My scripture that keeps me sane is:
2 Timothy 1:7
For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power & of love and of a sound mind. Being raised in a home with a mentally ill mother, I was always afraid. When I found this verse, probably as a pre-teen, I held onto it & have continued to grow with this verse thru the years. Praise God!
Displace fear with the love of God. ❤
The Lord just used you to speak to me. God bless you richly. God bless you
I’m dealing with anxiety depression thoughts please pray for me brothers and sisters 🙏🏻

I have no words how much this means to me!! I have thought about this so much lately. THERE IS NO FEAR IN LOVE. The most powerful sentence in the whole bible.❤
I know, right!
Thank you brother I needed that word so much. I know God's loves me but I struggle with lots of anxiety, fear and troublesome thoughts. I guess I should consider the depths of God's unconditional love for Him. God knows that I love and still suffer so much. Very helpful lesson. God bless 🙏
I really needed to hear this today. I knew this and used to carry this in my heart and let it get away from me slowly by hanging around people who don’t know God reject him or have him in their life. Need my bible and need my Jesus to remind me of God’s love and that I’m made perfect in his Son not by what I do but by what he has already done for me. Just need to receive you again Jesus and receive an increase of the Holy Spirit. He’s right there in front of us, we just need to push away the spiritual cob webs to the unseen.
Thank you so much! This very topic of ‘trying to love God’ has been on my heart all today and yesterday, weighing me down. I must rest and relax in HIS perfect love for me, and SLOWLY learn to receive it.
❤️❤️😊
Yes, amen!
I can't tell you how much this means to me. I am riddled with fear in all areas of my life. I'm a perfectionist with a rejection mindset. I live in almost constant anxiety and depression on some level. I feel like I am living in a horrible spiritual, emotional, and mental cage and it's taking away my will to live. Addictions have always been my escape. I read this verse, and I interpreted it as meaning "I need to have perfect love in my heart so that there's no more fear" or "I have to muster up all the love in my own heart myself in order to drive fear out". And my following thoughts were "I can't do this... There's no love in me. I can't generate it and drive fear out. I'm too weary, too worn out, too hurt, too skeptical". But now that I know the verse is about GOD'S love for me, I will work on this. I'm going to look into your other resources too. I just became a Father myself last week. And I, like God, loved my son before he was even born. I want to live in a place where I am safe and secure in God's love all the time. My sins and past life has made me reinforce these feelings like I'm a loser and I'll never do anything right. I try to think of things I can do to make myself better but I have no drove to do them because of fear. Fear of failure, fear of rejection. I reject myself because I don't see what's lovable about me. And I don't see meaning in anything. I get so sick of everything and I am never at peace. It's so hard. I'm sorry I'm letting so much out and I don't ever do this but your video made such an impact and I need to keep exploring this. I know I need to evangelize too and I need to spread the Gospel, but I can't even do that because it turns out I don't even understand God's love because I don't even live in it - I live in fear. I know God is real and I do love him, I just hate my sinful nature and I hate this sinful world. Thank you so, so much for this. I will learn and grow into God's love. You may have just turned my entire life around brother. Hallelujah, praise God 🙏
God Bless you 'smoking crab'....
Your authenticity is precious!
God Sees you, Hears you and Knows you~ HE pursues you relentlessly because He loves you!
Praise and Rejoice in that ♥
It's no mistake He wanted you hear this teaching to help you receive His Love---You are worthy, because of the Cross.
May the LOVE of Our Father flood your heart with His Peace as you trust in His Love for you always ~
Be Healed by His Love! In Jesus Mighty Powerful Name amen
Hi, I have the same life long struggles you described here. How are you doing now?
Hey Smoking Crab
How are you now Aug 2024?
You speak with such authenticity… you may even have spoken for others who are unable to voice their own thoughts ~ there is power and blessings in that. God already knows your fears AND about your sinful nature, AND YET ~ He directed you to hear this message so that you will know HE LOVES YOU. Sharing YOUR story together HIS WORD is indeed evangelization. Read, memorize, and repeat to yourself daily the message found in JEREMIAH 29:11
Your newborn child is relying on you… I lift you and your new family in prayer, in Jesus’ name, AMEN🙏🏽
I'll put this on frequent repeat until it fully sinks in! Thank you. 😊

Wow. Wow. Wow. I'm going through the healing journey and it's so tough. Thank you for sharing this, SO needed this Truth! Thank you, Lord, for your love!! Clinging to Him and learning that I'm safe in Him
I pray God for Your Love and Peace in my life.
