Religious OCD - intrusive thoughts

I love God & Jesus so much and having these awful blasphemous thoughts suck! I’ve been through this before and eventually got over it but it came back! I get cussing thoughts, rejection thoughts and just the opposite thoughts of who I am and what I value! I love them so much and I get scared what if I’ve said these intrusive thoughts out loud! I don’t think I have but the thoughts can be just so loud! Any advice to move forward past these thoughts? I’m trying to remind myself God & Jesus loves me no matter what but it can be hard when I’m being plagued by these blasphemous thoughts that make you doubt yourself too! Makes you doubt if you’re a Christian for these awful thoughts! Please any advice? Will God & Jesus be with me no matter what? I love them so much!

I have the same type of OCD. Intrusive thoughts that I have blasphemed the Holy Spirit or think that God is bad. I am just starting my journey of learning how to deal with these thoughts properly but what has helped before is to listen to worship music and sing along with the music ( you don’t have to be loud ) so I can force myself to focus on something else even though I have the thoughts running through my head. I doubt my salvation and if He loves me still a lot too but He understands what we are going through. Wishing you the best just know you are not alone in this!

You definitely still love Jesus! Intrusive thoughts attack the things we value most, so as strange as it sounds the fact that you are having these thoughts is proof of your love of God! 1 John 4:18 says that if you fear God it is for fear of punishment, but if you are able to wrap your mind around how much God loves you and the relationship He wants to have with you, you won’t fear Him at all! So here are some things about God you should consider that I think will help you understand His love even better: God is omniscient, which means all-knowing. He has known every single thing that you would ever do since before the creation of the world. He knows every step you’ll ever take, He has the hairs on your head numbered, and He knows your thoughts from afar. God is also considerably smarter than we could ever hope of being and He understands your thoughts and feelings better than you do. He knows your heart and can easily discern which thoughts are real and which ones are intrusive nonsense. He will never get confused about your thoughts or upset with you about them. Your thoughts don’t surprise Him and it is impossible for you to disappoint Him. Additionally, when you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior you become a new creation. Your old self is crucified with Christ and it is no longer you who live, but Christ who lives in you. You are filled with the Holy Spirit and your past, present, and future sins are completely covered once and for all by the blood of Jesus as you are imputed with His righteousness. This means that when God looks at you He just sees the righteousness of Christ and none of your sins! So if you have accepted Jesus as your Savior (and it sounds like you have) then that means that you can come boldly into God’s presence without any fear knowing that He approves of you, He loves you, and that you have been added into His family and will have an eternal inheritance! I am a Bible teacher and I get a little excited when it comes to discussing this stuff, so I may have given you way more than you wanted. But I’ll also gladly answer any questions if you have any. I hope this helps!

Religious OCD rejection thoughts

Does any get rejection thoughts about God & Jesus? My current theme is doubting them and I love God & Jesus so much! Yesterday I had a thought about “I reject ___” and it scared me so bad and hurt my heart so much! I’ve had that thought before and was able to move forward and i believe I was forgiven but I feel like my OCD is now trying to latch onto this theme. Any advice? Has anyone had those thoughts to?

Religious OCD & Intrusive Thoughts

So about 2 weeks ago I started having blasphemous intrusive thoughts about God & Jesus! I’ve had them before but they’re hard to brush off because you feel awful and disgusted for even having them. They were “rejecting thoughts” I finally was able to just let them float on by and not pay attention to them. My main theme is doubting God & Jesus but I’ve noticed it’ll switch on me. Sometimes my mind will doubt if it’s OCD! So currently 2 days ago I’ve been getting the blasphemous thoughts again but when I said “I love you Jesus” I heard instead of Jesus it was Satan! I panicked and sometimes when I say I love Jesus and God I hear “I love you S____” it freaks me out!!! I love God & Jesus so much! Those thoughts cause so much anxiety!!! I would never say that thought and I wish it would go away or remove all those thoughts! I Like ughh those awful intrusive thoughts hurts so much! Some times if feels like I think them or say them purposely in my mind! But I try to remind myself I don’t want them! They cause so much anxiety and distress for a reason! It’s just so annoying when it’s constantly changing and throwing other “themes” I try to tell myself this is still in the same category! I had a certain blasphemous thought weeks ago and now it’s a “new” one and I think it’s still a thought it’s just different and maybe that’s how it’s trying to trip me up! But then usually a bunch of them start coming like beating me down! Maybe it’s the themes switching up on me again but ughh it’s really hard! Makes it feel like it’s me but I don’t want these thoughts at all!!! Everytime I say I love Jesus & God those thoughts come and just randomly! I feel like it’s “me” but I’m reminding myself it’s OCD! The more I react the more they come! They make me feel like God is mad at me or He doesn’t love me which I know isn’t true at all! I know He loves me so much!! It’s just so sad that my mind thinks that! Sometimes I feel like He is mad or will leave me but I know that’s not true!! Any advice please 😭

Religious OCD - Blasphemous Intrusive Thoughts

Hi everyone! My main theme in religious OCD is doubting God & Jesus! It hurts me heart I love them but I’m trying to remember His love and grace! Recently I’ve been having major blasphemous intrusive thoughts! I’ve had them before throughout my OCD journey but this time it’s kinda hard to let go and they’re coming so hard! They scare me! They can be very mean and just disgusting. Cursing, denying and just thoughts I hate! I ask for forgiveness and don’t always “feel” forgiven! I love Jesus & God! These thoughts hurt so much! Sometimes they make me feel like I want them or I’m saying them on purpose! I feel like I subconsciously “check” & ruminating on them. I know this is a normal and common OCD theme but it’s like sometimes I feel like I doubt my OCD! Especially whenever I have blasphemous intrusive thoughts! Like my brain just thinks “nope it’s you not OCD”. Like it doesn’t feel like OCD but Ik OCD can make it feel “very real”. It makes me feel like God is mad at me or upset! Or He doesn’t love me as much or just can’t be “forgiven” which I know is a lie and not true! I love God so much! Ik OCD attacks on hat we love it’s just my mind will doubt I have it! Please any tips to overcome these thoughts! I feel a lot of shame, guilt, fear, anxiety and sadness for having these thoughts! I know people say “they’re just thoughts” and not bad but they feel like that. Any advice?! Has anyone else gone through this?
