• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Blasphemous Thoughts -- do you ever feel like you choose to think them?

Hi,

I have struggled with blasphemous thoughts regarding the Holy Spirit, off and on for several years. It is particularly bad right now. I've begun medication and taken steps to just ignore the thoughts and have seen some success with that, but sometimes I fail. What bothers me the most now is that sometimes it feels like I "choose" to think a blasphemous thought, and it's really hard to discern whether it's OCD or me. When it happens I'm generally in the midst of an OCD storm of thoughts of increasing magnitude, and countering them in my heart or verbally, and for whatever reason I suddenly think "more fully" such a thought in a way that feels very intentional. Perhaps just to be rebellious, or think the opposite of what I'm trying to say, just because I'm not supposed to. Does anyone else experience this or have any insight as to what is going on and whether this specific aspect is a component of OCD?

I experience this, so I can relate. When I am stuck in a storm of thoughts I sometimes think the bad thoughts compulsively or impulsively, but not from my heart ever.

That is helpful to know. I've read some of your earlier posts and some of the very specific scenarios that you had mentioned I too have experienced. How do you describe the difference between thinking a thought impulsively, and thinking it from your heart?

Compulsive thoughts come from wrong living inside, as well as outside of us, i found to be true. This is why we can never fully escape wrongful thoughts and we ought not to worry about them.

For we are sinners at heart and we live in a sinful world, so the dark forces ruling this planet attack people who care, like us, with dark thoughts and feelings, to captivate us in their nets, so they (the wicked,) can torture us relentlessly. It are the powers of the air we are fighting!

So to have bad thoughts does not make us bad, but rather show us that bad life is around trying to catch us with their lies and it is best to go to Jesus and let His loving truth protect us from them.

So i found that compulsive thoughts are best observed rather than believed. Thoughts are merely us trying to make sense of what is going on all around us, and do not necessarily reflex what lives in our hearts, but rather shows that the wicked are trying to conquer us though their lies. Trying to make us believe them, and us thinking them is us, and then to let their bad life into our hearts believing their hurtful lies.

For have you noticed how bad life gets when you believe those kind of thoughts? That is the trap of the wicked, the bible calls it the fowler's net, faith in God's love is what we need to escape such fate.

For i found that love for God, myself and other people lives in my heart, and that if my thoughts take off on me, accusing, threatening, oppressing, confusing, mocking, belittling, hating, me, that then it is best to go to Jesus in my heart to find the truth of my situation, rather than trying to work out my thoughts torturing me.

The moment i eat God's grace the battle is over. To have faith in Jesus' mercy even if we are guilty of wrongdoing is the only way to escape our captivity by the wicked.

i know that when i go back to love for God then i become calm inside and my racing thoughts begin to have less power over me instantly. The more i stay in love for God, the more God pours His love into me doing that, this is how i know it is the best way to fight O.C.D type thoughts and feelings.

i know now that whenever i fear, i'm stuck with thoughts in my mind, and i'm always being accused of wrong, and it always seems like Christ's sacrifice was not for me. Then i know that thanking Jesus for grace, and holding onto His graceful love will set me free from my anxiety, sooner or later. It is for me to go to my heart, to hold onto love for God with all i got, and stop heeding my mind scaring the living daylight out of me. i know such can be very hard to do. Yet so worth it. For fighting my intrusive thoughts this way, Jesus has conquered all my fears, and sets me more and more free in His loving truth.

So when we operate out of our heart we operate out of love for God, self and neighbour and let His loving truth shape our thoughts and feelings. When we feel anxious, accused, or wrong in any way it is for us to believe Jesus and thank Him for His sacrifice. i know the moment we trust His sacrifice for us, God's loving grace sets us free from our tormentors. This way our minds come to rest and His peace and well being can descend down upon us again.

So i say keep trying to live out of your loving heart, rather than your educated mind. For i know that the more we dwell in the love for God, self and neighbour, the freer we will be from those horrible thoughts we have all the time because of our mental illness.

Be of very good courage. Jesus paid your price in full!

Peace.

1 Peter 3:8-17
"Finally, all of you, be like-minded, be sympathetic, love one another, be compassionate and humble. Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult. On the contrary, repay evil with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing. For,


“Whoever would love life
and see good days
must keep their tongue from evil
and their lips from deceitful speech.
They must turn from evil and do good;
they must seek peace and pursue it.
For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous
and his ears are attentive to their prayer,

but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.



