Learning to Receive Love from God
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 січ 2017
- I have spent the majority of my life equipping people and helping them to grow in their relationship with God and to pursue their purpose in life. Over the years, one of the most predominant struggles people carry is being able to experience and live in the power of God’s love on a day to day basis. If you dig deep with most people, even believers, there is a deep struggle to connect with Father God and experience that deep love.
So the question is, do you struggle to live in God’s love? I didn’t ask if you know how to love on someone, pray for someone or show God’s love to a person. Do you know how to experience God’s love in your own life?

Wow - beautiful. So glad I found your channel. Thank you.
This really blessed me. I appreciate what you do.
This is amazing! Thank you. I will meditate on what will my day look like as a child who is perfectly loved and accepted by my Father. Great stuff!🙌God loves me & I love myself. I receive the love God has for me and I rest in it.❤❤❤
It’s difficult to feel comfortable when our Dads were unstable and sometimes cruel.
Totally, I agree. That is why I spend a lot of time talking about allowing God to heal our references. Because the term "Father" often has so many earthly flaws, it can be hard to comprehend a heavenly Father's love.
Seriously outstanding. You said SO many important things that need to be talked about these days in the church - So many important things just for ME as Well!! Thank you sir.
I'm honored. Appreciate your feedback
Thank you for being extremely clear and thorough in breaking this down. This is a rare phenomenon, and I'm grateful God blessed you with a gift of articulation and clarity. Thank you because God knows I needed to hear this!
Awesome! I'm grateful that it was helpful
Honestly I can't thank you enough for these messages. I am feeling encouraged to commit to the process of healing and finally accepting myself.
I truly believe this is the hub of what’s wrong with Christendom. Loving ourselves because we believe in His Love would solve so many problems.
agreed
You are very articulate. I was surprised to hear what you had to say. Such passion.
Thanks so much!
Thank you for the wise insight and way of thinking, it really helps me realise the love of God when you said that to understand God's love is to follow the life of Jesus and what he did.
I grew up without such love from my earthly father, I only know hatred and abuse which made me spiral into a deep depression throughout my life never really understanding what it really means to feel love since my perspective of love is distorted, I blocked it out due to trauma and i didn't know how to receive it, but I always knew Jesus displayed perfect love and I crave to feel it, thanks to your wisdom I can practice opening myself up and let God's love in so i can heal, truly heal, not just that but I get to actually experience what a father's love is suppose to feel like. Thank you so much and God bless you and your family!
I love you Mark!!!! You are always on point!!! You are transforming my life!!! I’m becoming freeeeeee! ❤️
Happy Birthday 🎉 im glad to discover your lesson and guidance.😮
I got diagnosed with Lupus yesterday and I googled the spiritual causes of it (coz my Dr said my body is attacking itself) and I came across your blog! Thank the Lord!!! I believe He's gonna use your teachings to speed up my healing. Thank you in advance!
SO glad to hear it! May healing flow through your life in every way!
Any auto immune is self hatred
Amen
Amen

You’re awesome Mark! Thank you for being faithful to share the insight God has given and is giving you. Bless you and your family:)
Appreciate that Dwayne! Thanks so much!
HAPPY 40TH< You are a gift tool for us from God, I THINK GOD THREW ME AWAY from many things I did wrong,but just to hear the truths you tell, I am grateful
I've never(or rarely) seen it in this way, I'm very grateful that my father is always here for me and us as His children.
But idk why it's so hard to receive love freely, especially when someone compliments me? I'm like "what? no~ I'm ugly lol" "nah you're prettier than me" "ew" "wdym lol" "I'm a pig lel" like I try to be positive in my remarks, but inside I'm just like "what did I do? are they trying to pitty with me? are they trolling? was it a dare? how do you know I exist?" or something like that, like it's so easy for me to give love, since I want the person whom I am showing love to, to feel love especially if they need comfort(also since I'm such a mom in nature lol), but it's so hard to just accept love like I sometimes think "is there a catch?" "do you need something?" "why you being so nice?"
Like I feel like when I accept the love, that I have this mentality that I'm selfish for feeling loved, or that I don't deserve it or that I'm being selfish for thinking what I was thinking that lead me to that thought a few seconds ago-
But, hopefully, I pray, in this journey, I'll accept freely(and frankly to anyone who struggles too), that someone can love me unconditionally, that is my Abba Father, through Jesus Christ.
The problem with many Christians today is we are too busy trying to submit to God by submitting to the things love produces and not by submitting to love itself. We live from a constant state of “doing” in the name of love but we don’t realize that the things we do are actually supposed to be done in a response to Love. You cannot artificially create love. You can only receive it and be changed by it. Once you truly receive love the things you do as a result are truly obedient from the heart itself. We give things up and turn away things we see as wrong or unholy in the name of our Love for God but truly if we spent that same energy just believing we were already loved by God we would naturally give those same things up. Trying to give things up and be a certain way on our own power is no different than legalism and is what the pharisees would do. Don’t be a pharisee. Be a child who focuses his attention on believing the gospel and receiving love. That’s where the change is. That’s the easy yoke and light burden Jesus refers to. We must abide in Gods love for us and let God work thru us. If we live a life from our own power disconnected from the reality of Gods love for us we will always fail and our lives will become about “what we can do for God” and not about “what God can do and already did for us”. One lifestyle is at odds with the Gospel. And the other lifestyle sets us free.
