- Welcome to my channel where I’ll be providing empowering techniques to help you overcome intrusive thoughts. In this video, I’ll bring you valuable insights and practical tips on how to effectively deal with intrusive thoughts through the word of God. Struggling with intrusive thoughts is oftentimes draining, overwhelming and burdensome, but you're not alone in this journey.
My goal is to equip you with tools rooted in faith and backed by scripture that will help you regain control of your mind and find peace. Throughout this video, I will dive into various techniques and strategies to address intrusive thoughts. We'll explore how to combat negative thoughts and patterns the enemy uses to deceive and coerce us into misery. Together, we'll navigate the intricate connection between our spiritual well-being and the impact it has on our mental health. I firmly believe that faith provides a strong foundation for overcoming any challenge, not just the battle against intrusive thoughts.
I will leverage the principles of God's Word to guide you towards a healthier mindset and a renewed sense of hope.
To supplement our discussion, I will also highlight personal anecdotes and real-life experiences from individuals who have triumphed over intrusive thoughts by integrating Christian principles into their lives.
Their stories will inspire and encourage you as you embark on your own journey towards mental freedom and stability.
If you're ready to break free from the chains of intrusive thoughts and embrace a life of peace and positivity, then this video is for you.

Just wanted to thank Johnny for helping us who need to hear this. Johnny spoke words that I needed to seriously hear and bring me back to god when I had drifted so very far away.
Amen again don't follow the ways of this world.
God always capital G for the God of the bible please and thank you ❤️
@@Soy_Aleluya Amen ♥️
Hey brothers I’m 21 married and one son. I have troubles and really am in need of some brothers. I ask humbly to anyone who wants share testimonies and just talk.
@@RiverBank. I would talk to you but I'm a sister. I will pray for you today though
I love how Johnny never made it past 8th grade but yet look how articulate and intelligent this man is.
That’s the Holy Spirit speaking through him
The more times a person doesn't read from his bible or pray often, the further away from God you become and those intrusive thoughts get stronger. Fervent prayer AND regular fasting AND daily reading of the scriptures not only enriches our souls but keeps us close to God and quietens those intrusive thoughts sent by the dark principalities. Good video and teachings ty. All praise to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ AMEN❤😊
Absolutely 🙌
God bless you 🙏❤️
Amen!
I was a Muslim, lost faith in all religions etc fell into major sins, horrific ones and now I've found christ and I'm starting to believe that maybe there is a light and I can be forgiven for my sins and I can overcome and move on like you Johnny, I hope
Amen 🙌
Oh My God. Love You ❤❤. There is a truth don't give up. Very soon You Will find it. 😅 Read what Jesús told us. It is a path.
Your sins were already forgiven on the cross brother just never stop believing and repenting! god bless u g
DON'T rely on the "religion" itself but rely on your STRONG faith and your personal one on one relationship with God. No religion will guarantee 100% happiness because we all have a different path to walk in life (sincerely).
You can be forgiven my friend. All it's takes is simple faith in the risen Christ ❤
This is not a coincidence I just found you. I am 62 years old lived with anxiety all these time while I am a believer and served the LORD. This past week all these have been brought forward. I have been to the Emergency room multiple time to find out my heart was find. It has been the anxiety eatig me alive. I realized the ennemy has been playing with my mind and soul. I lived with depression for years. Sleepless nights. I cried to the LORDE a few weeks ago my deliverance began. Its not easy I am taken 1 day at a time. Thank You
It’s definitely a work in progress don’t worry you’ll get there!
God bless you.
Remember that anxiety is a sign to you that you are not fully trusting God to handle whatever it is you are anxious about. Lay it at his feet and trust him. Fear and anxiety do not come from God.
Thanks for sharing, I'm 46 & same anxiety this guy has helped me return to wanting to read the bible.
praise God
memorize scripture, and repeat it in your mind! that helps me a lot and brings me peace from the Lord Jesus! ❤
edit: also remember to be patient with yourself, focus on seeing things the way our loving Father, God sees them. and… Psalm 94:19 too hehe
Thank you for this. Idk how I will remember all the scriptures I need but I will try my best. Thanks again
@@Gigi_Giovanni The one i almost always remember is Isaiah 26:3 which says,
“You will keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on You because he trusts in You.”
meditating on scripture is awesome
@@JesusSavedSpencer I will mark this scripture so I can repeat it myself until I remember. Thank you so much for replying.
Philippians 4. To be at peace even suffering need.
