you Mark for yesterday's live session. However, I did not totally agree with you when you said that it's not God's voice when you are told to stop or leave something when you've gone too far. You used the example of registering a company.
    I believe God can stop your plans at any level to see your obedience. Otherwise he wouldn't let Abraham go all the way with Isaac's sacrifice before stopping him. God is God and we can't put him in a box and say and say what he can or can't do.
