I was in this cycle struggling against pornography, and that endured until I gave up struggling and start to humbling myself to do what the Holy Spirit was guiding me to do: to talk about it with my father. And when I came out with him and my mom, they gave me only grace, love and truth. Since that moment, I'm now free from the bondage of this sin, only by the love of God through my parents. I encourage everyone who is struggling with sin-cycle to stop struggling yourself and let God heal you with His love. He will guide us to this if we let Him. ♡ P.S. I also encourage you to buy a copy of the book The Heart Healing Journey, 'cause this is the instrument that God is using in my life to fix my eyes on Him and set me free with grace, love and truth.
Since I've been freed from legalism and bound and struggling..this is my main message to Christians and unbelievers..Praise God! We need more of this..🙏💆
We really do. I think this channel is soo underrated. So many Christians live in condemnation, and have no idea that they are doing it. I wish we spoke more about these things within Christianity.
I have been stuck in a pornography cycle for years and I felt as if this video was being addressed to me specifically. Every time id fall into this sin I'd tremble in fear of hell and guilt creeps in, then i go to my knees to fearfully and dreadfully ask for forgiveness to ease my conscience, only for me to repeat the same thing sometime later and the loop continues over n over again, I'll repeat this video again and again for I understand i dont know how to receive Mercy and compassion from the Lord, I want to walk in complete freedom from this sin, May God help me. Thank you Mark for this video, God bless you
Excuse me, if you and Mark don't mind I will share something I learned on my journey with Jesus. You struggle because you rely on our own strength. Bible says our flesh counts for nothing. It is the Spirit that gives life (Jhn.6:63). God gives victory through applying the two aspects of the Cross. First one is that we confess and agree that our flesh is useless and there is no power in us; that the only thing it deserves is to be crucified. Next we believe and claim that human flesh was nailed to the Cross. It was nailed in Jesus. And we were in Him. Romans 6:1-15. Consider yourself dead to your particular sin. It is done. Flesh has already been dealt with. Next, claim and believe that, as Jesus was resurrected, you are resurrected for a new life too by the Spirit of Life of Jesus Christ (Rom.8:1-2). Believe, accept, claim and praise Him for the victory that He has already accomplished for you. That is His grace in action. The power of the Holy Spirit which eases the temptation and doesn't let sin reign. That is His powerful and very practical act in us. I myself got precious victories that way. I wish you would too. P.S. Mark, I deeply believe people need to be educated on how grace is applied practically (experientially).
Closing all the doors that open way for this particular sin in your life is also a must--do. In your case it might mean deleting all accounts, leaving all social groups/connections that remind or allow access to sexual perversions, deleting all the unclean videos and images, replace old thought patterns with contemplating on what is good, pure and appropriate. And except personal prayers and active cooperation with the Holy Spirit, you might need to seek support from a mature and spiritual person or professional help (as it has been stated in the Disclaimer for the video) to help you on the way to your healing. These are God's grace and "working your salvation out" in practice.
@@MenwithPurpose2012 Approximately six years ago I came to the point of outright telling God that I give up trying to come free of my sins. No matter how much I prayed, pleaded and tried to break free all seemed hopeless. So instead,I decided to focus on deepening my relationship with God. That was a very bold move for me, as I was churched in a strict and legalistic setting for many years. I had to keep telling myself that I wasn’t deceiving myself or shirking responsibility. As I gave myself to relational living with God, that marked the starting point of coming into freedom from things that I struggled with for many years. That included pornography, alcohol, drugs, and tobacco. Whenever I would slip, I would simply confess it and keep moving on with God. Reading and meditating on the scriptures was key in all this, and the more I came to understand my identity as a born again child of God, how much I am dearly loved by God no matter what, and accepting that my sins, past present and future have already been paid for, those things opened the door to effortless growth into freedom. I now walk completely free of all those things. At times I still do struggle a bit in my thought life, but I don’t fight it. I simply confess it to God, lay at his feet, and trust him to be the one to work it out of me as I keep my focus on labouring to enter God‘s rest and exercise my freedom to keep staying close to him. I don’t put pressure on myself to change. Instead, I leave it to God to change me and accept the fact that change doesn’t happen by magic, but that it is a growth process. I am still immersed in legalistic ministries and church environment, but I am now glad to be here, to see it for what it is, and to be helping others see it and be encouraged to grow in their relationship with God in freedom from blame, shame, and condemnation in spite of any failures that may happen. Dealing with my sin is no longer my primary focus in my walk with God, and I am so glad to be on a completely different trajectory in my journey with him. I once heard someone say that if we aren’t experiencing the good news of Jesus Christ as glad tidings of great joy then we are being conned. I am happy to say that I totally agree with that!