Hebrews 4. Enter into Jesus rest.
@@rosemarietolentino3218 so good 😊
Hold every thought captive to the obedience of Christ” it says in the word. Thanks bro.
YES!! AMEN. I have to do this daily.
is this still maintenance? Not overcoming? @@Godslight1970s
🙏🏼✝️♥️
Custody of the mind and senses
2 Corinthians 10:4…
I've been saved 50 years . and never heard the good news broken down and explained as clearly as Jonny Chang has presented it . Brother in Christ Fred
Wow, you are such a precious person. A real newly-born Christian. Men like you are rare these days. I came to Christian faith at age 33, I am 37 now. God bless you. From Europe.
There are more than you might think. May god lead them to you!
33 special age
33 follows me bro. And it's in songs like suicideboys six lines two dragons and a Messiah.
Asap rocky - long live asap
its on his shoes bro watch that video
33 is also a number of esu a trickster spirit known for black and white and checkered board themes also hermes its a deep number and it plays a huge significance in creation and many religions. It may be associated with the devil tho
May God bless y’all
May God bless y’all prayers out for y’all. We pray in Jesus Christ’s Holy Name, Amen.
Struggling with intrusive thoughts for over a year. Hardest trial in my life, but still seeking God 🙏🏼
My prayers. Godbless
Your reward will come.
Me too! I have OCD and have had a horrible bought. I've been tested these past 5 months and I'm fighting my way through and trying my best to follow God.
You’re stronger than your intrusive thoughts. You got this! God Bless!
Did you get Covid ??
Your ability to recall scripture is a testament to the power of Holy Spirit! I pray Gods word is “ tattooed “ on my heart as it is clearly on yours. 🙌🏾✝️🔥
Been a Christian for over 30yrs I wish I had someone told me this. I made great mistakes.
Thank you! Just had my baby girl March 2024 and have recently been struggling with intrusive thoughts. I feel the Lord speaking to me through this video.
Amen and thank you Lord. I hear you loud and clear.
Had a pretty wild time growing up, bad company, into bad things. Never new how made it out the other side. But now as I've been learning about jesus and applying his way of life to mine I've realised he's been with me the whole time, and I've never felt so full filled. I realised I was so lost for so long. Thank you jesus
You have no idea just how much I needed this today. You described everything I’ve been experiencing. I got on CZcams today and told God please just send me a message that will get me out of this space and you were the only video that wasn’t praise and worship and I knew you had my word. Thank you for yielding to the calling of God over your life. He’s using you to do mighty things 🔥. May He continue to be glorified through you! ❤
Amen
Was just sitting in my room overwhelmed with my thoughts and felt hopeless something told me to come back to this video
Yo my wife on hospice at the end of herself, and I'm right there with her, with the word of God, last night she felt like she was getting mentally tired physically, and I prayed communion over her and we partook, and spoke against all those thoughts and feelings, then today I seen this video, God is on time and it's what she needed at the right time! Thank bro Chang for being obedient to share and teach.. ols don't stop amen!
God loves you and you're wife beyond you can comprehend! 💛✝
God bless you both!
Sweet. Jesus carries you.
🙏🏽
🙏🙏
I’ve been suffering with intrusive thought, I listened to your video and it helped me. I was laying in bed last night, the thought came and I said to myself, that makes me uncomfortable that’s not from God. It really helped me…. Thank you
I recently had to restart my sobriety after relapsing and I feel like I let God down but I am working to change that. I am not used to having relapse problems because I never used to care but now I do. I love God. I love this episode as well thank you for preaching. :)
About to start following you and more soon. Grew up as a child in church backslid 20+ yrs alcoholic/drug addicted/witchcraft/spiritual store-owner vs now 100% sober/publicly-church-rededicated-life/closed spiritual-store/praising Jesus Christ is King ❤🙌
This is great!
Proud of you God is good !
amen brother welcome back to the truth 🙏
Praise God!
Let's gooo!! I love hearing these testimony! Keep sharing your story and it can give hope to the hopeless
I watched your incredible testimony on Delafe Testimonies and am so happy to have found this CZcams channel. Thank you for the tips on helping with my own occasional dark thoughts. May God bless you and your ministry.
I praise God for helping me understand the evil thoughts weren’t mine, and I don’t have to come into agreement.
Every time evil thoughts come through my mind, I say, I rebuke you I don’t accept your ministry. You leave me now, in the name of Jesus.
