The ONE Scripture Saved My Mental Health 

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!

Thank you :)

The Lord just used you to speak to me. God bless you richly. God bless you

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.❤

Displace fear with the love of God. ❤

I’m dealing with anxiety depression thoughts please pray for me brothers and sisters 🙏🏻

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

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 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 🙏

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

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

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.

Woke up today with this scripture repeating in my head. So weird. Big hugs, very very grateful for your videos!

This is incredible! Thank you so much, I’ve been dealing exactly with this! Thank you ❤️❤️

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.

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. ❤️❤️😊

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. 🤍🤍

Awesome, awesome, awesome!! Thank you for sharing this

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.

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 💜

I pray God for Your Love and Peace in my life.

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!!!

That knot in your stomach is the enemy trying to tell you something, and it's ALWAYS a lie!

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 am in mental pain it's major anxiety and fear. Please pray for me. My name is Jennifer. 🙏🏻

I'll put this on frequent repeat until it fully sinks in! Thank you. 😊

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..

Is this really true??? I’ve always approached God with the sense that I don’t measure up, I’m not worthy of His love. I need to listen to this again.

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.

Amazing video Mark!! ❤️

I recently watched a video where they state scientists have found that the area that lights up in our brain when we appreciate something is the same area that lights up when we are anxious. They state that if we can be grateful, it helps curb anxiety.

Such a great truth and reminder!! THANK YOU! I’m 66 and just now getting this! So much of my “fruitful” Christian life has been relating to God in fear and void of joy. God bless you brother for climbing the climb and revealing the view.

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.

Thanks Mark. I've recently returned to Christ but have developed a religious spirit based on performance and a fear of punishment. I want to receive God's love today.

I’m so thankful for you and this ministry. Thank you for this timely message

Excellent - the was amazing thank you 🙏🏼 ❤

I'm speechless because I was doing and thinking the same. There's no fear in love. Thank you so much. God bless.❤🙏

One Lord…One Spirit…I received this same message a few months ago. Praise God for this anointed teaching. 🙏🏽❤️

Amen. Praise God the Father. Praise God the Son. Praise God the Spirit. Three in One. Amen.

Thank you, with all my heart. Thank you❤ I needed this so much, and God lead me to it ❤️ thank you, in the name of Jesus, amen. ❤️

Return to your first love. 😮

Thank you sir for reminding me of this even a lot of people go drink or do things they wouldn't do otherwise if they new to renew their mind with the promises of God and how he loves us makes people go back to their natural love of God .

Fantastic message thanks

Fantastic job explaining the meaning of this verse

spot on brother

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 🙏🏽🙏🏽👏🏾👏🏾

I need to frame this scripture to keep in our house. Thank you

Amen brother! Thank you for sharing this simple, incredible reminder.

Thank you so much for this message. 🙏

I've Suffered A Long Time/ Long Enough With "C"-P.T.S.D That Happen's Constantly Alway's When I'm Around Other Human's

Thank you for this video brother. Your teaching on this powerful scripture has helped me! 😃

Ive been a Christian for 2 years and I never to have any peace, leading me to depression and fatigue. God has revealed himself to me in so many ways and has given me His promises and great verses. I need to cling to these more and more. I am constantly attacked with fearful thoughts. I compare myself to other Christians that seem to be so strong and this makes me more afraid. It is encouraging to read here about Christians who are struggling like me. Praying for us all🙏🙏🙏

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

Excellent! Thanks brother. We are loved perfectly by our Abba Father!

I know this scripture. People often remind me of it. I still struggle with depression, anxiety, and fear.

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.

"He who began a good work in you, will be faithful to complete it." 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤ Thank you for teaching and encouraging us, dear Brother.

Thanks!

So good! Thank you 😊

Thank you so much for this wonderful message may God bless you.

Thank you

This is so good. I struggled with fear of God and hell that I’m now on medication to sooth me from the anxiety and torment. I need help receiving Gods Love. I need more on what that looks like.

Fear is torment! Realization God is sovereign. Accepting His will for my life brings peace

Like you did I get trapped in thinking “well, I’m still fearing” so I’m not made perfect (sanctified). What’s wrong with me ?

❤❤❤❤ Greetings brother Mark, right now, we should be focusing on, believing and proclaiming the gospel, 1st Corinthians 15 3:4. We must believe, how, Christ died for our sins, he was buried in he rose again the third day, amen. Maranatha❤❤🎉🎉 see you all in the clouds.

The book of 1 John is the book of our time. The promised strong delusion is penetrating the institutions we call churches but praise God, John gave us a powerful sword to defend against the lies. John gives us many tests for the intellect and if we’re honest with ourselves they move us into our forgotten conscience where we can trustingly give all our mess to Him, and thus become soft to the Holy Spirit and respond accordingly to our Lord Jesus Christ. Then we begin to truly love others instead of trying to hide how little we love. Subscribed!

