Hello Everyone,

I know you guys get these types of stories all the time but I wanna tell mine too cause everyday now I get concerned of what I thought I said. In January i was getting blasphemous thoughts and I was filled with anxiety from them that everyday I would be so scared from those thoughts. I kept praying to God to help me and I believe he did help me overcome these thoughts. I didn't believe the blasphemous thoughts at all. Those thoughts just frightened me.

I got better around the end of January. I kept researching on the computer about the unforgivable sin and that scared me to. February came and the thoughts were on and off now and I wasn't nervous about them as much as when i first got them. It was after I read about the unpardonable sin when these thoughts came. I was happy to know that I learned I didn't commit that sin. I was so relieved to know that. Then when February came everything was good until Feb. 11 when I said something that gave me anxiety for a week. I was so happy that I was talking good about God, Jesus, and The Holy Spirit. I then got back to talking about the blasphemous thoughts after that. I'm scared to type the sentence I said because I don't know if typing it is a sin too. I was talking about how the devil put all those blasphemous thoughts in my head. I got so scared after I said that because the last sentence before I said that I was talking about how I love the Holy Spirit and then I said "THAT" sentence afterwards.

It was not my intention to commit any sort of blasphemy. I said the sentences separate, They weren't in the same sentence. I don't know if I have OCD but I was so scared that I wasn't eating right at times, like all that anxiety was so bad it was hard to swallow food at times. I got better though after a week. Then last Wednesday I found out that I would have to knowingly, deliberately, and mean it to commit the sin but I absolutely did not mean to commit any sort of blasphemy like I said. Then last Wednesday while I reading on some websites about this sin, I was rebuking the devil. You know telling him to go away cause for the past month I don't know if I was in spiritual warfare or OCD and i still have no idea yet. I then said that I belong to God and that I love Jesus and the Holy Spirit. I don't remember everything that I said but after I said that I was talking to myself again. AND again I said another sentence that sounded wrong but I didn't mean for it to sound wrong. I'm still bothered by it and concerned. By the way I still love God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. I pray daily now and I repented about 9 times since Feb 12. I ask God for forgiveness everyday now but I still get anxiety at times and I start to get sad. It's like Every time I get better, something worse comes up and I keep suffering.

The blasphemous thoughts are back but I don't believe them and I say the opposite of the thoughts out of my mouth. I'm a true Christian and I believe in God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. I still get nervous and concerned at times. I try to calm down by looking at Bible verses and saying ones out loud like John 3:16, Romans 8:1, 1 John 1:9, and more. I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior and confessed with my mouth that Jesus is Lord multiple times and I believe with all my heart that God raised him from the dead on the third day. I think about the unforgivable sin everyday and get nervous thinking I committed it but I know I didn't. I will always keep the commandments and do the best i possibly can because I love God and Jesus. I don't wanna go to hell. This one time I opened up the Bible and it brought me to John 3:16 and that felt good to see. I keep reading that if I'm worried about this sin then I haven't committed it. My feelings are up and down. When there up I think of what I said and the anxiety builds up again. I keep asking God for forgiveness and I know I'm forgiven. I believe I'm in spiritual warfare or OCD. I'm not so sure but I would think Spiritual Warfare. I feel better while typing this cause I know there are so many kind and loving people that know my pain. I'm sure most of you were in the same situation I'm in now or were in it. I will never commit blasphemy on purpose. After those 2 incidents I was so scared. I'm being EXTRA careful what I say out of my mouth.

There are sometimes that when I wake up in the morning I get anxiety sometimes but it goes away quickly and then it's on and off during the day cause I just can't forget about those sentences I said. I love the Holy Spirit and i know he's my helper. I try to be the nicest boy that I could possibly be. I feel like I got the fruits of the Spirit. I'm a new creation and i feel the same as i was back then before all this started. It's just all these Blasphemous Thoughts and the memories of Feb 11 and Feb 20 still scare me. Whatever happened on Feb 11 does not scare me as much anymore cause i know God knows my heart very well. I wasn't into all this before 2014 Then I said now look at me, I listen to Christian Music, read Bible verses, getting closer to God, etc. I'm trying to learn new things everyday. I don't have a hardened heart towards anyone. I'm still getting blasphemous Thoughts from time to time but they don't bother me much anymore like back in January. I'm also getting doubts that i don't want as well that bother me. I trust that God knows my heart very well and knows that if i did say anything bad that i didn't mean it. I'm getting better though each day but i still get nervousness in my stomach at times.

