Freedom from a Victim Mindset

Discerning how a victim mindset works, how its gets into our thinking and how to walk free.

3 years later I am listening to this and WOW, I needed that. God spoke to me months ago that I am not a victim, but somehow I very easily slid back into that mindset because of lingering sickness. But I am not a victim, amen! Have to change my thought patterns, and take this very seriously. Thank you for this!

I'm not a Christian but came across your channel searching "victim mindset" and your videos are helping me so much. In modern therapy the concept of a victim complex has become a very taboo topic because it's often viewed as invalidation or victim blaming. Your compassionate but honest and blunt approach is a breath of fresh air.

I think I have so much of these video. U just said take time.. wish this stuff was quick but it's not

I'm blessed to have an increadible friend who was trying to "rescue" me for 14 months and has just given me a final warning to take this seriously and get out of the victim mentality, or I will lose him. I need to stop hurting and disrespecting him by not taking action and responsibility on my own and not snapping out of the sadness and powerlessness. It's a bitter feeling but I think my mindset has finally become visible to me and I'm grateful. If anyone here has stories of having overcome that mindset, I'd be very grateful if you could share them here. Thank you in advance and thank you for this video. It's taking me a long time to get through it but I'm doing my best to hear every word. Thank you

I am listening s a second time. When you said the victim mindset tries to set in, I began to wonder if this is another dimension of spiritual warfare. It seems like it is. I never saw the victim mentality as being from the devil, but I think it is.
Now, I know the solution is not to claim a scripture in an OCD fashion, but I do believe that Scriptures like II Corinthians 2:14, which speaks of God always leading us in triumph, is a good scripture, as is Isaiah 41:10 which commands us to fear not, and to not be dismayed. There are a number of scriptures that command and assure is to fear not, or to be courageous, and that God is with us, so I need to begin to meditate on these and let them renew my mind.

"Whether the rejection is real or perceived, your body feels it the same". Profound.

This is what I needed to hear today. The bit about the power pose I will try as I can relate to curling up in a ball or crying because I feel overwhelmed and MELTDOWN. I think 'I just can't do this'. I really was inspired by the verse John 4:4, I will put this on a sticky note on my wall.

finally! somebody who teaches on renewing the mind by actually teaching HOW to renew the mind, as in ways of thinking, the ruminating, the guilt and different mentalities and INCLUDING how to apply God's word and Christ in those situations within context. it seems it should all be common sense but the blindfolds are so real! wow. awesome content. good job Mark. I have a brother named Mark, so your like a brother from another mother in Christ 🤣

It took me days to set aside time and watch this video to completion, but I loved every minute and couldn't wait to listen to more. It was like seeing all of my insecurities and frustrations about myself unfold through someone else. So eye opening. I look forward to sharing these messages and learning new perspectives. It was greatly therapeutic. Thanks DeJesus Family! :).

What's the next step?
I love the personal examples! Thank you.

I can't show you how I'm Grateful to you ! ... I'm not even Christian but after watching your video that made me aware of this pattern, I knew this video contains the healing I'm seeking, and I can confirm that the person who watched this video isn't the same person before watching it. Thank you thank you Thank you

So good! I have learned that faith and hope go together and faith without hope causes disappointment. Hope always lives prophetically and lives in joy without seeing the breakthrough now. It’s always looking to where God is taking me, not where I’m at. Faith by itself says “it must be this way” and before it comes we’re miserable or if it never comes we crash. We are always called by God to live in the future by hope.

O WHAT A TEACHING THIS WAS!!!!
It helped me much!!! Thank you Jesus
Thank God for Mark’s gifting!!!

[evelynhughes]

Wow I see myself in a lot of these examples!

[ladydonna]

Listening for the 2nd or 3rd time to these Friday teaching series... not the easiest teachings to hear but that's probably because its one I need to hear the most... so thank you for doing these videos!!

[danielleo.]

This is so me. Couldn’t put it into words but you nailed it. I had sent you an email, but you pretty much had already answered it here! I choose to label myself differently from now on. It’s a practice. I’m healing. Slowly but surely. Thank you for helping us!

[prabus]

Mark you are doing a good and great ministry...
