I struggled with this theam as well when the pandemic started. remember that intrusive thoughts are intrusive thoughts even if it feels reel. I still deal with it today, I would think the opposite as a compilation. The escape is to do exposures, I know it’s feels scary but you can make it, If it’s the spirit of fear; it did not come from God, remember that God would never leave you or forsake you. Because fear dose not come from God, then it Trigger Warning ⚠️ the (Devil) who condemns. Not Jesus who died on the cross for yours, my sins & everyone sins. I know reinsurance is bad for OCD, but also this is important to know. In the end of my junior year of high school, I started having similar intrusive thoughts about blastfame of the Holy Spirit, I thought I was going to die, or God was going to leave me and take every body else to heaven. I still struggle with intrusive thoughts now. I’m doing better but still struggle, I’m also scared about having intrusive thoughts about Trigger Warning ⚠️ (the Mark of beast) Just know that the Spirit of fear doesn’t come from God. Learning to trust that God would never forsake you will take time, take time to know that God want to help you in this situation, you can talk to God about anything, it’s the enemy luring to you so you will feel condemned. God is allowing you to have these intrusive thoughts so you can get over your fear so you can experience Gods love. Remember God love you and he sent his son Jesus (him self as God) to dye on the cross for your sins.

Please remember this: Conviction is from God to lead you to more closeness with Him. Condemnation is from the Prince of Lies who is trying to incite fear. Next time you gets these thoughts and the devil makes you feel guilty just say to him…”yup you’re right, I thought this or I did this, I am a sinner, that is true. But it’s not about me and my works! It’s about Jesus and what He did on the cross! I will hope in His bountiful mercy”

Also go to Mark Dejesus’s website and watch his videos about religious OCD. You’ll be glad you did. God bless.

I love Mark Dejesus ! I was in a comment section about another OCD video and someone recommended him . I’ve been watching him ever since . He is literally the exact example of me . Also , it was thoughts before that would come to my mind , but now I feel as if these thoughts originate from me . Like I feel as if I respond to things in my head with these thoughts now . If I have any question about anything bad , it gives room for the blasphemous thoughts to come in . Hopefully that makes sense . All in all , I honestly feel as if it’s me now .

Wow , well said . I never knew how much people went through these things . It’s a lot . I just got introduced to this . My wife found this for me last week . Just did my first session with my therapist . I also love seeing and meeting people that I can relate to . I definitely believe that God is going to help me because I have a tremendous amount of fear in my life….especially with these thoughts . It’s so hard not thinking about them . I’ve dealt with them for about a year now . My mind is so trained to think about them and make everything blasphemous. If I see , hear , or do anything spiritually then the thoughts come . I also feel that the thoughts originate from me now . I question my heart all the time , you know ? I’m always rebuking the thoughts to where I’ve developed an OCD with rebuking the thoughts now . Literally every day , every second , every minute , I’m having these thoughts . I want freedom in my mind . I want to experience God’s assurance of love and favor over me . I am so ready to one day get that assurance that He is going to give me . I’ll never even have to worry about these lies anymore . I’ll be praying for you . Let’s both focus on God’s love for us and all of mankind .

I actually have watched so many videos including the ones that you’ve just sent me . I literally spent so much time on YouTube and google for this matter . I agree that’s it’s a lot relieving knowing that I’m not the only one . If you don’t mind me asking , what do you mean by other themes?

I hope this helps, I think it’s good to know you or I are not alone dealing with this I also struggle with other themes that are more taboo. Like real event themed and it feels like there’s no escape. And I always punish my self. Over time I learned that I am not obligated to do those compulsions even when I still struggle. These videos might be helpful. https://youtu.be/G-8UvE4VTWY https://youtu.be/EDfYnM2UtN8

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.

Please help anyone else here with Religious ocd and is a Christian? My brain is going hay-wire and want to know I'm not alone... what do your thoughts say and how do you overcome compulsions? Im going through a rough moment and feel sick with anxiety and stiff. I want to obey God but my thoughts won't stop. I surrender to the Lord and then I have peace with the compulsions and they go away but the thoughts are the scary part please - is this spiritual or is it mental? Or is it both? Would love to hear a Christians opinion on this... because my thoughts latch on and won't dissappear but I know that the Bible commands us to take control of our thoughts and to renew our minds...yet God has grace for this and mercy for our every need... I know God is in control (completely) and my mind creates a lot of the issues for me without any spiritual stuff (it's a very powerful thing) but it's still scary. Lord help me, I surrender myself to you Jesus, counsel my soul and help me.
