S07 Ep09: Healing Obsessive Compulsive Battles

Obsessive compulsive disorder reveals more than just a psychiatric or mental health issue. There is a growing pattern where our culture is becoming increasingly obsessive and compulsive. The OCD battleground actually reveals where we need healing to our hearts. But it needs special attention and equipping.

Melissa and I both have a history with Obsessive Compulsive struggles. Through God’s grace and discovering revelation, we’ve been able to experience tremendous freedom. We’ve also had the privilege of helping many people experience freedom themselves.

OCD is way more than cleanliness and order issues, although they are certainly a part of the battle. Obsessive compulsive struggles can manifest in a variety of ways, including:
worry about harm, self-harm or harm to others
anxiety with a lot of obsessive focus . . .
unshakable thoughts that don't stop
intrusive, unwanted thoughts that initiate a lot of fear, anxiety, guilt, etc
obsessive thoughts over relationship interactions
religious obsession, including sin obsession, compulsive confession, constant internal religious arguments, intense black and white thinking, intense self-condemnation
relationship reassurance . . . doubt and insecurity over committed relationships

In this episode, we pray that our discussion can encourage you to experience greater healing and freedom in the love, nurture and grace of God.