Who is going to harm you if you are eager to do good? But even if you should suffer for what is right, you are blessed. “Do not fear their threats; do not be frightened. But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behaviour in Christ may be ashamed of their slander. For it is better, if it is God’s will, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil."

I wouldn’t dwell on it. I don’t have the answers, but sometimes I rebel and do the same. But the point is not why but to free yourself. You have to repent and be made clean. Be cause you sure won’t be able to free yourself carrying more and more of those sins. So repent and God will free you from the guilt. Then have a fresh start at it. He still loves you and all mi people because sometimes they can’t help it.

I will say that for me a low amount of sleep has a high correlation with negative/ugly/obsessive thinking. I have to deliberately choose "ok, these thoughts are not from you, they are not aligned with you - help". And then sometimes, Help can be listening to meditative prayers, anything other than what I was thinking or angry about, I let it go and ask for peace. Often get it. Sometimes it can take 20 or 30 minutes, and I often wake up in a 'less than spiritual mood' and have to spend that time in readings or prayers and re-orientating myself. Sometimes, if I am there at the end of the day, I need it then too.

I've listened to these prayers many times, (moreoften, the morning than the evening) and have the book they come from. I didn't like them at first, but as I listened closely "oh Lord, grant me good thoughts". Even the saints 1,000 years ago were praying that. You are in good company.


One thing I have discovered lately, falling asleep to a good audio book, especially one of a spiritual nature (even indirectly), I love. I have woken up more refreshed and positive 2 days in a row doing that.

I always felt this was a beautiful reading, enjoy it sometime in the evening, and see if your morning does not go better

The thoughts of my heart I know to be true, like the sky is blue, the grass is green and Jesus is the Lord. Impulsive thoughts are those that I know to be false but I have some sort of compulsive or impulsive urge to think them anyway.

What you describe as an impulsive urge, does that seem to you a distinct thing or in that moment does feel like you are choosing to think the thoughts? Sometimes I feel a distinct urge to think them beforehand, but other times in the storm it feels like I just simply choose to think them. It might not matter but I'm just trying to figure out as best I can what's going on in my heart and brain...

This is very typical of OCD, I'd say. I've experienced this same kind of over-thinking before with other obsessive topics. Those of us with OCD tend to be extremely good at over-analyzing and thinking creatively. So now, instead of just thinking "Oh, it's an intrusive thought," your brain is looking to see whether you INTEND to think the thoughts, and to catch you that way. So it is, as you call it, just another "component of OCD." Also, we do naturally tend to think what we're trying so hard not to think (like the white elephant analogy, if you've ever heard that), which is why ignoring the OCD is such a powerful way to subvert it. It sounds like you're on the right track with ignoring the thoughts. Another piece of dealing with your OCD would be not allowing yourself to do compulsions. It sounds like one of your current compulsions is "countering" the thoughts, which is playing right into OCD's hand. To truly ignore the thoughts, you would not allow yourself to respond with compulsions. Does that make sense? Also, are you currently able to receive any treatment for your OCD?

Hi Mari, thank you for your reply. I have been able to maybe about half the time either ignore the thoughts, or at least mentally chuck them into the "OCD bucket" as they occur. I've recently read a book called "Brain Lock" that has helped much with that and actively refocusing on something other than the thoughts, and also a few weeks ago began SSRI medication. It is quite difficult when the compulsions are mental in nature -- if it were hand-washing or something physical that would seem so much easier.
Something that is becoming helpful to me just in the last couple of days is Romans 7:14-25, in which like Paul I too "do not understand my own actions. For I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate", and his God-inspired conclusion is "if I do what I do not want, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells within me." Thus from the Bible's point of view, whether it be OCD or sin that dwells within me, it's not me. And of course due to my OCD I'm prone to question my intents, motives, etc even in that, but my overarching struggle/anxiety/stress and desire to be rid of these thoughts and trying to do the proper things to lessen their frequency and impact, is proof enough to me and my OCD brain where I really do stand on the matter.

