I was attacked by intrusive thoughts since January and I am still in recovery mode. Thank you so much for your ministry <3

You are God's gift. My OCD tendencies stemmed from my childhood and I found that they were fed by my perfectionistic and controlling tendencies to make things perfect. So now whenever these thoughts rise up, I say: I have nothing to prove and I let go of the performance. Please, let go and let God and always remember that you are not your thoughts, you are what you do. Recenter yourself in the present moment. Love and compassion to everybody who is dealing with this 💞

I've been having intrusive thoughts since I was young. But, they got worse after Covid and losing 3 close family members within two years. I've been attacked by exisential intrusive thoughts often, sometimes daily. And out of everyone, including counselors, church, etc, this has mad the MOST sense to me and has actually help build my relationship with God. Thank you.

It’s hard to not give things meaning, specially when you don’t know the future and what will happen and you so afraid that because of you praying something or thinking or saying, it can happen.
I talk with God all the time in my head and it feels like he’s going to answer those horrible things I think and it scares me of it happening.

Face the fear and learn to walk through the storm knowing God is with me! Thank you and God bless you Mark!

Instead of “God remove” say “God help me respond too” I like that idea.

I’ve tried to take it captive in doing so it came back twice as hard as it passes. Devil really is crafty. Thanks Mark happy new year! 🎆

Thanks Mark. Am a Christian for over 30 years and nobody taught me how to deal with my thoughts. Until I after so many years of cry and supplication God put You on My way. God bless You loads

[trishderonde]

Thank you Mark. The Lord sees and knows everything including our thoughts so we aren't hiding anything from Him. We need to fall into His grace, love and acceptance.

It’s a Journey. Practice. Practice. Practice.

Hi Mark. I, by the grace of God, I came across your website when googling why I was struggling with intrusive harmful thoughts again after almost 10 years of what I thought was healing. Back then my harmful thoughts were towards my husband. Now, I am a mother of 3 and my thoughts of harm turn to them. I cannot tell you how much of a blessing your healing journey book has been to my life as well as this channel. Watching this video, and you immediately talking about being in the kitchen and stabbing a loved one brought me to tears. It is those thoughts that completely derail me and leave me questioning all the good that I know it within me. Thank you for sharing what you’ve learned. Thank you, as your book states, for using the hell you’ve experienced to bless someone else. You are certainly doing that. I look forward to reading your other material, especially your book on loving myself and God.

I can probably find my first comment to you. I was listening to other decent therapists on YouTube that would temporarily help. Until I found this channel.
Just since my first comment, I have changed so much. I have so much hope. I thank the Lord he led me here. It's a literal miracle from the agony I was in not long ago.

Hey Mark!! As the wife of someone who is sometimes debilitated by OCD I want to thank you. My husband has been reading and watching your content for I’d say about 18 months. He has learned so much from you and has put a lot of it into practice. I have noticed a great change in him recently. It’s been awful at times but
he is certainly on a healing journey and so am I! 🙌🏻 It has been very important as his wife to learn about OCD and the struggle with it. I’ve been seeking help on how to be the most helpful in his walk through the OCD battles. Praise the Lord!!

[tsukareppi]

This is so incredibly helpful! I am overjoyed to have found your channel. At last, concrete help from a Christian perspective—thank you, thank you, thank you!

[yuan]

Thank you Mark. God really put you in the journey of my life and recovery. You’ve helped me feel so much better!!! I went from begging God to take this away to accepting this invitation to healing my broken heart and finding my true identity as a son of Christ. Thank you for showing me the light 🙌🏽

PS: did a great exposure today and resisted compulsions and I haven’t felt better. Feels like we’re getting there!

[lauralight]

Thank you Mark, you are an amazing blessing to my life!!!!

[RM-zrxz]

Thank God for you Mark you are literally God sent to help people with this horrible thing.❤❤❤

[Michael]

Mark Dejesus, Thank You! for Your vedios, not only for the invaluable information provided that can add information, comfort and Hope but also for Your excellent presentational skill...and when some humor is added appropriately in context it is very very much appreciated!

So may GOD BLESS you! and " everyone" on this channel as well as all of "Us" who suffer from this: incredibly deceptive, grossly manipulative, exceedingly sad and time wasting de-cease.
Thanks again! PTL!!!!

Thank you mark. This struggle started late October and I am still recovering. I found your channel to be God-given help last month.
