  • Welcome to my channel where I’ll be providing empowering techniques to help you overcome intrusive thoughts. In this video, I’ll bring you valuable insights and practical tips on how to effectively deal with intrusive thoughts through the word of God. Struggling with intrusive thoughts is oftentimes draining, overwhelming and burdensome, but you're not alone in this journey.
    My goal is to equip you with tools rooted in faith and backed by scripture that will help you regain control of your mind and find peace. Throughout this video, I will dive into various techniques and strategies to address intrusive thoughts. We'll explore how to combat negative thoughts and patterns the enemy uses to deceive and coerce us into misery. Together, we'll navigate the intricate connection between our spiritual well-being and the impact it has on our mental health. I firmly believe that faith provides a strong foundation for overcoming any challenge, not just the battle against intrusive thoughts.
    I will leverage the principles of God's Word to guide you towards a healthier mindset and a renewed sense of hope.
    To supplement our discussion, I will also highlight personal anecdotes and real-life experiences from individuals who have triumphed over intrusive thoughts by integrating Christian principles into their lives.
    Their stories will inspire and encourage you as you embark on your own journey towards mental freedom and stability.
    If you're ready to break free from the chains of intrusive thoughts and embrace a life of peace and positivity, then this video is for you. Join me as I navigate this important topic, offering insights that are both actionable and relevant to your spiritual growth. Remember, we have the strength to conquer intrusive thoughts but most effectively through the word of God

    The more times a person doesn't read from his bible or pray often, the further away from God you become and those intrusive thoughts get stronger. Fervent prayer AND regular fasting AND daily reading of the scriptures not only enriches our souls but keeps us close to God and quietens those intrusive thoughts sent by the dark principalities. Good video and teachings ty. All praise to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ AMEN❤😊

    I definitely struggle with intrusive thoughts. There have been times in my life when what I was thinking turned out to be true so what I would do is take matters into my own hands instead of turning it over to God to handle it. My way made the situation a million times worse. My thoughts became all consuming and darker and darker when dealing with them on my own. The negativity never stops if you don’t hand it over. You go from negative thoughts to negative actions. God’s thoughts and ways are definitely different than ours. We have to line ourselves up with him. You are a blessing and I pray that God will continue to use you and that He will bless you and protect you.

    This is so true, come in closer to God has helped me more than any therapy has. I am autistic and before I knew better I used to think it was a “punishment “ but now I know it is a gift from God because I feel like I know him in a very unique way, and I have a hunger for his word, and I love sharing more about him with the people around me ❤

    It is almost 1am in NYC. I am so grateful God sent this video to my feed while cleaning up and getting ready for bed and to serve / receive at Church tomorrow.
    Currently attending therapy to help me with complex trauma and intrusive thoughts have been a constant battle.
    Again so grateful that you are putting words to what I'm feeling and going through. God bless you! I look forward to going deeper to strike back the enemy resist so he can flee!🙌🏽 I will have the mind of Christ in me! Romans 12 2 Transformation is a process and I look forward to being lifted up Pslams 3 :3

    Only 5 min in and I already know this video is going to bless me. I've had OCD as long as I can remember, but I thought it only affected me in the area of wanting things to be clean and organized. Just learned it affects my thoughts. A therapist never even told me that. It makes so much sense and I wish I would have known this a long time ago. It is so exhausting to have obsessive and intrusive thoughts. Thank you for making this video.

    I know God made me click the youtube app as I have been struggling with intrusive thoughts and amazingly enough, your video is suggested ❤
    I'm a 21 year old and i struggle with my own thoughts and emotions as I've been a victim of bullying. This video made so much sense to me and gave me comfort and peace beyond my expectations. I shared this to one of my friends whose in the same headspace as me and basically just shared it to facebook, publicly. I know God will touch those hearts who are willing to seek Him truly and I know because I am one of those people.
    My worries on when and how to read the bible has been tackled up on here too haha so im glad that's settled.
    Overall, I just want to be better, truly. I want people to see God in me. I dont wanna push people but rather push myself towards learning more about God so that my actions and decisions would show/reflect that.
    I will do my best, with God's grace and guidance, to choose to live the righteous life and be happy.

    Thank you for your encouraging words and uplifting and joyful smile, Johnny. Glory to the father and the son and the Holy Spirit.
    From your orthodox Christian brother, I know the Jesus prayer is also a powerful tool to cast out intrusive thoughts from the enemy.
    "Lord Jesus Christ son of God, have mercy on me a sinner."
    If we say this prayer in our head repeatedly, after a few times we forget which intrusive thought we were even thinking through the grace of God, and the enemy is overpowered.
    Another great prayer is "Most Holy Theotokos, save us."
    This is calling on our most Holy and pure Virgin Mary to intercede to Our Lord on our behalf. Again used with the same affect as the Jesus prayer. This prayer holds such significant weight as the Virgin Mary was the vessel that gave God the ability to be born and live as human Jesus Christ amongst us. So he is forever indebted to her for this and she has a higher place then even the seraphim and cherubim angels in heaven. So any prayers asked by our precious holy mother to Jesus on our behalf hold tremendous power.
    Just like the story of the wedding in Cana, John chapter 2,
    "And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine.
    Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.
    His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.
    So as this verse shows, Jesus performed the miracle of turning water to wine because of the love he has for his mother. In the same way praying to our most Holy Theotokos to intercede for us holds much weight for Our lord to listen. So let's prayer this prayer as another tool to defeat our intrusive thoughts.
    Glory to God now and ever until the ages of ages, amen 🙏 May God continue to bless you Johnny and thank you for spreading the word of God and expanding the kingdom of heaven, Amen 🙏

I was recently baptized as a Christian that represented giving my life to Christ and being new just a few years ago. My childhood reminds me of yours so I feel deeply connected to you. There will always be people who come to judge and be over analytical it happens to me all the time. I really appreciate how you respond to things with the word of God. I want the best for you and am so happy you gave your life to Christ. ❤❤🎉🎉🎉