It sounds like you've got some healthy plans/behaviors in place: taking SSRIs, ignoring intrusive thoughts, educating yourself about OCD. I recommend continuing to research about treating OCD, and applying what you learn; looking into getting a therapist who specializes in treating OCD would be another option, if you felt you could use some professional help. A couple of resources I really like are ocdandchristianity.com (including the blog posts), and the FB support group "Christianity and Anxiety Disorders." I can also recommend other resources if you like, but those are two of my favorites. Oh, and the articles of Mitzi VanCleve: The OCD Christian (She's the one who started the FB group above.) OK, I'll stop for now! :)

That sounds just like me..............had it for so long that now I have severe depersonalization/Derealization 24 /7...........when I even attempt to try to worship God or pray and or study my Bible it as if I start deliberately thinking blasphemous thoughts. Then fear comes over me.....then depersonalization is heightened to the utmost degree as the thoughts get more statistics as if out of anger I began to think them from my heart........ then feelings of bitterness and hatred overwhelm me as if im bitter at God which in return makes me feel even more insane because I want nothing more than to love God....... I tried everything and nothing works it's miserable I wish I could go back to 2099 when I got saved it was the most wonderful experience I don't know why this has happened to me.......... due to the duress of the mental strain I feel like I have the flu 24/7.......... I am talking with therapist right now but doesn't seem like it will help but it's worth anything I wish I was dead honestly........ I mean this stuff just comes against my will.......it's like getting pounded in the face and there's nothing I can do about it!! I can be having the most wonderful day and all of a sudden this crap comes over me and it's absolutely miserable! I wish it would just go away!!! I've tried everything from Erp to even thinking the thoughts purposely!!! I've done everything and nothing works it just gets worse! If it wasn't from me having Ativan I don't know what I would do!!!

Is your therapist familiar with treating OCD? What strategies is he/she using to help you treat it?

Pretty much exposing myself to the thought and learning that it's just a thought that one day it should just lose its power......pretty much doing ERP.....
when you feel a blasphemous thought coming deliberately think it let the worst happen learn to accept the unknown learn to let the thoughts be there train your brain that they're just thoughts but the funny thing is I've done all that and it's made it absolutely 10 times worse........iv done ERP I've deliberately thought the thoughts and then afterwards let the worst depersonalization anxiety come my way nothing works maybe this therapist may have a different trick up his sleeve but my mind is addicted to these thoughts I don't know why I can't explain it but I think them out of habit now I can think nothing good only evil

I'm at the point now if I read anything related to God or even think on God this feeling comes over me of blasphemy!!!! I can feel it!!! I feel like I want to commit the sin!!! I feel like within me I'm deliberately committing it and I don't care anymore!!!!! Obviously the more I tried to ignore it or accept it as being there the worst it got!!!! it has overtaken me!!!! it has consumed me!!! it's all I think about!!!!! I cant think of nothing but these thoughts!!! I even feel blasphemy which is torment Beyond torment!!! I can't tell whether it's me or not. The only thing I have is that when they do come they put anxiety over me that's got to account for something! Maybe if they were truly from my heart I would be happy and go on and live a happy life with the devil right?? it's almost as if I want to go to hell now or at least these bizzar feelings and mental thoughts have worked me into thinking so! I don't know if because I have had this for so long that it has warped my thinking and emotions but if I don't get help soon my life is over.......

Zachariah while I don't struggle with this 100% of the time as it seems you experience, I can attest (as can many others) that even bizarre urges and feelings of wanting to commit the sin and feelings of actually doing so, concerns over whether it's you or something not-you is thinking/feeling/doing the forbidden thing, and the like is sometimes just a part of this. Something that has helped me greatly in recent days (and I hope is helpful to you as well) is considering:

1) that other saints now glorifying God in heaven (particularly John Bunyan) had experienced bouts of where it very much seemed like in some horrible twisted way that nothing was so tempting as committing the unforgivable sin. From Grace Abounding:
"In these days, when I have heard others
talk of what was the sin against the Holy
Ghost, then would the tempter so provoke me
to desire to sin that sin, that I was as if I could
not, must not, neither should be quiet until I
had committed that; now, no sin would serve
but that...."

and 2) something inside of you (the real you) recognizes that this something constantly going on in your head troubles you greatly and you don't quite understand what the heck is going on, and you are still seeking help or advice and have taken steps such as ERP (have you also tried medication like SSRIs to treat the OCD?) to be rid of or at least greatly reduce the occurrence of the thoughts -- which shows what your true desires actually are.

Does it matter whether or not you have these intrusive thoughts/feelings? I mean, does it affect your daily life (that is, your actions)?

very much so.........I feel strong depersonalization..........my passion and love for the thing of God seems to have vanished all together thus making me constantly sick! My mind is constantly thinking contrary to everything related to God,Jesus,and the Holy Spirit.........I can even feel the thoughts which makes it worse!