Me too. I believed I had to carry my own cross, that this problem was my burden to bear... what a wrong belief. When the Son sets you free, you are free indeed !
I was born and raised in a Pentecostal church, and the condemnation came from the pulpit, as they always condemned "sin" and the "world" guaranteeing hell fire and punishment for sinning. It was a sin to: read comic books, magazines, go to the movies, go roller skating, bowling, dancing, and other "normal" activities. Hearing these dark horrors at a very young age was frightening and many times I'd have butter flies in my stomach going to church because I knew I did something wrong no matter how slight. That church is now closed as the older people have passed on, and they never changed the message of fear and guilt and people left the church to find a God of love and mercy as I did. They didn't realize the damage they were doing by constantly yelling and screaming about "sin" and making people feel condemned and it follows you for many years until God reveals Himself as a God of love and forgiveness and the weight of sin is lifted from you, all praise to His Wonderful Name.
So true a pastor once said to me, God maybe is not listening because of some treasured sin. OCD through the roof after that. But freedom is available! Thanks Mark
BEST preacher I have ever listened to. You let God speak through you, you understand him and know him. It feels too good to be true to have someone love me even though I deserve the worst. But that's how I know it's God, man could never do that for me and never has. For the first time in my life I'm not even worried about getting to Heaven, I'm just happy to be loved by Him. Thank you mark.
That’s grace and freedom, which comes through Christ.”For The law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. “ I’m slowly starting to walk in it myself
Misdiagnosis of "shoulds" keeps us stuck, this has been an eye opener to take a closer look at my connection(!) with God, do I have the humility to accept Gods grace every day, do I seek grace. To run the race because of grace. Gods kindness leads to mind change. Thanks for sharing this wonderful path to healing with us.
Wow this is the third video I have watched tonight. I just ordered two of Marks books as well! I have been living in this cycle for too many years and it was taught to me by religion. So sad that so many churches teach that you have to work for the Fathers love and that He is mad at you and doesn’t want to talk to you when you sin. Thanks to Mark for exposing the lies and really the heresy of religion and using his gifts to bring us into the relationship that I know the Father has for us. I’m not there yet but He is. I pray that all (including myself )who watch these videos would overcome and receive the Fathers love once and for all in Jesus Name! Also pray for Mark , His family and ministry. This is a battle and he is fighting for us! Shalom!
This video is a great reminder to me to not accept self condemnation when it starts to happen. It happens much less than it used to, but the odd time I still find myself falling into it. Someone once told me that it is much better to wallow in God’s mercy than wallow over my sin. I believe this video points in that direction and provides a great explanation of what many of us experience and how to break that cycle.
I've really been blessed by this message. So timely as well as this is what I've been facing. I will be sharing this as it can lead to so much freedom for others. Thank you
Hey, Mark! Another comment on practical meaning of grace. The Scriptures say the topic should go further. it's not only about connecting to the right place but also receiving something very practical i. e. help and strength to overcome ongoing sin so that it doesn't have power over you any more; you may still feel the temptation but something inside guards your heart and mind - this is His grace in action. His grace always bears fruit in us that way that some particular sin which God points to is now gone. To receive it that way is one of the most wonderful things in relationship with our God.
I'm bad at receiving , i never knew how to be loved by God.. This is an awesome video , Definitely have to watch this one repeatedly so that it can really settle in my conscious & hopefully i can apply this great information to my still growing & developing relationship with God & Jesus.. Great video! .. Thank you for this .. God bless
Mark, you are absolutely revolutionary. God has given me so much revelation through your minsitry, has pulled down strongholds, healed my soul and helped me have that same compassion you have with others. I had no clue I was under such condemnation until the Spirit led me to your minsitry. Bless you for who you are and what you do, and may God continue to increase your outreach.
Thank you Thank you Thank you! GOD bless you for sharing with us and having the heart to teach us what you have walked through, and gotten freed from. HALLELUJAH!!! GLORY TO GOD!!
