This ministry is a life line. I've withdrawn myself from most of christian youtube, when I first came to Christ I enjoyed reading my bible and watching videos about God. A lot of videos consisted of sermons, apologetics, christians debating people with other world views and the occasional prophecy videos. While I had fun watching them, a lot of them didn't really help me grow in faith. It just made me either head smart about the bible or paranoid I was sinning.
I’m in the same boat brother. I even reached the point where I thought Christianity was not right for me, but thankfully I preserved my relationship with God and figured I just had to be more selective with all the teachings about faith.
Thank you! I’m glad someone said it this way. “ I’m firing my interpreter “. For us OCD people it can be easy to say I tried firing my interpreter and then it came back. It’s a continuous action daily.
Take the hand of the Father, recalibrate, God loves you - he’s for you, he’s working in your life, you’re right where you should be. I can’t serve perfectionism, hyper vigilance, dark thoughts, or anger or fear any more. Problems will arise, and God will help us through them. Fire the interpreter in your head and ask God‘s love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control into your life.
My name should be WHAT IF!! My what ifs have kept me frozen in fear for so many years. And always when stuff is going good the what ifs appear. I have bought so many books on amazon hoping for something to connect too and I came across this you tube channel and wow I feel like each video was meant for me.
I was broken and wounded from being cheated on in a relationship. My church was nowhere to be found and acted as if I was a burden with quick get over it answers. I prayed for wisdom through this, and found your channel. Mark, thank you from the bottom of my heart and teaching me that God does love me through all this and getting me back to my identity in His Son in the most compassionate way as I hated myself after this event.
I'm so glad I am mostly free from the ' what ifs '......I lived with them for so many years and you are spot on Mark with how they can cripple us into not making decisions. I am now living in the moment more consistently than I have since I can remember. It's definitely life enhancing casting all my cares onto Jesus.👌✝️🆓
I found the best way to remedy this problem is doing a lot of physical activities and interaction with people , so you have less time ruminating. It's very tiring thinking all the time. Just stop and don't think too much. We need a brake in our mind. And said to ourselves its enough, done. This is highly related to double mindedness
I cannot express my gratitude for finding this video. I have been in a vicious cycle of "what if" thinking for years. I desperately want a breakthrough because this is not who I am, it's who I became. This video has helped me tremendously. I am now learning to trust God and I am taking steps to emotional health. God bless you 🙏🏽
I’m starting to doubt my salvation a lot and sometimes when I try to have faith that I’m saved and forgiven I just have this fear r thought creeping in “what if your fooling yourself and your not actually saved “ I seriously don’t know what to do I just feel miserable
Hey friend, I am dealing with this too. It’s hard when everyone around you doesn’t seem to understand the struggle. I feel like giving up sometimes and wonder if God is this still there or if I sinned too badly for Him to even want me anymore.
You're not alone. I have similar thoughts too. Something that has helped is learning to make fear an enemy while being kind to myself. I often have thoughts like, "What if you're pretending and you're a narcissist and you're not preaching the gospel" and all kinds of fear based stuff. That's not from God. You're not alone! God's got us!
I dealt with that insecurity 7 years ago followed by blasphemous thoughts etc. I came to realize that when you doubt your salvation is when you don’t “Feel” saved. Salvation isn’t a feeling ““For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16 “God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God.” Ephesians 2:8 I could post many more scriptures that will support that as long as you believe and confess Jesus as your lord and savior you are indeed saved. The enemy plants those thoughts in our minds to strip us of our Faith continue to endure family God bless!!!!
Currently at this point. I was dabbling in the LOA throughout the year to have my ideal life to which it never worked yet I stayed believing it, during my prelims I told myself if I don't do well despite studying then I would leave LOA and 'vwalla' I didn't do well in those subjects. I slowly started rekindling my relationship with God before having received the results, a week before I believe. So I decided to leave it to God however writing my finals, I felt he was distant. I felt scared that God may use this opportunity to teach me a lesson. I haven't enjoyed my other exams despite studying for them. I started getting angry with him, losing my sense of reality, I'm at an odd point feeling there's no use for me to study. However I noticed that I went through so many stages during this process. What if: 1.) God abondened me and I won't get good grades. 2.) God doesn't love me,and Im crazy for thinking he will take me back. 3.) God is using me as an example for someone else to not follow. This left me double minded, hating God all over again and being rebellious, now I'm trying to get back again.
On point and on time word. So glad I came upon this ministry. May God continue to bless it!!! Thank you for your obedience, Brother Mark. Listening to this while fasting and this is just pure meat and delivered so beautifully. I cried a couple times. Thank you so much! I need to be more single minded!

Appreciate your comment! ☺️
Thanks for this, I've been through similar experience.

Yes. This ministry is helpful in a spiritual and practical way bc it's not about legalism but Love ❤

Me: but what if I DO need to go into the what if thinking?
What a classic. I need to stop thinking for once.
Hi! I can relate haha. Learning to be kind to myself and not beat myself up has been helpful.
I'm firing my bad interpreter every single morning. Thanks so much for your insight and authentic teaching. God bless you and your ministry.

This channel literally has it all. You don't need to listen to ten people when you could listen to Mark DeJesus
Um, YEAH!! 🙌

Let us celebrate this morning that my father and I read and discussed the rest of Matthew and the first 4 chapters of Corinthians 1!
Thank you so much for sharing, Mark! It is really helping!!! Thank you for helping.
This is accurate Mark, it's like if there's always a problem to every solution in this " what if's " and my root is the fear punishment of God
What if I'm right where I need to be? Huh. What a thought.
THIS IS SO SO GOOD AND HELPFUL !! Keeps getting better Everytime. What a blessing this you tube channel is ! Share share share everyone !
Thank you! ☺️

Wow so true...I've noticed that fear does use the pain of the past to get me stuck. So so so true.
Great message. I Will Not Fear was very helpful to me. Thank you.

can you make a video on how to be more present in the moment?
Yes Matt. Very good suggestion. Ty

Thanks Mark ! Your content is so so good.
This What If Thinking seems so automatic. It's like im not trying to think it. I hate it.
After I called 911 and was told to see the doctor from now on I took my dad to the word of Jesus christ for our health!

I had a good life and now I want to get it back. Taking back everything fear is drowning me.
Always so helpful & needful to hear.

Come to church dad and we can chill and Bible study after. That's something I'd tell Sam revolinski and Logan Casper I told you and they'd laugh!
Chris cramer taught me that religious liberties are sustainable as long as free speech is protected for any legitimate religion.
Thank You Mark .. yes “ what if “grows and grows. Thank you for this . God has NOT given us a Spirit of fear .
