Can You Repent and Confess Too Much?

- I respond to a question sent into to me about repentance and confession. Her journey expresses the blessing of repentance, but she now wonders if she is focused too much on excessive repentance and confession for any possible sin issue that may be present. Do you find that repentance and confession are distorted subjects in your life? Are you wondering if you need a more grounded perspective when it comes to the role of repentance in your life?
I pray as I address this question, what I share adds great love, grace and empowerment to your journey.

I also say this to the woman: God requires nothing from you for salvation. Jesus took care of the justice and He is the one who strengthens your faith.
I can relate to all of this. I struggle. I am always reminded of Chunk's Confession. (The Goonies...) Pretty much that's me all the time. Boy, I realize I struggle with perfectionism (and I don't want to!) and OCD. Thanks Mark.
What you said about not handling it…
“He who began a good work in you…”
It’s now occurred to me that when you’re immediately fixed you’re not used to it, so you become fearful or think you know best. The best thing is to live it.
At 14:00 you spoke a word! We can’t be delivered from everything by at once….I think so many preachers preach change now or miss out on heaven and it literally debilitates people. When you think about it most people have more than one thing they’re praying for and more than likely we won’t heal from all of them at once..it’s insane to think that way but that’s what a lot of preachers have inflicted on believers!
It's kinda like the Israeli pilgrims in the desert... They couldn't just go in all at once.
Kids on the road seeking enlightenment outside of Christianity need to seek the lord and his love.
Majority of Christianity preaches a false, works gospel. Now I understand Matthew 7 better. Jesus saves, not Christianity.
He is a Christian and a pastor. Learn before you speak. Jesus never said follow Christianity..he said follow me!
I pray for this man and his family. God has used Mark to really enlighten me and truly help my own intimate walk with Christ day to day. I have grown more in just being intentional about receiving Gods love for me each day. May God continue to use you in showing us the freedom God has already made available to us by knowing the Truth.
Sometimes I want to get things right and sometimes I don't line up
Brother Mark you are so anointed . Your words are true and soothing . It is so comforting to listen to someone who has been through what we are all going through … thank you Father God and Thank you Mark
Thank you Marc, I love your perspective. I'm drawn to Christianity and the Bible and that you provide a pathway to it's main concepts.
“Repentance has its place.”
I admit when you say to take a break for 30 days from a repentance ritual sounds extreme to me! Seems like such a dare, like jumping out of a boat.
I am a new subscriber to your channel and listening from Antigua. Thank you so much for your ministry. Your teachings have helped me a lot since I started listening. I grew up without a father and a very narcissistic abusive mother with mental health issues. Nothing I did was ever good enough and so it lead me into a performance/perfectionistic based Christianity. However, with God's help I have been able to work through and find inner healing for so many of my childhood issues, but I still stuggle with perfectionism. I now know it is rooted in the fear of rejection, which paralyzed me for many years and still from time to time want to raise it's ugly head to suffocate me. Please for me to as I learn to receive God's unconditional love and find my identity in him. Thanks again!
You've been helping me understand about god a lot more than i thought i did. I'm back on my journey with christ and i'm so glad i found your page! Thank you for your great work. May god bless you
Thank you Mark , this is so helpful .
So so SO needed this! Learning so much right now and learning to rest more simply in what Jesus has already done for me. Takes the weight of the world off my shoulders. Praise Jesus! Thank you, Mark. I have been watching so many of you videos and the Lord is helping me so much through them.
Thank you for this..... NEEDED!!🙏

I lift up Francis Chan, cause i listened to his devastating testimony.
A dog chasing his tail...never works
Mark, would it be possible to do a video on your views of the “12 step” recovery approaches? If you’ve already done this, can you share the link? Thanks.
It will probably happen when I get to teaching on addictions.
Would love to watch this but the video won’t play! It says “No stream. Tap to retry” but nothing happens.
EXACTLY how much repent and confess is required ?
For what? Confession does not save us, Yahweh does. Repentance does not save us. We do those as a result of being saved, not to get him to save us. If we could get him to save us, that would be works salvation.
@@brokengirl8619 Yes, faith ALONE to be justified/saved :)
@@brokengirl8619 hey, with all your respect, I just wanted to say that the bible tells us that repentance clearly comes before faith, it is needed, Jesus said multiple times, “unless you repent, you will perish“, we need repentance for salvation
@@Alexlbz29 by accepting Christ you are repenting…the whole point of coming to Christ is accepting that you are no good and need him to cleanse u
Im a tree!
Are you teaching faith AND works to be saved (justified) ?
I’ve never heard Mark teach works salvation.
@@sherimowery3251 What does repent mean to you ?
@@robusc4940 To think differently
@@sherimowery3251 Yes, correct yet I still sin, you still sin, we know it's wrong yet we still sin, so we think differently but we still sin :(....So if Heaven entry is based on not sinning then no-one will enter Heaven
Heaven entry is not based upon not sinning, but on whether one has been redeemed and washed in Jesus’ blood. We have to change our mind about our sin to accept Jesus as the sacrifice for us. He took our punishment, so He could forgive anyone who accepts Him and give them eternal life. And then He keeps them for ever and grows them along the way to become more like Him. We can’t be perfect. He never said people wouldn’t sin after salvation. No one could ever be good enough. That why Jesus died. When God looks at believers, He see Jesus’ righteousness.
