“I rebuke you Satan in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. I bind any demon of _______ (lust, doubt, insecurity, fear, etc.)” This spiritual warfare is real.
It's a powerful state of being to control one's thoughts and behaviors. A task that requires discipline in every second of every day, but worth the challenge.
Yo wtf Elliot. Seriously for the past 3 videos you posted videos exactly on things I had just been thinking about like an hour ago. No lie, it's creeping me out lmao
@@saullopez602 I agree. The generations of men that came before didn’t have access to this much information readily. If we keep spreading these teachings and raising others up, we’re all gonna be cold.
I let those demons in and dictate my life with the bad thoughts. I've made some bad choices like any person. I'm 28 and I am still learning self control. Its getting better the more I practice. :) Have a good day everyone.
Elliot has a knack for posting things that are pertinent to my mind. He does this probably more than all the other guides I follow. This is exactly what I have been asking myself the last few days.
I dealt with this... The first month or two are the worst but once you let the thoughts be your brain realizes these thoughts arent dangerous and a threat...your brain than eventually stops thinking of it but it might take time... Search pure ocd
wow elliott ive been watching since '11. my physical peak was parallel with your youtube peak. like '13-`14. im back and i have lost everything. i searched u and this vid was 1st. LETS GO. you coined be the best version of yourself before any of these trend chasers. i need your help. dont stop youtubing bro please.
I swear I have a similar story. I need this in my life now more than ever. Elliott helped me start my journey to find my best self, and the last few years I've got off track. I hope I can get myself back on track.
Everything you've been posting has been aligning with my life at just the right moments. So coincidental but I'm not questioning it 🙏 it's not so much that I'm learning, but rather reaffirming. Thank you
Being conscious in prayer “Where recitation of the Quran is concerned, we can distinguish three types of people: (a) those who move their tongues unconsciously; (b) those who pay conscious attention to the movement of the tongue, understanding the meaning while listening as if to a person outside themselves; this is the degree of ‘those on the right’; (c) those who start from awareness of the meaning, then use the tongue to give expression to this inner consciousness. The tongue may act as interpreter for the inner feeling, or as its teacher. In the case of those nearest to God, the tongue is an interpreter…” Excerpt From Inner Dimensions of Islamic Worship Imam al-Ghazali
Use each bead to begin meditating. Once you catch your mind wandering, try again on the next bead. This will train your mind to get rid of thoughts so you can get finished. I use mala, the Buddhist form of the rosary.
I have dyspraxia and I have extremely disorganised and irrational thoughts. Meditation is the best way I have found to control and detach from negative and obsessive thoughts.
Awesome video brother. I started cracking up when you mentioned 3 beads and losing focus because I thought I was going crazy as I would do this all the time and sometimes still do while I should present Lol. I would lose being present majority of the day and night because my mind would not be still. Meditation breath work and other practices of relaxation has helped me as developing adult and still happily learning. 🙏🏽
There are many Orthodox saints who wrote extensively about dealing with bad thoughts. The ascetics of the Church always talk about the Jesus Prayer. It is very simple and anyone can do it. "Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, Have mercy on me, a sinner." That's it. That's the prayer. You simply repeat the prayer calmly, over and over, for as long as you want, always concentrating on the prayer. Do not beat yourself up if you find your mind wandering. It will definitely happen. Just keep going with it, over and over. "Lord Jesus Christ..." You can also say the shorter version, "Lord Jesus Christ, Have mercy on me." In Greek it is also simple, "Kyrie Iesus Christie Eleison." And watch as your thoughts disappear as you concentrate on the prayer. Traditionally, you would use a prayer rope with beads, so using a rosary for this is perfectly fine! In fact, the beaded prayer rope still used by Orthodox Christians is the ancestor of the rosary. God bless you all. ☦
Bro I got you I can cure you right now I’m your gardian angle look up vacate fear on RU-vid he has a channel about anxiety panic ocd whatever it’s all a result of a sensitized nervous system from all negative behaviors and fighting with thoughts I cured my anxiety and panic but not fully out of sensitized boat tho bro I hope this helps
I had strong aneixty and panic attacks in my early 20s. It inspired me to take up meditation. I found space in myself to observe the thoughts and feelings of the anxiety. One day I said to the anxiety, 'come as strong as you can come, even if you kill me, come more and more'. From this day I began to recover. Now in 30s the pretensity for aneixty is still there, but I feel much stronger than it and ready.
