I feel that this post could be triggering so please approach with caution! I’ve been having a lot of intrusive thoughts about the devil getting sent my intrusive thoughts and then making them come true. This has also led some of my intrusive thoughts to include that they’re for him. It’s really scary. I’m not even religious, but it’s really hard to shake. Does anyone have any advice or comfort? Thanks <3
Remember all these thoughts aren’t from God, therefore, they are from the enemy (Devil). It’s important to pray to God because he’s the only person that could help you with these thoughts. The devil is trying to put these thoughts in your head and to make you doubt yourself, acknowledge this and pray every time in name of Jesus.
@st4rg1rl.xo Can the devil make them come true? That’s what really scares me
@hanna13 No, don’t let him win you. They are lies. God is the truth.
I'm so sorry you're having these intrusive thoughts. That sounds scary indeed. While I know OCD can't really be "reasoned with", the truth is the devil doesn't have that much power over us unless we give it to him. God will always be the highest power and the devil must bow to Him. Try inviting God into this situation (no need to sound "religious" either) -- just talk to Him like a friend and ask Him to remove those intrusive thoughts and replace them with pleasant, calming thoughts. I would also ask Him to wipe out any OCD lying thoughts that are holding you captive -- as a fellow sufferer, I know OCD is a big liar that feels like an unrelenting prison. I will be praying for you.
@cyc1017 You put it into words perfectly, the truth is we all need God.
@cyc1017 Thank you so much. This means a lot to hear. I really appreciate this help and kindness <3
@st4rg1rl.xo Yes, we all need God. He will fight our battles ... if we can just let go and release them to Him (easier said than done, I know!)
@hanna13 To answer your question, no the devil cannot make you act on your thoughts. He only has the amount of power you give him, and he's really just a puny annoying pest! He has already been defeated by God, so remind him of that and he will start backing off. And keep reminding him of that until this battle is over. God wants you to have the victory, so invite Him into the battle to fight with you 😉
@cyc1017 I know this may be a dumb question, but does he have the power to cause something bad happen to people I care about? Like not through me, but through something completely out of my control?
@hanna13 No. He is actually very powerless. The only power he has is what each individual allows him to have! So, unless someone becomes a Satanist and gives him power over their lives, he can't do anything except lie, lie, lie. That's why he is called the Father of Lies. His hope is that we all succumb to his lies because then (and only then) he can achieve his goal to kill, steal and destroy. I encourage you to have a little chat today with God about this ... He's been waiting to hear from you because he loves you ❤️ He's our Daddy God (Abba Father) who longs for us to just hang out with him -- relationship, not religion.
@cyc1017 Thank you so much for all your help 💗 it means so much
Happy to help!
hey, i'm really sorry you're going through this. it sounds incredibly tough, but you're not alone in feeling this way. 🖤 you should try "unstuck," it's a new ai-powered therapy tool specifically for ocd (just google "unstuck app for ocd"). my nocd therapist recommended it to me, and it's been a big help this past month. might be worth checking out for you too.
Rest assures that these are only the "whispers" of the devil and that he has no power beyond that.
Has anyone ever had ocd focus on the devil? Whenever I watch a show where they portray him as wounded or the good guy I start to believe it myself, like start questioning if Satan was bad or if God was unfair about punishing him. It's driving me insane because I keep obsessing over how I'll get possessed or turn into a horrible person because of these thoughts. But I don't know how to get rid of them or how to do any exposure in this situation cause even though I'm not a believer in God, I fear evil, and I can't touch it even if it helps. All I do is compulsively pray and beg God for forgiveness and I hate the cycle but don't know how to break it.
Been having some harm intrusive thoughts tonight when trying to sleep and I really wanted to vent but then I got scared that if I discussed it out loud or wrote it over text that the devil/one of his demons would hear and tempt someone to do something harmful to me/those I love. I have therapy tomorrow but now feel like I can’t tell her what I’m going through because of this fear. Any help?
Does anyone else get thoughts that just seem evil? I love God & Jesus so much but recently I’ve been having Satan thoughts, devil thoughts and they bother me! Like selling soul, worshipping the enemy, enemy thoughts, thoughts about your heart and stuff. Literally blasphemous thoughts! It bugs me so much and makes me want to cry. I’ve had some thoughts like these before but recently they have gotten so much worse. Please has anyone gone through this? I pray God & Jesus stay with me!