I'm born again but have been suffering from severe panic attacks for year's. Since covid, it has been so so frequent. I take medication. I am so grateful for this eye opener! I'm tearing up! God bless you all
Anxiety meds make anxiety worse in the long haul. They do more damage than good. Perhaps see a holistic doctor to get to the root of it. Most importantly, ask God to bring you peace. Magnesium oil helps a lot. There are many natural ways.❤❤❤
Wow Thanks for this Mark. I was just having an anxiety spiral about nothing, so this was right on time. I always thought I’m just not doing enough praying etc or even comparing myself to other believers who seem to just have no fear. As I reflect I can see It’s really hard for me to receive Gods love, and even the love of those around me. I’m praying I learn to soon, because it’s a bit rough. Anywho sorry for the long message, I appreciate these videos ☺️ they are always very helpful.
This video on 1 John 4:18 was SO powerful and eye-opening for me too!! 💥
This was extremely helpful and just what I needed today. I was at church yesterday and felt the Lord speaking to me during worship and for the first time I really knew that I could trust him in my situation. Your expository teaching on this verse was excellent!! When you said, we know God has our back, that got me because I actually believe it now!! Thanks Mark 💜
Keep hanging on sister. And remember if you do fall Jesus will be right there to catch you.
@@tonypino5415 Thanks for the encouragement!! 💙
@@lindsaygraham9115 We're all battling. I've been through a lot and I'm sure you have too but the Lord is always faithful.
I have a deep wound that is caused by religion and performance based Christianity. Every time when it comes to following Christ it stirred up fear, worry, unworthynes and a lot of pressure. It was not something that brought me nearer to god and made me love him more, instead it caused me to run away from him…
I always thought that I had to give up my deepest needs and desires because that was the interpretation of taking up my cross and follow him. It was so toxic..
I can relate to what you're saying.
You’re not alone with the hiding part! I used to constantly run away when I faced issues… especially old ones.
We simply need to receive his love and grace and not be afraid of Him. Reverential fear of God is what I’m clarifying. Matthew 11:28-30, “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”
I hope this helps! 🤍🤍
same, due to some misunderstandings, how we're expected to fast n pray, in which I, many times because I kept hearing that if I don't, I'll die, and it caused a lot of distrust because of it.
HALLELUJAH AMEN. JESUS IS THE ANSWER TO EVERY CHALLENGE. TRUST HIM. TRUST HIM. TRUST HIM. THANK YOU JESUS FOR YOUR UNCONDITIONAL LOVE. YOU ARE PERFECT LOVE.
THANK YOU FOR THIS POWERFUL SHARE AND DEPTH OF THIS LIFE SAVING VERSE. GOD BLESS U.
Thanks so much for this video! Love casts our fear, this is so true!
I have issues with my emotions going up and down and when you mentioned about deep revelation of God’s love, it started to make sense! There’s no need for me to be so harsh on myself when I’m not feeling my best.
I went thru so much torment with my emotions that I got stressed many times which caused seborrheic dermatitis. The less stress I have, the less worse my dermatitis is. Perfectionism is such a trap from the devil! I need to constantly receiving God’s grace, mercy, love, etc!
Throughout my life, I practiced perfectionism and it was very toxic in my life. I’m slowly getting out of that rut, glory to God! God has been teaching me so much. You’ve been such a blessing in my life! Thanks so much for this wonderful teaching and yet beautiful reminder from this scripture. 🤍🤍
Agreed. Battling depression and anxiety last year and is wake up around 3 and not be able to sleep, being tormented. I didn’t have the strength for much fighting but one night I just repeated this scripture over and over and it worked! Was relieved and grateful for the power of God’s Word!!!
❤❤❤
Wow God is always on time! I needed to hear this. My thoughts are very self condemning. Could you touch on the verse Philippines 2:12 work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. It's verses like these that keep my thoughts condemning.