I just found this specifically in a time in my life when I needed it the most praise God I'm in my Bible everyday, I was just released from prison and am battling allot during my transition back into society I've been struggling with intrusive thoughts and depression but remain doing the last thing God told me to do so I feel like God was giving me words to what I'm battling I'm so grateful to have stumbled upon this thank you Johnny and praise Jesus for leading us to revelation and truth
Saw you on Delafe and happy I found your channel. People need to be taught through calm teachings and not condescending sermons. Praise God for you
I struggle bruh , please pray for me , I am hungry to learn the WORD of God , to overcome these intrusive thoughts . I came across your testimony page and I was touched as we have the same things in common , I was crying and I know I’m not alone , but being alone and not reading the WORD I know it opens the door to Satan , please pray for me . Thanks . I wanna learn more from you bruh , in Jesus name .
I'll pray for u I pray the lord Jesus comes in an is your light. I pray for u to reach understanding and no longer struggle
Amen it’s good you know that, praise the Lord for the HOLY SPIRIT. Fill urself up with the Lord, push yourself, the Holy Spirit isn’t here to make us comfortable but MOVING. You WILL in Jesus name overcome the enemy daily, its a daily thing.. God bless you love
My prayers be with you. Godbless!
Praying for you right now. Stay strong on Christ, cling to him and never give up because he is faithful and will bring you through every trial stronger❤
Jesus is there. Always look at him.
I’ve been more aware of my intrusive thoughts. I’m seeking God’s truth & peace.
Praise God for you sis! Glad your'e here
I have been a minister over 10 years and you have really made me understand how to take control over my thought life and it has changed my way of thinking and processing intrusive thoughts with just this one teaching thank you God bless
Yes, Amen 🙏🏽
Amen..❤🎉🙏
Johnny, I heard your testimony this last Sabbath and I’ve been praising God for the way he showed himself so beautifully through that pastor. There’s hope for our children that have lost their way. May God continue to bless you, Jonny. Stay true to Him!
Amen 🙏🏽
I definitely struggle with intrusive thoughts. There have been times in my life when what I was thinking turned out to be true so what I would do is take matters into my own hands instead of turning it over to God to handle it. My way made the situation a million times worse. My thoughts became all consuming and darker and darker when dealing with them on my own. The negativity never stops if you don’t hand it over. You go from negative thoughts to negative actions. God’s thoughts and ways are definitely different than ours. We have to line ourselves up with him. You are a blessing and I pray that God will continue to use you and that He will bless you and protect you.
Amen 🙏🏽
" Being frustrated that your frustrated". ✨THIS!✨Thanks for taking the time discussing this topic. This is something I have a hard time dealing with, so it's nice hearing a refreshing word to help me not get lost in negative thoughts.
All of us do every now and then. Those who never do are not human.
I'm a Japanese, living in NYC. The other day, I was given Asian hate comments by a total stranger in the public space. Watching your video reminds me the pride of being Asian. I understand your points are not about being Asian but it's very powerful to see an Asian person is speaking out the truth of life so clearly with full confience. Maybe you are the first Asian rolemodel in the media for many Asians in US.
I’m so sorry that you went through that, may our father bless you
From Fl
This is the toughest battle of my life, but i have already overcome through Jesus Christ! Hallelujah! Thank you, Lord!
Thank you brother, you don't know how much this blessed me as a 43 year old man. Former successful (in the eyes of the world) rap artist/ Alcoholic, weedhead and destructive psychedelic drug abuser before coming to know Christ in 2016.
I salute you from Oslo, Norway.
God bless you, yours and your ministry 🙏🏼❄️
Yes please! I needed this. Ive struggled with PTSD and mental illness and am constantly trying to reject these thoughts that are not Christ like. I tend to isolate and go on bouts where I'm not showing up to service. I sometimes feel like a flickering flame. I love my church fam I just feel a million miles away sometimes. I know feelings are not fact and that my identity is in the Lord. Videos like this shine a light on the things that aren't often mentioned in church.
My brother in Christ, i'm only 21 minutes in and i'm already feeling so safe and secure with myself with your insight, no longer will we be tricked. We need more people like you. God bless you 🙏
God bless you & your ministry Johnny !!! Your message is plain and simple for everyone understand the blessing
& power of Jesus Christ ,
to receive freely !!
Amen, I overcame over a long period of time.. But I'm healed, Praise the LORD. Luke 4 unlocked it all for me
I always get intrusive thoughts.. especially in the middle of the night…. As soon as I realize I’m having them I say Jesus Christ over and over and I get peace. And once I pray they go away. God is Good Jesus Christ is Lord
Thank you so much, Johnny, for enlightening me and helping to make me understand God. I feel very blessed to be on the receiving end of your insight. Thank you and God Bless!!!
