How to accept blasphemous thoughts? people might giving me some verses but those are not enough ive been fighting this anxiety for 10 months right now! And (can you answer my feelings?) the more i think good thoughts then my body gives me chill of nervousness and feeling thatbi will be living this distress for all of my life like i cant be happy eternally.
Look up Mark DeJesus - the OCD healing journey I’m going through the exact same thing. Keep starving the compulsions (for example my compulsions were responding to the thoughts with “no” or an argument against them, but that just made the thoughts grow). I’ll often end up with a scary thought in my head but then it sticks there due to OCD. I think it’s also accepting that thoughts aren’t necessarily sin. Satan (or your OCD) can plant thoughts in your head & tempt you, which isn’t a sin. Thats not your fault, and God knows that. The fact that the thoughts disturb you means you don’t want them & they’re not truly you. Don’t give the thoughts power, they’re not you. I myself am really trying to trust that His grace will cover this weird time in my life. I try to look at it this way: if you went up to someone with perfect love (1 John 4:18) and told them you were having thoughts that scared you, they wouldn’t cast you out. They’d feel compassionate towards you & want to help you. I listened to a podcast once that told me that. Hoping this helps!
whats you action i dealing tre thoughts?
I just want not be scared of what will i think, what will i feel and everything that makes me struggle because the more i think God the more im agitated, the more im uncomfy hehehehh
@Kizuu To be totally honest, I’m still figuring that out. It seems like just ignoring them is the best option for me personally. My therapist has me use “I live my life, not my compulsions” as a response as well, but not to every thought because that can become a compulsion as well. As a response to “what if..” questions, some people use “maybe it will happen, maybe it won’t.” It seems like the key is to make your brain think you don’t care about the thoughts, and they’ll stop. I’m working believing this myself, but God knows your heart and that’s what He cares about - not the head. “If you confess with your mouth Jesus is lord, and believe in your heart He was raised from the dead, you will be saved.”
im so afraid. someone said that blasphemy of the holy spirit is when you say something thats untrue. and my ocd is having a field day with it. i believe God is amazing, great and forgiving. however why are my thoughts this way, it gives me anxiety down to my toes and makes me want to vomit. im sorry if this triggers someone or anything. God Bless, Jesus Loves You.
I am a christian guy who grew up in a christian community and family. For as long as i remember, ive had horrible thoughts about all kinds of things that i dont know where to begin. Due to my extreme thoughts, i feel as if i am unworthy of practicing my religioin, such as praying, reading, meditating, etc. I feel ashamed when i go to church, as if i dont belong there because i feel like i am secretely evil, and that God knows i am evil and i am committing blasphemy by going there, and refusing to "repent", from my thoughts. But then again, my thoughts are just thoughts, sure. So whats the problem? - The problem is that in my faith, i have been taught that we must control our thoughts, so they do not get power over us to make us commit sin. Such as "If you think lustfully about a woman, you have already committed adultery with her in your heart". This verse has killed my self esteem, due to the constant unwanted sexual and disturbing thoughts. It makes me feel like a monster, who secretely just wants to abuse and be horrible to people, even though i know very well i do not want this. Sometimes i think horrible things about the people i love very much, such as my girlfriend. It feels so wrong and evil, even though i know it isnt my true will.
It’s been hard. I feel so trapped. I felt okay about a week ago. But these thoughts are really hitting me hard. Especially doubt too. Doubt if God & Jesus loves me because of these awful blasphemous thoughts! Doubts if I’m his child! Doubts if I am saved! I feel like I’m thinking then on purpose but I don’t want these thoughts! They bother me so much! It’s like a tick or Tourette’s in my brain. I also have thoughts switches I’ll say I love god but then it’ll changed to something so evil is gross :( It feels like I don’t have a relationship with God anymore or like I don’t know how to anymore. It makes me sad and stressing me out. I obviously try not to think awful things but the more I try not too the worse they are. I just feel so lost. I was so on fire and felt like my faith for God & Jesus was unstoppable but now I feel like I’m so far or how could he possibly love me anymore. How could I have these thoughts :(