This is incredible! Thank you so much, I’ve been dealing exactly with this! Thank you ❤️❤️
Woke up today with this scripture repeating in my head.
So weird.
Big hugs, very very grateful for your videos!
I am renewing my mind, but not without medication, it is unfortunately that for some of us medication is part of our lives. I appreciated very much your teachings.
Fantastic job explaining the meaning of this verse
Hey mark. I'm about halfway through your book, I Will not fear. I'm still struggling with shutting down my compulsions but I'm trying to learn how to be settled in God's love and take my peace back. It's definitely a journey but I feel God working on me your work is helping me understand things more clearly. Thanks buddy, from North Carolina
I’m so thankful for you and this ministry. Thank you for this timely message
Amazing video Mark!! ❤️
Fantastic message thanks
spot on brother
One Lord…One Spirit…I received this same message a few months ago. Praise God for this anointed teaching. 🙏🏽❤️
So good! Thank you 😊
Thank you :)
I happened across this so thank you for this. Thinking about this and reading some of the comments it reminded ne that most of us are raised with reward and punishment by our parents or caregivers. As a grown adult I am still expecting this in real life and the reality is that while there are consequences for our actions, often the consequences are or seem to be random. I get disappointed when all my good efforts don't get the results I expected. I feel fear and anxiety if I have slipped up in some way. It's a very controlling way of seeing the world... It's also delusional in that we can't see the whole reality of our lives...so how can we control all outcomes in all cases? We are just telling ourselves stories in our own heads, usually when we cast ourselves as hero or victim. So we can tell ourselves a better story while trusting to Providence.
Thank you
This is so good. I struggled with exactly the same time and God led me through the same journey. I'm sharing all your messages Mark as you articulate it the way God meant to use you in this ministry. God continue to bless and use you mightily 🙏🏽🙏🏽👏🏾👏🏾
Seriously bless u for this video! Because I couldn’t understand much about perfect love and how to receive it . This was just what I needed to hear
so good
Amen brother! Thank you for sharing this simple, incredible reminder.
Thank you so much for this wonderful message may God bless you.
Someone needs to hear this Oh Lord! God almighty! I magnify your name! Yaweh I give you all the glory for my life! Forgive my sins and my un confessed sins Lord! Lord I want more of you and less of me! I thank you for your protection! I am truly blessed and highly favored I sit in heavenly places and I am the son of a mighty King!!! I love you Jesus! This is such a great song. I feel so much of the holyspirit in me. God has been so good and I have never had to hold my knowledge back as I always want to impact people and make them rich as I am. I have had lots of my fellow brother and sisters who reach out to me via email and I don’t heststate to help. If you are willing to do the lords work that is a good thing. I have some of my clients who own orphanage homes and charity organisation. I am so delight that there are good people in the world who want to use money for Gods work. Remain blessed everyone. No matter what you go through God loves you.
That was 🔥 Mark. Thank you so much brother.
This is so good! Thank you!
Thank you for this video brother. Your teaching on this powerful scripture has helped me! 😃
This is a breath of fresh air... I hate my mind sometimes. I want so desperately to understand Gods love for me and believe it
FELT THIS! You’re not alone with the mind being a battlefield. I suffered from distorted mindsets and it messed me up. Thanks be to God that he’s teaching me renewal of the mind day by day
Wow! I feel the same way; wanting to truly know God's love.❤❤❤
@@tina-mariecrocker5687 me too ,been going such torment mentally sometimes I don’t think I can hold on ,failure as a wife as mother as a friend as a Christian it’s overwhelming
@@colleenjohnson1508 Hi I just read your comment and my heart goes out to you because I have struggled with feeling the same way at times. Hold on - if you’re a believer, hold on to the Lord’s promises that He will never leave you or forsake you.
Read Isaiah 41:13 This scripture has comforted me this week and I pray you will allow it to give you hope, comfort, encouragement, and peace as well. Jesus really loves us.❤️🙏🏽
I know this scripture. People often remind me of it. I still struggle with depression, anxiety, and fear.
@@margrose5 Yes. You have not cut out toxic people from your life. That is my problem, too. Do you have a healthy lifestyle?