I need to see myself the way God does

This is helping so much! It’s hard to accept that whatever we’ve done or not done, God sees us through Jesus. He loves me and nothing can take us out of his hand if we’ve accepted Jesus as our Savior and Lord❤

Mark, What an incredible blessing you and your ministry are to so many. I am so grateful for what you bring to us. Praise God.

This video came up in my recommendations and after finished watching this relaised its the answer to my prayer. I want to learn more about it, glad found this channel. God bless!

Salvation is not just saying Jesus I accept you. That is only the first step. I have realized it is a daily walk and constant discernment and a lifetime walk with God, in Yeshua's Holy name.

Thank you.... I'm glad I decided to watch your vid, still changing life until today ☺

That was 🔥 Mark. Thank you so much brother.

I was floxed and brain damaged. I've had chemical terrors and CPTSD from trauma, all while growing up. I still have anxiety and panic. I was floxed by a fluoroquinolone antibiotic a second time in 2022, and that's when I realized what had happened that first time. I cant wait another 15 years for my brain and nervous system to heal again. 😢 Im very upset by this, but I also trust God to do His perfect will in my life, I just wish I didn't have to start over and go through it again. I must have missed things the first time through. Yikes. I hope I get it right faster this time. I also face the punishment based relationship with God because of the highly abusive nature of the relationship with my parents. Very profound video. Thank you. I've NEVER truly felt loved in my life until I learned of Jesus and our Heavenly Father. Still, I feel that very harsh side that my earthly parents had with me and project that onto God too often. Im trying to stop because of people like you! Very good. Again, thank you!!!

Wow...Thank you so much for this content. I have traumas and triggers that are overwhelming sometimes. This is eye opening, it's going to equip me and give me a divine prescription !! 😃😃🙏🏽🙏🏽

This is so good! Thank you!

Hello Mark - our Lord brought me to your message today, whilst I am in the midst of my grief following my husband's passing. He loved us first, how special and amazing is that. Thank you Jesus for your Grace and Mercy.

Thank you so very much and God bless you. I just watched this today and I believe God lead me to this….thank you abt to mediate on this scripture aand watch again this video again. God Bless You….this was 2 year old video. That is why I think God lead me to this today. I have been very very consumed by the spirit of heaviness or depression or whatever this cloud that ties me down like quick sand to my bed. It’s not of God! How can it be. I am searching for help. Please pray for me and that our ABBA Father directs my footsteps. I know all the things you said in this video relate to me. Thank you and God Bless You again.

You forgot to say God showed his perfect love when he sent Jesus to die for us. "No one can come to the Father except through the son." John 14:6

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!

I’m crippled and tormented constantly with doubt and fear. I’m suffering with everything and can’t move forward. I feel like there is something wrong with me. Not just terrifying salvation doubts. There is a massive, debilitating barrier of not resting in Christ and worship to him. I can’t push through the thorns. I’ve heard I might need deliverance. This is a very real torture that isn’t all in the mind. It’s physical. It’s crushing. Spiritually, mentally, physically and emotionally. I hate life. I don’t want sympathy, I just need setting free 😔 I've not been able to sleep properly and have spent most of the last week in bed. I struggle to get out of bed as I'm exhausted and have a constant headache which is sucking the life out of me. It's too much. I can't breathe with the heaviness, the tightness of my chest. The depression and constant deep sadness is unbearable. I can feel it's demonic, I know it is. I've been involved with a lot of dark practices and this is more than oppression. It's demonised. I don't know if this is too much for you but if it is, I need someone who deals with this. It is a very real thing. Spiritual warfare, it's not something most churches deal with or even teach. There are many many real cases of this, people cry out and don't always get the help because many Christians don't believe it.

So so good! I have finally found someone that describes exactly what I’m going through. Thank you so much!

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?

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!!

I'm a disabled Christian in chronic pain and also have OCD and at the moment weaning down on opioid painkillers I take sertraline antidepressants for OCD but side effects make me act out my dreams that caused me to sleepwalk collapse and bash my head so hard I now has lost the function of most of the left side of my face

where the heck has this guy been all my life. great word. subscribed.

Hallelujah. God is so sweet. I was just praying yesterday about where does mental health intersect with spirituality and spiritual warfare. Just somehow came upon this channel today.

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.

I was sitting in my car when I started this video and the Holy Spirit poured out on me. I am so in love with God. Your words affirm what I have read from the scriptures. God bless you and your household. I pray a hedge of protection around you and your family. May God increase your annointing. May you be a voice of peace and love to many nations. ❤

Boy! Is like you are speaking about exactly what I went through and am working on.

What if you don't feel love? I have PTSD and my life has not been the same. Including my relationship with God.

Thank you so very much…this is an answer to struggles I have been in. God bless you most gloriously!😊

This is simply the most important truth I ever heard. Thank you Mark, thank God.

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.

How do you apply it? Thinking or recitingthat scripture over and over and over?

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❤

Mine is Philippians 4: 13. The word of God is God's love letter to us everyday.

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.

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