Nobody's thoughts are perfect. Everyone has negative thoughts. If you fight them by getting angry at them and giving them attention they will persist and you will lose because negative thoughts are uncontrollable in a sense. Don't feed them any energy. The fact that you can recognize these that's as very sick tells me you know that they're wrong and you know they're thoughts you don't want to have. Which also tells me these thoughts do not define who u r. If you are aware of these thought and how sick they are then you are aware that they are not the thoughts you want to be having. These thoughts are not who you are so don't let them define you.
Feed your mind good positive thoughts that you yourself welcome. Ignore the bad ones and accept them for what they are, just thoughts scattering through your mind. Not anything more than that.
What do you do when you're guilty after you lose control and give into your temptations? Because like you said, thinking about lustful thoughts is one thing but acting on it is something else and shows you lack self control. When you do act and make that decision, how do you remove that guilt that makes you beat yourself up?
You can never control your thoughts. You have the thinking brain, which always searches for random things and problems. And there is the observing mind, the mind that notices your thoughts. The real you is the observer, the consciousness. You can never be your thoughts, they are just random fluctuations of energies in your brain. Check out Eckhart Tolle! Great spirital teacher.
Reminds me of that greek legend of Medusa. Some woman the way they dress is like"look at me, hey you, LOOK AT ME!" But to look is not good for the soul of a man. Those ancient Greeks put real human dynamics into their stories. Maybe we dont turn right to stone. But it's still not good.
@@JfaJosephR9 Sorry, that's not true. 1) Saints are also angels, e.g., Saint Michael the Archangel. 2) And just as you can ask other people in your life to pray to God for you, in the same way you can pray to the Saints in Heaven, asking them to pray to God for you. Or do you believe that people cannot pray for other people at all?
@@gaseousgiant8053 correct. Pray for intercession of the saints... Bible alone Christians go BRRR with a lot of their beliefs. Great prayer, helps me a lot with intrusive thoughts. Prayer is how I start my day.
Don't judge it.Less you judge, opinion about it more power you have it.Focus your mind on Christ .Return back mind in reality,return back to prayer, meditation and Christ when in chaos, don't overthink, don't engage.Its a habit turning your mind away it practice. Anything disturbing to you.Returning your focus on which you need to focus on. Something I want create, attached,detach causing misery.If you go to battle you think of battle you win.
To be honest the whole concept of wanting to have no thoughts is just wrong. Also another tip is don't avoid pain. If it comes okay, but try not resisting it.
St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray. And do you, O Prince of the heavenly host, by the divine power, thrust into hell Satan and all evil spirits who prowl about the world, seeking the ruin of souls. Amen
and what is exactly wrong with that? Have you seen his content as of recently? Pure Gold! The WORLD needs him with all the bullshit going around. I have been following him for a decade but I don't just watch him for fitness. That's alright. I watch him for real life advice. Helped me a lot through life and I'm a Buddhist. I don't care if he talks about Church. That's just mean he found his path and purpose. I'm happy for him. Don't hate on what other people do just because you don't have a soul.
Man... The moment I leave my house...I am battling with negative thoughts From my awkward interactions The paranoia of people talking shit about me The looks people give me It's a fucking battle everyday Someone offer me some advice please This shit is fucking with me
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful. Say: I seek refuge with the Lord and Cherisher of Mankind, The King (or Ruler) of Mankind, The god (or judge) of Mankind,- From the mischief of the Whisperer (of Evil), who withdraws (after his whisper) (The same) who whispers into the hearts of Mankind,- Among Jinns and among men.
@Mystic Warrior He could be a leader with his words and advices instead of working with just individuals It’s time to upgrade make a change I can’t do it I have a small channel right now I’m new in RU-vid like you said
All if his advices and insights are problems of today and always will be. What's the point in talking about feminism and racism? They only bring negativity. There's is nothing to add.
Try praying more with meditation on the mysteries. It's the pocket bible! I learned so much about the life of Jesus by praying the rosary! I thought the rosary was boring but now I pray all 4 rosaries(joyful, sorrowful, glorious and luminous) every day.
Secondly, I use to think that. But the Hail Mary is scriptural. Hail Mary FULL of grace. (Room for no more) The Lord is with the . (Annunciation from angel gabriel) blessed art thou amongst women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus! (Visitation with Elizabeth) holy Mary (she is) mother of God( theotokos the God bearer- she is if you believe Jesus is divine) pray for us now and at the hour of our death