Needed to hear this. There is a lot of things I have seen that I am doing wrong and I really to work on them. Thank you so much for sharing brother Mark. Grace, Love and Peace from Christ Jesus Our Lord And Savior. Stay Blessed 🙇🏿♂️
Thanks Mark, this was a really helpful reminder. We automatically think we need to go to our Bible and pray more, but you're spot on about that being driven by condemnation, which does nothing but feed the problem. I was tempted recently to do this when I was in a battle, and I felt the Holy Spirit speak to me ever so gently to not seek Him out of a place of fear, but out of love and receiving that from Him. This was a wonderful confirmation.
Well He died for you out of love, even though He already knew ALL the sins you would commit. And He did this before you were even born. That makes Him your personal Savior if you will let Him be that for you. He hates your sin because He knows how it destroys you and others, BUT He loves YOU anyway! Praise Jesus
Wow, it's been a long time since I heard a true God/Love inspired teaching and you sure hit the mark. Been struggling since my husband passed 10 yrs. ago. Thanks so much. Going to see if I can become a member; fixed income, you know.
TO BE FREE FROM CONDEMNATION, DESIST FROM SINNING. IT IS THE MAN THAT STOPPED SINNING THAT THE GRACIOUS MERCIFUL GOD YEHOVAH THE RIGHTEOUS JUDGE.FORGIVE HIS SIN AND ELIMINATE HIS CONDEMNATION A MAN WHO HAS NO FEAR OF SIN, ITS CONDEMNATION AND CURSE HAS A HARDENED UNCIRCUMCISED UNREMORSEFUL UNREPENTANT HEART WHO WILL NOT ENJOY THE COMMUNION OF THE HOLY GOD YEHOVAH.
I feel extremely overwhelmed by my sins of the flesh for enjoying sex with my boyfriend. I've been feeling that maybe I've been too disobedient for God to forgive me. But I also feel that the condemnation comes from the liar as a way to make me not want to seek out God's forgiveness. I'm sorry that I am so confused about this, but I'm sure I'm not the only one that has felt this way.
Well I know this was 8 months ago but I hope you stopped having sex with your boyfriend and broke up with him. Number two, repentance is a change of mind. Grace does not abound so that we may continue in sin. You know what you’re doing is wrong and you should run to Jesus quickly and repent, turn from sin. God knows the root of your distress and your cycle, He can deliver Him but you must desperately want to be delivered and set free. There’s is nothing the Holy Spirit cannot not set you free from!
It's never too late. You being forgiven is WHAT died for. He took the punishment & condemnation so you can take forgiveness & choose that Because Christ has forgiven you. You can go back on the right path without shame.
The most difficult for me is to overcome the insistent feeling of being unworthy of God's forgiveness after deliberate backslidding into porn so many times and so deep. How to be sure God still accepts me after choicing to sin thousands of times of repenting falsely but loving pervertion?
@@Adventurelens90 Thank you. In fact the worst of me even for me it's hard to accept. In particular, porn brings some very hard feelings. We feel ashamed regarding to God and regarding to people (even believers). We feel guilty. We feel undeserving the gospel, even life.
That is Satan telling you there's no way God would have you. Don't listen to him. Fill your mind with the Word of God. He will renew and transform your mind.
I sure did, constantly, and still do at the odd time. I was raised on guilt and condemnation as a means to improve my behavior. It took many years for me to accept that God doesn’t use the same means. I know better now, and I can quickly kick it out if I start to feel condemned.
Jesus's death on the cross is a lot worse than any of your battles. He suffered way worse than any of us have, because He suffered ALL sin of ALL humans that has ever been committed. And He felt the weight of it all at once.. Ironically, Jesus is the only one that ever lived that's worthy of that cross. And He never sinned, not once! So up on the cross He went, for you. Your own battles couldn't even put you up there. Instead it took a perfect sacrifice. Look, the perfect sacrificial lamb of God is way bigger than your battle. And He defeated it, out of love, on that cross, because He knew you couldn't. You arent capable. Only Christ is. Accept that by faith. Saturate your mind with the Word of God. He will renew and transform you. No battle is bigger than our God. Praise the King!
