The devil is trying to tempt me to do and say things that I'm not going to but I knew this would happen ever since I felt my faith getting even stronger. He's telling me to blaspheme Christ and say bad things about people and I'm not going to but I need something to say to him to get lost,.. because just that alone doesn't seem to be working. :(

Not scriptural but a good prayer:

Visit this house, i pray you, Lord:
drive far away from it all the snares of the enemy
May your holy angels stay here and guard me in peace,
and let your blessing be always upon me.
Through Our Lord Jesus Christ,

Amen.

"Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you." James 4:7

"Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world." 1 Peter 5:8-9

"Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak." Matthew 26:41

"No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation, he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it." 1 Corinthians 10:13

"Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil." Ephesians 6:11

"But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire." James 1:14

"For because he himself has suffered when tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted." Hebrews 2:18

"I can do all things through him who strengthens me." Philippians 4:13

"And give no opportunity to the devil." Ephesians 4:27

"So that we would not be outwitted by Satan; for we are not ignorant of his designs." 2 Corinthians 2:11

Hope this helps. Pray on them. Ask God to reveal to you what you are prepared to understand. Trust Him and know He is always with you.

Grace and Peace.

Also I'm really worried that I might have thought something blasphemous towards Jesus but I didn't mean it at all,.. I love Him SO much!!!
For the very reason that you're wanting to fight and rise up against the flesh shows God your heart is in the right place so take courage and have peace. And understand this too sometimes it just our flesh trying to rise up and resist the Kingdom of God but sometimes it's the devil just planting thoughts in our mind. Some people allow the devil to bring them into condemnation for having a wayward thought and sometimes it just Satan himself seeking to inject a wrong thought in our minds. So he injects the thought and tries to make one guilty for having it.

We resist the devil we take authority over wrong thoughts and cast them down, 2 Cor 10:5 but don't stop there....you can't have an empty house or spirit Luke 11:25 .....fill your spirit and mind with what God says....God's thoughts. It's not good enough just to curse the darkness....we've also got to turn on the light and have the light keep coming into us by feeding on God's words everyday.

You know your intent is to not blaspheme and can resist the fear of doing so. Gracebro posted some great Scriptures that can be your sword. You are not fighting for victory but from victory because of what Jesus did.
"But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." I Cor 15:57

It sounds like you are suffering from intrusive thoughts.
Don't argue or debate or try to suppress them, just acknowledge them and carry on.

Remember the spirit living in you knows what you intend and isn't fooled by intrusive thoughts.

So rather than get caught in an endless loop by arguing with them, sped the time in worship, praise and thankfulness.

Do you remember the first instruction the angel gave the women after they discovered the empty tomb? "But go, tell his disciples and Peter, ‘He is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him, just as he told you (Mark 16:7).’” Peter denied the Lord, yet he was mentioned by name as to be told of the resurrection. If God remembered Peter, He has not forgotten you. You are forgiven.