❤
Hi brother DeJesue. This scripture ie so helpful to me as well as other scriptures that have to do with my relationship with God cause of growing up in group homes and foster homes as a little boy having battled with a lot of insecurities growing up. Because i never had a father, i felt like i had to manufacture to feel loved and accepted and it was so hard and even to this day to receive God's love for me as His son and He fully receives me
✅ good video
What if you don't feel love? I have PTSD and my life has not been the same. Including my relationship with God.
2 Cor. 1:4
That’s good!
Hi. Mister. Mark can you try give time frame for how long it took, for you cme to where you are yoday, if you want to share, thank you??? Be blessed
It takes as long as it takes.
@@marktdejesus why did i know you would say that!!!!!
Great video
Hi, I really like your videos and find them very helpful. I admit I struggle with OCD, with the fear of punishment from God if I say, do or think something wrong. I want to get out of that fear and overcome the discomfort that appears any time I try to fight the fear. Do you have any videos on overcoming OCD discomfort?
2:30
God is not using this fear to speak to me.
When at the time of Hosea God brought a different kinds of calamities, farmine and locusts, did you not think that would brought fear to the people of Israel? Dont yoi think God himself also brings fear tochis own people.
Chronic fear 😢
@@kevinspano7315 meditating on God’s Word will completely transform your mind. His Word is truth, His Word is spirit and is life.
praying for your deliverance of fear and a strong will to determine that you will take hold of life indeed. May His peaceful presence fill you to overflowing.
Marc. My OCD still gives me occasional fears and rumination’s. Perhaps the rest of my life. I’m ok now….but life is so daily…..is my salvation assured?
When you ask Jesus to save you your salvation is secure. Listen to Casting Crowns, East to West… sums up perfectly xxx
I think we as humans have been blamed for ouir own suffering, maybe its true for a bit, but mostly its not our faulty, like Job. Peoople will not love God because they love him, its becauise they are afraid of him. They have fear. But I love Jesus Christ because he died for me. That God tough love produces feaar in people. Thats why perfomance based christianity dominates. I reaaly dont uinderstand what is Gods love. Maybe our suffering is our paying for that love
How do you know that God loves you? It says Jacob I loved, Esau I hated. Paul talks about Pharoah and how God created some for noble purposes and some for destruction. So how do you know He loves "you" and didn't reject you like he did Esau or Pharaoh? These aren't rhetorical questions or challenging questions. This is what I'm battling with myself.
Its Religious OCD. Thought subjects that are distorted and keep cycling through compulsions.
Remember..the Old Testament is Very different from new....because of Jesus. We can hide in Him now...all he's done For us. It's total. It's complete and finished. Look away from Self to look Only to him.
God has never Not loved anyone..in Old Covenant too. He IS Love. Can the Sun not shine....?! Esau can represent things God hates...Pride, the flesh etc..... Esau sold his birthright..... We have a new-birth right too...the free gift of Righteousness, nothing to do with earning or deserving, ! Zilch! It's not about US. (Gifts are Free!) Let's not despise or reject or question that gift and 'right' as a secure adopted child of God. Feeding on the many, many verses about this Righteousness in the NT has changed and helped me So much. I still use them regularly to reset my thoughts....and thus my emotions.
I think we are all 'vessels of destruction ' in many ways, for as Jesus cleaned out the temple and 'hated' what they were doing to his Father' s temple, so he 'hates' the stuff in us that hurts us, lies, steals and damages us and others. Any good parent feels the same. Yes he disciplines us! (Heb 12) ....with great patience and understanding. ✔But the core, central, fixed, unconditional, unchangeable, unmerited gift of his Love toward us is Permanent. It's the Rock to build all else on, to always run back to. Big difference between our 'Who' and our 'Do ' ...something we need to practice 'getting' and for others also.
God loves us not because of who We are but because of who He is. That's forever SAFE.
Keep searching and asking God your honest heart questions! The Holy Spirt inside us and via the Word is our Teacher. Ask him. Blessings.
I thought God want us to fear him?
@@freespiritpearl89
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. In this context it is awe, incredulous wonder and respect, recognizing His Greatness and Holiness.
(Holy means separate, unique as well as sacred)
Fear of God is not being afraid of Him unless you are not a believer.
