Can I trust my conversations with God despite my OCD doubts?

Hearing the voice of God

So I have personal conversations with God every morning and night. OCD, for being what it is, continues to deny this and says it wasn’t him. However, when I do speak to him, I get a sense of love, comfort, faith, and connection like I’ve never felt before. There were times where I was completely depressed and shocked and I was weeping tremendously. After speaking with God, I stopped crying and felt much better. He never contradicts his word and says to me constantly to read the Bible. He encourages me to do a lot of things and tells me what I should and should not do. When he talks, it’s a peaceful, soft voice. There are times where I get distracted, but he tells me to just take deep breaths and refocus on him. He tells me that I am much stronger than my OCD and tells me to have faith and trust in him. OCD still gets on my case about this though. I know this isn’t the enemy because the enemy wouldn’t say what I told you. He always calls me, “my son”. He tells me that I am precious and that he knew me before I was formed in the womb. When I see other people that apparently talked to him, not saying they didn’t I would never I’m assuming, I would ask why did you say this to them. He would reply that what I tell them is the business and relationship I have with them. He said to only focus on MY relationship with him. I would even ask him why would he speak to me this way. He would reply that this is HIS way of talking to me, that this way helps me the most. He even says to me “I am God” and to not be anxious about anything. OCD gets distracted during conversations and visions even from time to time, but in my heart I know it’s the Lord speaking to me

The same thing happens to me. I am on the care team at church and pray for people, even when I'm going through stuff. The word of God says we are not fighting against flesh & blood but spiritual forces, powers, principalities in heavenly realms. The enemy uses OCD as a strategy to keep you from your purpose. It attaches itself to everything you care about. That sounds like an evil spirit doesn't it? The Holy Spirit will speak to you and unbelievers will try to medicate you or call you crazy because you talk to God. His voice is very real and the source of all healing. Jesus went about healing every person He came across, while OCD tries to make you fearful of caring about others. It is a distraction and weapon that will not prosper. God gave us a spirit of power, love, and a sound mind. Fear is not our portion and not our future. The best thing we can do is do what we are called to do, even if it scares us.

@Jacquelinda Yes ofc! God told me many things that are right and wrong. He shedded some light on what was true, and gives me some wisdom. Thing is OCD keeps saying that’s not God and it’s really stressing me out

@Jacquelinda I keep telling myself that, but OCD is a demon itself. There are many things that God did indeed tell me. There have been some people online where they have had testimonies, not saying it didn’t happen, and I would get nervous by it. There are many things that God told me what was ok, even when the Church disagreed

@anthonycaronna EXACTLY! As long as it didn't contradict His word, you're good.

Wow, thank you for this post. Lately I have been feeling like ocd and worry overpowers me and that I should be laying my fears and worry at Jesus’ feet. I even spoke to a friend and told her I have been having trouble hearing God bc of my anxiety and today I see this post. This to me is confirmation from God to put my trust in Him. I even took my Bible out before I saw this post bc I have not been in Gods word for a few months now. God bless you all

(Pocd) Please help me!!! I'm a Christian and as i've mentioned before Ive had mind chatters where i tell God to confirm if im a pedo or not by me hearing about a pedo getting delivered (and it actually happened because a user on here who's a good friend of mine shared a story about that!!!) And ive also mind chattered to Him to lemme know thru a dream and it just happened too!!!. I literally feel hot right now and I feel so much doom because I just woke up and dreamt something about a paper like a test having the word pedophilia in it I think it asked "do you have pedophilia?" with a fill in the blanks answer and the word "truth" was written as the answer ? these are just too much coincidences for it to not be God actually telling me. As we Christians know, there are no coincidences in God and that scares me even more!!. I always tell Him " don't listen to my mind chatters you know they don't come from the heart!! The reason I mind chatter about things is because I'm scared of them actually happening!" But now I'm starting to think my mind chatters are so much more meaningful than i thought. Maybe it wasn't even a dream and I just pictured it while being asleep and awake at the same time since my ocd thoughts wake me up night sometimes? Or am I just in denial to try to calm myself down? Omg how can I forget about all this I really don't wanna relapse ...

Confusion

Sometimes I have thoughts that I would normally assume to be ocd, not sound like ocd. I start to think/feel that it's God telling me to do these things?? I then end up feeling guilty for not immediately implementing these things into my life. I hate that so much of what used to feel like ocd seems unclear. I don't feel like a good person. I know a lot of sermons aren't made with ocd in mind, but I feel like I'm not listening to God if I don't listen to thoughts I would've thought were ocd before

Fear of Hearing Voices

When I first started to deal with Schiz-OCD it has always been fear about internal voices. I’ve become overly obsessed with the process of my inner dialogue. This has always been the main fear regarding Schiz-OCD. Questioning my inner monologue, command thoughts/voices, mocking thoughts/voices, voice commenting on what your doing. Anything you can think of. It’s more like I’m thinking the voices if that makes sense. It’s more of a thought/voice but I feel that I have habituated it to the point that it’s automatic and I have lost control of this inner speech. I can create how it sounds, what it says and the tone of it based on my imagination. But I feel that it is getting to the point of real schizophrenia. I’ve been checking in with multiple psychiatrists and professionals who don’t think I have schizophrenia at all. I don’t have any delusions,external hallucinations, disorganized thinking or speech. It’s only the inner voice/thought things and I’m not sure what to do. Is this Pure O or Schizophrenia ? Very confused on what this could mean for my future. Feels as if I’m developing my biggest fear and that it’s not OCD anymore.