Anyway that's my story and I thank to all of you to take the time to read it and i hope you all enjoyed it and i'll be glad to hear from all of you. :)

God loves you very much :)

Sounds like you are definitely under attack from the enemy my brother. You have not committed the "unpardonable sin." Don't believe the lies of the enemy like I did for years. I kept having thoughts of suicide and never thought I would amount to anything. Rebuke those thoughts as soon as they pop up. Your salvation is not based on how you feel, but instead what the Word says. The Word says you are redeemed! And no power can EVER pluck you from His hand! Rest in His finished work my brother!

Do you attend a church where there are prayer warriors who can pray for you? I would suggest you get prayer for deliverance of your anxiety. Be confident that you are His child. You cannot blaspheme the Holt Spirit unless you intentionally blaspheme the Holy Spirit. I had some anxieties about this exact thing when I first read about it so I can relate. It's probably just demons putting thoughts in our heads. Just ignore them and pray to God and thank Him for everything He's done for you.
Be sure to get prayer at your church it's important.

Check out this article. Might help. Keep faith my brother.
What is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit? | Bibleinfo.com


This happens every single time this comes up, so it isn't just you, so no offense intended.

This from the site you linked:

"What is the unpardonable sin?
Jesus Himself said in Matthew 12:31, “Therefore I say to you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven men.” If a person truly listens to the promptings of the Holy Spirit and asks for pardon and forgiveness that person is not guilty of blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. Let’s discover more about the second part of the verse below."

That is simply not true. Unpardonable/unforgivable means what it means and that clown is changing the words of the bible...blatantly.

What's behind all the talk that explain away the unforgivable sin? It's simple, people don't like what the scripture is saying so they change it, happens all the time for whatever reason. Fortunately for those that are realists, it's so clear in the bible that anyone who tries to explain it away ends up looking pretty silly. I mean anyone in their right mind will look at their explanations and think "That's not right at all"

My guess is the OP knows exactly what it is, and if not, it's in the bible, and it's clear enough that, as mentioned, you can tell if someone defines completely differently than what it is, as they often do


And BTW, ZIGGY5214 it sounds like you may have a touch of OCD. Of course only a doc can tell you for sure but it could be very mild (most of us have a touch of it) and nothing to concern yourself with, especially if things like this are the only type things you obsess over...lots of people do that but it's especially bad for the OCD crowd.

ADIT:
Meant to mention, if you are just thinking these things and not saying them out loud in front of others, it is my strong opinion, it doesn't count. In Oder to carry out blasphemy words must be spoken. It's the whole idea of the scripture that when we do that, it makes others believe, in this case for example, works of the Holy spirit are of Satan, and they won't get that from you if you don't actually say it. :)

I just added to my post something about saying and thinking it. Did you just think it?

And on stressing over this daily, if anyone is going to do that, this would be a good reason too, but I still don't think yet that you have committed it.

Well in January i had blasphemous Thoughts that scared me but it took a couple of weeks to not be bothered by them anymore. February 11 came and i was alone and talking to myself and i was talking about how i love God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit and then after that i said another sentence after that. I said that it was the devil that has been putting blasphemous thoughts into my head but i wasn't talking about anything else in that sentence but the devil. It might've sounded bad but it was not my intention to say anything blasphemous.

It doesn't sound like you actually said anything to hurt yourself in that regard.

Did you think/say the work of the Holy Spirit was the work of the devil?

I am curious why you think just thinking something will also get you in trouble?

Even unto salvation it takes our heart and our mouth to confess.

I will never say anything like that.

:oldthumbsup:

Then you're fine, absolutely no doubt.

In spite of all the silly confusion on the scripture, that's exactly what Jesus said was the unforgivable sin...saying the work of the holy spirit is the work of the devil...that simple.

You may think you said other things that seemed like they could be unforgivable, or that was at least actually sin, but in that very scripture it says specifically all other sins can be forgiven, even mouthing off about Christ.

Next time this comes up, get in there and read "exactly" what the word is telling us...that's all that's important. I understand we tend to worry about the what's true and what's not prematurely, but we don't have to if we just read carefully. And it's not just you, we've all been guilty of not looking closely or believing people over the bible.

I can see how that post may have led you to believe I though that but in the last paragraph of post seven, you'll see I went into that in some detail, and how it's hard to be blasphemy if it wasn't spoken, and most likely impossible.