I feel like gods been knocking on my door this past year and since I been seeking him more my depression and anxiety and thoughts seemed to get a lot worse but my sister who is a Christian she told me when the devil knows your trying to turn away and turn to God instead the devil tries his hardest so you don't 🙏
Johnny, may God continue to give you wisdom, this is God's purpose for your life-to help others and share your knowledge!
I truly believe God uses certain people on this earth to spread a message and enlighten people about the truth. Johnny, it's unfathomable how much of an impact you are having on peoples lives by making this content...especially after all your struggles and everything you've been through during your time on this earth. You are something special.
It is almost 1am in NYC. I am so grateful God sent this video to my feed while cleaning up and getting ready for bed and to serve / receive at Church tomorrow.
Currently attending therapy to help me with complex trauma and intrusive thoughts have been a constant battle.
Again so grateful that you are putting words to what I'm feeling and going through. God bless you! I look forward to going deeper to strike back the enemy resist so he can flee!🙌🏽 I will have the mind of Christ in me! Romans 12 2 Transformation is a process and I look forward to being lifted up Pslams 3 :3
I'm khmer living in RVA. so crazy that Johnny story is very similar to millions . He is a vessel for God.
LET'S GET JOHNNY TO 1 MILLION SUBS!!!!
I am a Christian my whole life but I never felt about Jesus the way you described how he perfected us. That testimony completely changed the way I look at Jesus now. Thank you brother.
This live stream was REALLY GOOD. You articulated yourself very well at the same you kept your authenticity and let your true personality shine. It’s very REAL. I hear the way you speak, and it sounds like I’m talking to a friend. Someone who understands street talk because they had a rambunctious past life and they eventually gave their life to God and have been washed clean and made pure (psalm 51:7), and now can share their testimonies and wisdom they have learned from their past and from hearing Gods voice. I live this so I know when I see it in someone. God bless you- keep doing what you do, brother. 🙏🏽✝️✨
Amen!! Blessings 🙏🏼🙏🏼♥️
I couldn't say it better.. a real blessing.
Amen 🙏🏽
Just watched your testimony and started watching all of your videos and I love them! I thank God for allowing me to come across them. God bless you every second of every day! Thank you for all you do!
Thank you for opening my eyes and heart to God. Thank you for taking the time to explain intrusive thoughts via the Bible. Thank you and God Bless!!!
This is so true, come in closer to God has helped me more than any therapy has. I am autistic and before I knew better I used to think it was a “punishment “ but now I know it is a gift from God because I feel like I know him in a very unique way, and I have a hunger for his word, and I love sharing more about him with the people around me ❤
Amen! 🙏🏽
I thank Holy God he has gifted or anointed you
Thank you for your encouraging words and uplifting and joyful smile, Johnny. Glory to the father and the son and the Holy Spirit.
From your orthodox Christian brother, I know the Jesus prayer is also a powerful tool to cast out intrusive thoughts from the enemy.
"Lord Jesus Christ son of God, have mercy on me a sinner."
If we say this prayer in our head repeatedly, after a few times we forget which intrusive thought we were even thinking through the grace of God, and the enemy is overpowered.
Another great prayer is "Most Holy Theotokos, save us."
This is calling on our most Holy and pure Virgin Mary to intercede to Our Lord on our behalf. Again used with the same affect as the Jesus prayer. This prayer holds such significant weight as the Virgin Mary was the vessel that gave God the ability to be born and live as human Jesus Christ amongst us. So he is forever indebted to her for this and she has a higher place then even the seraphim and cherubim angels in heaven. So any prayers asked by our precious holy mother to Jesus on our behalf hold tremendous power.
Just like the story of the wedding in Cana, John chapter 2,
"And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine.
Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.
His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.
So as this verse shows, Jesus performed the miracle of turning water to wine because of the love he has for his mother. In the same way praying to our most Holy Theotokos to intercede for us holds much weight for Our lord to listen. So let's prayer this prayer as another tool to defeat our intrusive thoughts.
Glory to God now and ever until the ages of ages, amen 🙏 May God continue to bless you Johnny and thank you for spreading the word of God and expanding the kingdom of heaven, Amen 🙏
STUDY TO LEARN ! STUDY TO UNLEARN ! I LIKE THAT !
