• 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.

I know this might sound really weird and horrible or whatever, but there have been times where I've wondered if I'm the antichrist. Sounds weird, right? But the Bible says that the antichrist could be anyone, and who knows what the future has in store for me? This thought begins to make me really fearful. I don't want it to be true, but I fear that sometime in the future I'm going to do something or end up being totally against Christ or whatever for whatever reason, and that I'll end up being revealed as the antichrist. Sometimes, I fear that maybe deep down I do (or will in the future) want to take over the world or be the antichrist, even though I don't. I'll keep having images in my head of me in that position of power and stuff, I don't know what to do. I know this sounds dumb, but it's really worrying me. Y'all are probably going to say this is OCD, but it just seems like such a weird, unnatural, and specific fear/obsession. Do other people experience this? Sorry for posting again so soon, just wanted to get this out there, as weird and horrible as it sounds. I hope I'm not doing something wrong in having these thoughts.

Another thing; before starting this thread, I was trying to reassure myself and I said something like this in my mind: "You know how many people there are/will be in the world? What makes you think you'll be so lucky?" I don't know why that thought came out, but me using the word "lucky" in that thought makes it sound like I somehow want to be the antichrist. Of course I don't want to be the antichrist, which is why I'm posting this, but just the way I worded that thought in my head also kind of scared me. Like why would being the antichrist be "lucky"? What is wrong with me? Why is this happening?

It's sounds like your slightly getting consumed by your thoughts. If you're focusing on "lucky".

But yes I have had thoughts like that also. And while I just repent, it is annoying. I use the repentance technique, where I ask God to steer me away from it and say I'm sorry if I've been like the anti-christ. And that works for me.

Sometimes I think I cause natural disasters cause I can see them and sometimes they appear on the news. But I realize these are just predictions and I'm not causing them. And it's random when they come true and often do not.

But the repentance technique works for me.

Do you deny that Jesus Christ came in the flesh?

If not, then according to the Bible you are not the Antichrist.

I think the Antichrist wouldn’t know he’s the Antichrist but would genuinely believe he’s god. If you’re worried about it, you’re not the Antichrist. Praying for you, friend.

I'm also beginning to be worried about being the false prophet, too. I don't know why I'm getting all these fears of stuff like this. It doesn't make sense. Also, I fear that maybe deep down, I WANT to be the antichrist or rule the world or go against God for some reason. I really hope this isn't true, I really don't want to do that stuff, but I keep getting thoughts and images in my head of me doing horrible stuff like that, and I don't know what to do. I can't stop these thoughts. I don't think it helps that I feel far from God right now. I just don't know what to do.

I think what started all of this was an advertisement for the Amazon Prime Video show "Good Omens". If anyone knows what I'm talking about, that's what triggered it. I've had these thoughts and fears before, but not to this extent.

1 John 4:1-4

1
Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:

3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.


Romans 10:9-10

9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.



According to God's Word and He can't lie
( Numbers 23:19 ; Malachi 3:6 ; Titus 1:2 ; Hebrews 6:18 )


If you confess with your mouth that the Lord Jesus the Christ has came down from Heaven to the Earth, in the flesh. You are of God.

With the HEART man believeth unto righteousness.
and confession is made with your mouth.

Also, what if deep down, I want to be the antichrist? I've had random, horrible thoughts about me wanting to be the antichrist and it kind of scares me.

If you have a fear of being the antichrist likely, you are not the antichrist. Ask God in prayer where the darkness in your life is. He’ll surely guide you to freedom. You have to grow the good seeds of your mind. Let the thought be buried. Set your boundaries, “This is not me! Read this article if the thoughts become more persistent.

The thing is, I have been having really strong doubts about whether Jesus was really the messiah or not, and it's gotten really bad. It's gotten to the point that I've questioned whether Jesus really was of satan or if He was actually satan himself. I've also questioned if the antichrist will be the real messiah. I know these doubts sound bad and like blasphemy, but they've really been a problem for me. I'm afraid I may have come close to denying Jesus was God at some point or another. I don't know if this counts as what you're saying, but yeah.