@@_derpderp Arminianism was the reaction to Calvinism in the 1500s. Arminians believe one can lose their salvation. For the truly Born Again person, how many sins would cause one to lose salvation, or make them walk away from the Lord? So, the person who has sat under Arminianism teaching may become fearful wondering if they may have sinned away their day of Grace. This can cause the person to feel condemned and hopeless. Does this make sense?
@@garyleuba3036 Indeed. I have been there sometimes going back and forth between the extremes. If I am ever unsure about salvation I am tempted to assume I never was. Because (maybe thinking carnally minded?) a sure person would never doubt? I accepted Jesus as my Lord and savior at a young age. I was immature but believe I understood. I knew tulip at a young age but then my flesh and Satan accuse and distort. I believe the gospel and want to bring forth fruit meet for repentance. But I still sinned after I believed at that young age. I have been prodigal and the first son in my thinking. I pray He holds me as my righteousness is as rags and my unrighteousness awards death. Lord have mercy on me a sinner. Salvation belongs to the Lord.
I was in this cycle struggling against pornography, and that endured until I gave up struggling and start to humbling myself to do what the Holy Spirit was guiding me to do: to talk about it with my father. And when I came out with him and my mom, they gave me only grace, love and truth. Since that moment, I'm now free from the bondage of this sin, only by the love of God through my parents.

@@marktdejesus Hi mark, have you ever covered 1 John 5:16 (the sin leading to death)
You're heavenly sent we've been bound to religion but when the sons sets you free you're free indeed.

but how can he love me when I sin over and over again 😞
Well He died for you out of love, even though He already knew ALL the sins you would commit. And He did this before you were even born. That makes Him your personal Savior if you will let Him be that for you. He hates your sin because He knows how it destroys you and others, BUT He loves YOU anyway! Praise Jesus

In particular, porn brings some very hard feelings. We feel ashamed regarding to God and regarding to people (even believers). We feel guilty. We feel undeserving the gospel, even life.
That is Satan telling you there's no way God would have you. Don't listen to him. Fill your mind with the Word of God. He will renew and transform your mind.
Can a true Christian struggle with condemnation like this?
Yep 👍
And we can get out of it too, through his loving grace, as Mark said in this video.
I sure did, constantly, and still do at the odd time. I was raised on guilt and condemnation as a means to improve my behavior. It took many years for me to accept that God doesn’t use the same means. I know better now, and I can quickly kick it out if I start to feel condemned.
my battles are a lot worse than what he listed.
Jesus's death on the cross is a lot worse than any of your battles. He suffered way worse than any of us have, because He suffered ALL sin of ALL humans that has ever been committed. And He felt the weight of it all at once.. Ironically, Jesus is the only one that ever lived that's worthy of that cross. And He never sinned, not once! So up on the cross He went, for you. Your own battles couldn't even put you up there. Instead it took a perfect sacrifice. Look, the perfect sacrificial lamb of God is way bigger than your battle. And He defeated it, out of love, on that cross, because He knew you couldn't. You arent capable. Only Christ is. Accept that by faith. Saturate your mind with the Word of God. He will renew and transform you. No battle is bigger than our God. Praise the King!
@@howard4405 well duh
Ain't you proud bro ?

How do I stop?
Are you DeJesus ???? 😭
How do I stop
I think this cycle, in a big way, stems from hyper Arminianism!
Could you elaborate?
@@_derpderp Arminianism was the reaction to Calvinism in the 1500s. Arminians believe one can lose their salvation. For the truly Born Again person, how many sins would cause one to lose salvation, or make them walk away from the Lord? So, the person who has sat under Arminianism teaching may become fearful wondering if they may have sinned away their day of Grace. This can cause the person to feel condemned and hopeless. Does this make sense?
@@garyleuba3036 Indeed. I have been there sometimes going back and forth between the extremes. If I am ever unsure about salvation I am tempted to assume I never was. Because (maybe thinking carnally minded?) a sure person would never doubt? I accepted Jesus as my Lord and savior at a young age. I was immature but believe I understood. I knew tulip at a young age but then my flesh and Satan accuse and distort. I believe the gospel and want to bring forth fruit meet for repentance. But I still sinned after I believed at that young age. I have been prodigal and the first son in my thinking. I pray He holds me as my righteousness is as rags and my unrighteousness awards death. Lord have mercy on me a sinner. Salvation belongs to the Lord.
@@_derpderp this old sermon by Spurgeon may help! I’ve listened to it several times.