'How to overcome depression' would be a great topic for a video like this. Thank you for this content Johnny.
Thank you Johnny for all the time and effort you put into these lives.
God, thank you for letting me know this man of Yours.
These are true facts, this something I've struggled with for years. I thought meds were the answer, but its not. Once the meds wear off, the thoughts can get even worst. The only way is to strengthen our faith . Amen 🙏🏼✝
Amen I needed this this morning
H Johnny, I’m from UK and for the longest time I understand that I am not my thoughts however, my constant struggle is to distinguish what is real and what isn’t ... I have been asking lord to show me he listens and while I was struggling to find a video to watch, for some reason I found you ... I know you from the interview you did with the ex-mafia and your interview brought me to tears several times. I’m not baptized, I’m not a Christian yet but for some strange reason I need to find out more ..
Mr. Chang... i have been goin through this my whole life... im only 20... i feel like ive been lied to my whole life, these last few days im actually learning who i even am. God is so Good. and im so happy he opened my eyes.
Johnny is right in his way. I'm right in my way. Peace ✌️😊
I'm so glad I discovered your content Johnny! You made me realize the gift of salvation and focus on living a life full of inner peace, I want to be like you and your mom.
Bro you are a beacon of hope to people like me I’m so grateful🙏🏽
So simple yet so deep! I really needed this! Praise God!
Thank you so much! The way you explain things makes me understand. I appreciate what you’re doing! God Bless you.
Hi johnny.i turn on my phone to listen to another brother who is from Ukraine. He is awesome. That day you came on and now listen to you.i can see the truth in you.your truly an example for those who have been in prison like will continue to listen to you.right now I'm listening to your sermon on intuitive thoughts .Amen
Vlad?
Amen amen and amen glory to God!
Yes! I needed this encouragement and knowing I'm not by myself.
Love you. Thank you for your advice 🙏❤️❤️ May God bless you always!
Only 5 min in and I already know this video is going to bless me. I've had OCD as long as I can remember, but I thought it only affected me in the area of wanting things to be clean and organized. Just learned it affects my thoughts. A therapist never even told me that. It makes so much sense and I wish I would have known this a long time ago. It is so exhausting to have obsessive and intrusive thoughts. Thank you for making this video.
There is power in Jesus name... We can't do it ourselves.. Life is so weird..to balance..you know.. God loves us.. I don't know why God loves us.. But this is it.. God bless! Thank you
Jesus Is The Way [The Door],The Truth, and The Life.
Amen! Thank you for sharing this wisdom.
Spot on Bro. I go thru it at times. I guess Im not alone. Remain in Him✝️
God bless you Johnny 🙏✝️❤️💪💪🫵😀❤️👍! I need this lesson today 💯🙂
I love when you say “understand?!” It cracks me up 😂
Thank you GOD! Thank you Mr. Johonny!
Well said!! Thank you kindly!! 🙏
Praying the Lord sends me a man like this 🙏 amen, let it be His will
Me too! Our Heavenly Father knows how we feel and what we need amen 🙏🏿
This came jut in time all glory to Lord❤
Johnny is absolutely breathtaking! ❤ Beautiful!
THANK YOU FOR BEING A BLESSING IN OUR LIVES.
This was my first time joining the livestream, and it was fantastic! I learned a lot about this topic and from the additional questions Johnny answered during the session. 🙌Thank you, Johnny, and until the next live, God bless everyone! 💖
I didn’t have time to watch the live but I have school but thank you man. Now I’m watching ❤

Thank you brother thank you for doing this for us on this platform. Jesus Amen
Thank you, Johnny. This is what I needed the most. Till yesterday, I had suffered from negative thoughts, and sometimes, I just let that fill up my mind. You just enlightened and reminded me not to go in that direction whenever instrutive thoughts arise.
Thank you!
Praise to the Lord who uses you for His glory!
Thank you bro,since I watched your testimony before I learned a lot from you bro.continue to encourage and preach the word.
Praise the lord brother, and thank you for spreading hope, for Now I have hope for a future thank you.

So grateful for your videos, you helped me understand the root of sin through your testimony.
The checkup every time he finishes explaining something to see if we listened is just great.
God definitely lead me to this video. God bless!
This live was so helpful and good that I stayed from beginning to the finish and it was 5 am when it started and I just randomly woke up at 4.30 am and sleep only 3 hours. So this is definitely worth it time to watch. Thank you Johnny for this live 🙏
Exactly what I’m going through wow thank u bro, God Bless You!