Thanks!
Awesome, awesome, awesome!! Thank you for sharing this
Thank you so much for this. God bless you and anyone who reads this❤️His love is perfect, and through Him we can do all things!!
I am in mental pain it's major anxiety and fear. Please pray for me. My name is Jennifer. 🙏🏻
I’m praying 🙏 for you Jennifer.
@@oklartse How are you doing now?
@nrtnrt6676 a lot better than better. I still struggling with bad thoughts but Jesus helps me. Btw I saw him twice in a dream last night. He was floating on a cloud. Thanks for checking on me. 🫂
That knot in your stomach is the enemy trying to tell you something, and it's ALWAYS a lie!
This reminded me of someone speaking in a discord server channel, saying, “I’m tired of listening to the enemy and falling to the negativity.”
I’m starting to acknowledge the attacks! Tho sometimes I let the attacks from my broken past linger a bit too much… not as long unlike from before. Still needs some work but I’m learning in my journey with God. Like everyone else is.
We shall keep resisting the devil by NOT listening to his lies and letting the attacks linger for long!
@@Angiemiabeloved Speak truth to lies sister! When the enemy speaks negative take that though captive and speak a positive truth from scripture to it.
@@tonypino5415 Amen! Thanks for this reminder!
Amen
Amen. Praise God the Father. Praise God the Son. Praise God the Spirit. Three in One. Amen.
YES! And as you mentioned, and someone else commented, this verse goes along with it:
For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. 2 Timothy 1:7 God, who created us, wrote His Word to us, to show us all the answers to the problems of this life!!
What a NEEDED message in these days! The enemy is so busy keeping people in torment. I pray that everyone around this world will hear this message and that it will SINK IN and set them free.
So so good! I have finally found someone that describes exactly what I’m going through. Thank you so much!
I’m 60 years old and I’ve been saved for over 40 years (thank you Lord Jesus) but I’ve only recently begun to really view God as my Heavenly Father who loves me. I had a head knowledge of that but not a heart knowledge. This has made a huge impact upon my walk with Christ and my mental health!
Great teaching especially about God’s love
This is exactly what I needed to hear this morning. Thank you so much for sharing your heart and wisdom with us.
I'm speechless because I was doing and thinking the same. There's no fear in love. Thank you so much. God bless.❤🙏
It shouldnt be this hard. I am exhausted beyond words, and up to a few months ago, I was in my bible nightly and praying my tail off. I got tired of watching videos and hearing from my supposed Christian brothers that " I have done something wrong, or I am not praying HARD enough" I was getting no peace. I put my bible in the nightstand and stopped praying. I am fully aware of how I have fallen short, I just don't understand why someone is getting off on my torment and I have been left alone in this battle. The church turned its back on me and it has left me on my knees begging my Lord and Savior why?
I struggle with severe depression and moderate anxiety due to ongoing, unrelenting life stressors. Major life stressors. I am
FULL of fear. I am clearly trying to trust God for years yet am not able to. I certainly would not purposely choose fear.
Thank you so much for this. Really strengthening.
I recognized this for a long time and I pray over and over that I may KNOW the height and length and depth and breadth of the love of Christ that's passes all understand. But I get no relief!
You are so right! Experiencing this right now going thru emotional healing is what I'm understanding the power of the love of God❤
WHAT WAS YOUR CONDITION OR DIAGNOSIS...I.E. CLINICAL DEPRESSION
BI POLAR 2
ETC?????
WHAT MEDS AND FOR HOW LONG WE'RE YOU ON MEDS????
THANKS
Mine is Philippians 4: 13. The word of God is God's love letter to us everyday.
Isaiah 43: 4-6 helped me with my self worth that I battled for years and I dont feel any bad things for myself anymore
Jesus died for the sins of mankind. We need to learn to carry our crosses everyday regardless.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW! Game changer! I’m so thankful for this ❤
excellent content... Thank you
Genius and Perfect video!
I know that but I am always fearful
Return to your first love. 😮
I need to see myself the way God does
Same here❤
I need to know that love😢
Thank you so so so much.
That's me
I need this. I need to co-opperate
Me too
It made my mental health worst.
Thank you
