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.
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?
Wow . Is therapy helping you ?
I’m did exsposures for the hevey themes and it’s not bothering as much as it did before, I still struggle with the religious themed Ocd
@Uncovstark11 Okay awesome ! I start mine really soon. Proud of you
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 .
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
Like the hevey themes of ocd
Does anyone ever have ocd having to do with religion, like Christianity?
Anyone here struggle with intense, intrusive thoughts and is also a Christian? It’s been so hard to believe that God can forgive me for the thoughts that I have been dealing with specifically related to causing harm to those I love, myself and even total strangers, and as a follower of Jesus I’ve wondered so many times how on earth could I possibly have thoughts like this? It terrifies me
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?
