I remember being a little girl and listening to Christian radio with my dad, and hearing John MacArthur say, "Abba does not mean 'daddy,'" and, "We are slaves in Christ." Those words pierced my heart. I don't want to incite a theological debate, but I am SO glad the Lord woke me up to the bondage of Calvinism that horribly distorted Gods's character. My dad had this same spirit and was horribly Narcissistic, abusive, and performance-based. I praise God for your videos. ❤
I agree I'm sure there's lots of good in what McArthur brings out but Theological perfection only gets us so far ! I have wounded myself and others in trying to drive holiness but lots of it has been in my own strength I need the balance of grace and love of God. Please forgive and help me Lord to be a lover of Father Son and Spirit not a self righteous fool
Brother, you get to the heart. I have experienced moments and seasons of true sonship and freedom. Your insight and experience are helping me learn how to remain and keep the chains off. I'm tired, this understanding is helpful for rest. God...Abba...Dad...Love.
I can totally relate to that 🙈 i really need the love of the father. Can someone help me how to make that practical? I have a slave mindset that hits me everyday and torments me. The feelings of not being enough for God and the people that are close to me are very strong. It’s very hard to accept myself and receive the love and approval from God and even other people that I love. How to make these things practical? I really need to renew my mind because I notice that there is so much rejection inside of me but I don’t know how to let those freeing words into my heart 🙈
I know I am seeing these months later so I pray that things are going well but just remember GOD has been down this path already everything is going to be ok. If GOD thought for a moment that this path would lead to hell he would have taken you off. He is a Way Maker and a Chain Breaker!
Do less first of all. Tell yourself that God is near despite what you are feeling. When people compliment you, say thank you and marinate on that compliment as if it was from Daddy God himself.
I understand with my mind what are you teaching, but I get blocked when I remember the teachings that we are also slaves to God. Are they contradictory? I hope your feedback. Thank you Mark
Sadly, a lot of pastors in the US don't understand that. Lots of sermons just try to make you guilty and inadequate. There is always an explanation why things are not happening. If you really analyze sermons, they are always telling that you are doing something wrong. Pastors say that you are not praying enough, not worshiping enough, not serving enough, not giving enough, not forgiving enough, not believing enough, and so on. It is all based on performance. I am really careful with the pastors I listen too. Many pastors trying to manipulate people with fear to control people. The other day I was having a wonderful day and decided to listen to a pastor I didn't know. The sermon made me miserable. That is what many pastors do. They try to make you feel miserable. Some are jealous if you are doing well and prospering. Many pastors try to put people in bondage.
Wow I took notes and I am so on the left side of the board. I believe that all my struggles and addictions have to do with the slave mentality and not knowing and. believing in my Heavenly Father. It is such a fight that there was warfare even in trying to get through the message. Thank you and please add me to your prayer list. I want your work to be a part of my victory into knowing once and for all that I too am a beloved son of the Father and He loves me without fail. Thank you and shalom!
highlighting this: 22:42 "give yourself room in your journey" let's not rush things my brothers and sisters in Christ. God's mercies are new every morning, He will help us get through this and live free!
If I were writing fiction, I could imagine a Divine voice saying, “They’re supposed to be Loving you, Nourishing you . . . and instead they’re Condemning you. They’re supposed to be the one House that is always Safe and can always be Trusted . . . and instead they Betray your Trust & Hope, becoming Adversaries & Enemies of your most vulnerable & Sacred place: Your Heart.” The story would go on to reveal how the Lesser Salvation is from the “slave to inner/personal choices (moving away-from the light)” [as we are as readily-forgiven, in Divine eyes, as a human parent forgives their five-year-old] . . . while the Greater Salvation is from ~that which~ keeps children of the Divine from truly Thriving & Shining, and these Structures are external: in-families, in-communities, in-schools, in-workplaces, in-churches, in-customs, etc., and even embedded ontologically in-languages. In this story, the Greater Salvation, and the true Joy at receiving such, is from Liberation-from distorted systems which one wasn’t even aware of as operative (and alive) in obfuscating, obstructing and opposing Thriving & Shining in any substantial measure, as the Divine *intended* for children who are to share the same Father as the Ascended Christ. In this story, the Great Crime is keeping children on the Cross (which the Roman created . . . for-death . . . and horror-instruction) literally crucified with Christ (over and over again with each & every generation), while the Living Christ Ascended appears to have been quietly placed in the shoebox labeled “angels, demons, nephilim & the supernatural.” When anthropologists return from a survey, looking for evidence of the Ascended Christ in populations, they have difficulty finding more than negligible differences between the religious and the secular . . . but were able to see, quite vividly, a remarkable number of children killing themselves, certainly an Inversion of Christ Ascended if there ever was one.