Matthew 11:28-30
28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
Your post is the reason I love to read the comments. Very well said, thanks
Thank you for your post. So good. I had to copy and save it.
This is excellent! Thank you so much for your work Mark! Praying more will find your channel, it has been such a blessing to me 🌻 God Bless you and your family🙏
I have so much trauma and anxiety in my body I am in physical pain and terrible ocd and anxiety I want God to be my Daddy. Had a bad experience at church recently and felt accused of just wanting feeling
Thank you for the confirmation, the Lord recently said to me I you to learn to just be, being. ❤❤❤
Matthew 13:13-15 -- "This is why I speak to them in parables:
“Though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear or understand.
In them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah: ‘You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving. For this people’s heart has become calloused; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts and turn, and I would heal them."
Wonderful message! Thank you!
So glad it was helpful!
I'm so glad I found your channel. I think my problem is fear of rejection.
I know the feeling. I pray that my materials can help. Please consider my book Exposing the Rejection Mindset. I have a second edition out and it has some great insights and tools for breaking free.
@@marktdejesus yes they're helpful. I'll check out your books. Thank you.
I was recently diagnosed with Aspergers and because I have it I realize I have experienced rejection all of my life, it scares me to know that I will continue to experience this rejection because I feel it may have to do with feeling separate from God. I need to fell Gods love more than ever right now.
you have an amazing Radio Voice
Would love some more reference back to the Bible. Pretty Please.!
Agreed. His videos don't have many Scriptural references, so they sound like all the other New Age/motivational videos out there.
@@WheelEstate
I disagree.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
God will send me a godly husband for me and my life and dreams and faith hands his wisdom and grace of his glory by God's gifted. Lord bless me a good man for my dreams in 2021
Your videos are remarkably helpful and very well-made, but a bit too long for my attention span. I have to watch bits and pieces of them each day.
No worries at all. Take them in bite sized portions. Enjoy.
I have trouble experiencing or connect...
I don't know if I have experience love from a person since I left home at 17 I'm now 62 but I do love people
I haven't none God's love ❤
I am a Christian but just don't know that God loves me help
You began by acknowledging where you are at. God is with you as you are on your journey.
What’s the summary? Pray and posture to receive love.
i have connected to Gods love and i believe her wants his love to dwell and spring forth in my heart and into my mind. however i feel uncomfortable by his love at times. it has a way of exposing you and leaving you bear.i question How i live cause it shades so much light. i have had a lot of hurt in the past and i dont think i ever learnt how to continuously receive love. if i ever did experience love it was once in a while and not with deep affections like God shows. so it makes me a little uneasy if i may say. i find myself rejecting it for these reasons i mentioned because my mind can not comprehend it. if i was ever loved in the past it is cause i did something to be love for but how do you understand God's love. He just loves. maybe i dont have to understand it but just experience and dwell in it. but this is hard to do for me? please help me move past it.
is my experience even normal?
i guess i also find it hard to receive because there are some struggles in life i am facing now. it is not that i dont know God loves me but my situation questions that love and it makes it hard for me to receive or dwell in it. so sometimes it is just easier to reject it because i dont understand how i can feel loved while going through all this. i dont know if that makes sense.
@@judithifeadi3282 Your experience is very common among those who are willing to be honest. It is why I do what I do. I pray that some of my resources can be an encouragement and help to your journey. I would highly recommend two of my books, Exposing the Rejection Mindset is one: markdejesus.com/exposing-the-rejection-mindset/
God Loves Me and I Love Myself! would be the other: markdejesus.com/god-loves-loves-me-and-i-love-myself-book/
Your experience is very normal. It's conditional love vs unconditional love. Performance vs grace. God gives unconditional love meaning we don't do anything to earn it nor anything to lose it. To receive it, remind yourself that no human on Earth does anything to deserve His unconditional love. He doesn't choose to love us because of our actions. He loves us because He made us. Loved is in our core. We are His. He loved us so much that He didn't want to lose us when we were going astray so He willingly gave His Son to die and pay our penalty. This wasn't because of anything we did, again, we were sinning against God and going astray.
The Bible says: While we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. Why, one will hardly die for a righteous man-though perhaps for a good man one will dare even to die. But God shows his love for us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us.
Romans 5:6-8 RSV
Knowing that His love is one-way and has nothing to do with your performance is key. He's always loved you.
He gives grace to you in abundance and nothing you can do can make Him stop loving you, unlike many humans who are fickle in their love. God is reliable, constant, never changes. You just need to learn the things He really says about you and get that fixed into your identity so that you know you're A Loved Person and not someone whose actions are under scrutiny. The Bible says His mercies are new for you every morning! Receive and believe what He says about you and don't let anyone convince you otherwise. God bless
Living from christ in me cut off from the sinfull nature that came through adam
I didn't like the introduction it was too loud and too much
Your content was fine without all of that
I truly believe this is the hub of what’s wrong with Christendom. Loving ourselves because we believe in His Love would solve so many problems.