This is SO GOOD! Mark...you are so articulate. I thoroughly enjoy listening to your ministry. I only wish you were local to me as (Australia) so I could receive your counsel in person. I DESPERATELY want to be able to RECEIVE/ACCEPT the love/sonship of our heavenly Father completely. I have believed this has been my fundamental issue crippling my life. Theres a belief deep down that theres something wrong with me no matter what...I NEED the counter belief?!
Hello Mandy, feel free to write and I can share with you some feedback. I don't do any in person one on ones anymore. All my session work is virtual, so I can tell you more about that too. mark@markdejesus.com
Thank you for this video! You have no idea how many dots this video has connected for me… At least two years of questions and thoughts that I’ve had are addressed in this video. I think you for this video and I thank God for this video. Freedom is amazing. And what you have here will free people! Amen.
Dear Congregation of Christ, I humbly ask if you can unbind me and my brothers from spiritual slaveries and the generations I am in and break us from the evil covenants.
No longer a slave to the curse of the law, a spirit of religion or the chains of darkness the enemy tries to put on me. Everything is put under the feet of the Master.
This is the best video I’ve ever listened to. Absolutely monumental 👏🏻👏🏻 thank you. The power of the peace hidden in His principles. Thank you for always sharing them and making them known. An absolute blessing. 🙏🏻
Thank God I found this resources, because I believe that God the Father will set me free from the spirit of slavery/bondage that I through for years in my family. Please pray for me to start this journey of freedom with God and people that God will send to me from anywhere
Wow... I have ticked yes to every one of these things on the slave mindset list. I'm happy to know...not going to put myself under pressure so I can be "fixed" but will embark on this journey of healing to an acceptance of sonship. I heard the Holy Spirit tell me I'm behaving like an orphan, which puzzled me at first since I am so good at "doing." Having to constantly fend for yourself the idea of adoption is foreign because you never had anyone had your back, so you thin the solution is to become self sufficient
The interesting thing is regarding „1st Meet“ and „Communication“ I was really on the Sonship side (I am truly open & reasonable), but for most of the points I see a clear tendency towards spiritual Slavery (performance driven, feeling of unworthiness, unsettled heart etc.)
“Grace is the divine power and energy of God working in and through your heart so you learn to say yes to his thinking. He empowers you to live it out.”
I need to listen to this over and over and over again. I know he is spot on but I just don’t quite know how to get from point A to point B. Praying for God to set me free.
I agree a son/daughter knows they are family and have chores and house rules. Different from slaves, they obey because they are part of the family and want to contribute.
The Holy spirit cannot be bought. (Acts 8:20) But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money. Teaching people about having a relationship with God is great but knowing people desperately want to know God and making them buy your book to receive what Jesus Christ did for free is wrong.
23:58- but Mark, what if someone just needs someone to be with them but not to say anything? If someone is not reachable because they twist our words, isn't it because they grew up in a critical home, not because they don't want healing?
i feel like i’m in a transition right now, hearing God more clearly in my spirit and just feeling like i can connect to him in a deeper way.
Me too, sis. ❤️ good for you

It actually does mean daddy tho

Wow, thank you

Let me know how that's going? Could do with some help too

Dear Congregation of Christ,
I humbly ask if you can unbind me and my brothers from spiritual slaveries and the generations I am in and break us from the evil covenants.
Thank You Jesus for this revelation
This is so important, I really appreciate your heart work (pun intended). May our Father continue to bless your Ministry in the name of Jesus Christ.
No longer a slave to the curse of the law, a spirit of religion or the chains of darkness the enemy tries to put on me. Everything is put under the feet of the Master.
it's just really hard especially when Jesus asked us to be a light to others. i want to be a light so much, and i keep looking myself because of that.
This was so healing thank you so much for all you do
So thankful for your ministry. God bless you and your family. Praise God!
This is a great teaching _.thank you !
This is such a good teaching
100% AMEN !!!

@markdejesus, does this apply to the fallen Christian the backslider addict, prideful person.

talking about isn't helping
Amazing!!
Stop with the commercials
The goal is a full grown perfect man like Jesus.
I love this version

Thank you Jesus for grace to live with spiritual slaves.
So true, i am glad i came across this channel..thanks for sharing.
Thanks. Your teaching bless me greatly!
Not dad or daddy it's Father
Love it
Thank You!
