• 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.

Well that sounds miserable ….

Take some time to read the first three chapters of Ephesians ….let it speak to you as if God is speaking directly to you (Which He is). Those 3 chapters are loaded with the things God has done, and is going to do for you… and example is found in Eph 2:7

Eph 2:7 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.

The ages to come God is going to show YOU… the exceeding riches of HIS grace in His kindness toward YOU through Christ Jesus…

I have no idea of what God’s idea of exceeding riches is….. but it’s got to be fantastic …

If you have trusted in The Messiah (Jesus) for God's free gift of Eternal Life. You are a child of God and need not to worry.

Hi,

I advise you to go to the Bible and take a stand on what is written there. On who God the Father is (Psalm 103 and many other places), on who Christ is (1 Timothy 1:17, the Gospel of John 6:35, and many other places), how He saves us (the Gospel of John 3:14-16, 6:37, the Gospel of Matthew 11:25-29, and many other places).

Meditating on, confessing, praising God for who He is, and who His Son Jesus Christ is, is one way God draws us out of fears about our own salvation. We focus on and enjoy who He is without having to constantly think about ourselves. And another part of the way God draws us to Himself is through Scripture directly related to our salvation, such as the verses above, Hebrews 5:18-19, etc.

You don't need to listen to intrusive thoughts. Listen to God's Word. Unbelief in God's Word is something that we need to repent of, accept God's tender mercy of forgiveness in Christ (1 John 1:8-10), and stand by His Word.

I have OCD i struggle with instrusive thoughts very horrible about Holy Spirit. And i feel unforgetable!!!

Please read Matthew 12 verse 20 about Jesus not destroying the faith of those with weak faith.

Also please read John 6 verses 37 to 40 about Jesus never driving his people away and about him raising them up to present to God.

You are held safe by Jesus.

Your OCD and the intrusive thoughts.
These are not real, they are the result of your illness.
Do not talk or argue or try to ignore them,instead just agree with them. Say or thi k, " Yes that is right. " and move on.

Better to ignore intrusive thoughts and agree with God's Word. If you're a Christian, you can't and don't agree with thoughts that are against God's Word.

John Bunyan had a lot of history with intrusive thoughts. He overcame them as his faith grew in God's Word and in Christ as the Rock of man's salvation. He didn't agree with the thoughts that the tempter threw at him. He overcame them by faith in Christ.

Prayers to you.

Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things.

Hi to Poland!

1) Futurism and literal reading of Revelation (mark of the beast etc.) is a minority view in Christianity, spread in the USA during the 19th century till today. Its really horror-like and people are being scared by various preachers and teachers and by their vivid fantasies for decades, even from childhood. It has made many Christians mentally unstable. Just ignore those preachers/authors and look at other eschatological views instead. Preterism, for example.

2) Salvation is quite a simple thing, but when we have obtrusive thoughts, anxiety or other mental problems, it may become an endless pit of obsession and of circular thoughts.
Its your brain that is ill, realize that and treat that with medical help. Its not a theological issue, its a mental health issue. OCD can be treated, it just takes time and a good, professional psychiatrist.

3) God has given us the spirit of peace, joy and love, if we walk in the light. (Gal 5:22)
If you are being constantly scared by something, its not from God and you can ignore it. (But the OCD will probably not let you to ignore it, thats why you must treat your OCD).

4) Having a thought does not equal to your agreement with it. Brain is designed to give us "random" thoughts to process and evaluate. Its not a sin or your guilt to get a thought. Thats why it cannot take away your salvation. Its a thing "from outside". Just reject it as a nonsense and try to ignore it. As the saying goes "many trains go through a station, but you do not have to get into every one of them".
When you have OCD, your brain is "broken" and is giving you the same thought again and again and it produces anxiety or even a panic attack. So again, treat your OCD first. With a help of a good professional.

Your English is far better than my Polish. You are doing well. My friend, you need to quit worrying about yourself. You need to take God at His word. He has made many promises and all of them apply to you.

Of course you will be troubled by events in Europe. However, God invites us to give our worries and cares to Him. He cares for us and He has the power to take care of us no matter the situation. God has promised never to leave us or forsake us.

When I was a very new Christian, I doubted God's love for me. I despised myself as I knew the kind of person I was. I did not know then what I know now.

God's way of solving our problems is very simple. He kills us. Who would fear Putin if he were dead? He would no longer trouble the world. God has judged us as sinners worthy of death. But He also loves us. He knows that we are our own worst enemy. So He removes the life we were born with and replaces it with new life. He does this by the death and resurrection of Jesus. God includes us in the death of Jesus, so our old life dies. Then God raises us up with Jesus so that we have new life. God is pleased with this new life. You no longer have a problem.

We have an enemy who will keep trying to rob us of the joy of this new life. If we will keep close to Jesus, if we will believe His word, we will begin to believe truth instead of lies. We will get to know Jesus as our Lord, Saviour but also as our faithful friend. You will likely have problems still. But you will have the answer to all your problems - if you will simply trust Him.

Hi from China to Poland,

I am also not a Native English speaker, but foreign langueges can help me understand God's Word in different ways.

From a Jewish perspective, Hebrew (the author of <<Revelation>> Apostle John also thought in Hebrew in his mind) can have no Tense. To us John lived in the past, but his words speak to us presently as if he was living now. To us what John "Sees" is probably about Future. But many things in the 2000 years' history from his to ours have happened. What John "Sees" about the future is just happening in his InSight at that time. As a prophet he understands(sees) Light from the future drives out historic darkness. To God all the time(A-Z,from beginning to end) is one word.

Phantasm you sees maybe is from past, or present, or future, maybe is not from God. It is not as clear as John's sight. It has no power to control you. If it is really from God's instruction as John receives, God will tell you very clearly.

best regards,
Yusuph Hai

I am sorry you are going through this.

Believe what God says not the intrusive thoughts.

For example: you heard this
"You are lost forever",

but Gods Word says in John 10 "My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all ; no one can snatch them out of my Father's hand.

and in John 6:37-39
All those the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away. For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me. And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all those he has given me, but raise them up at the last day.

you heard this:
" I can't forgive you " ,

but God says in 1 John 1:9 “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." God always forgives when we come to him asking forgiveness for sin always!

you heard this
"God doesn't want to know you",

but God says He wants to know you in Jeremiah 31:3 “I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness" and He loves you so much that He rejoices over you with singing, He delights in you! (Zephaniah 3:17), and He paid a big price in sending Jesus to die on a cross for our sins so that He could have a relationship with us, you included! God made a way so you and God could know each other, He loves you very much.

You heard
" It's over to you",
But Gods Word says in Deuteronomy 31:8 It is the LORD who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not leave you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed."

The Bible says God is for us not against us (Rom 8:31) and He will always be with us "Never will I leave you, never will I forsake you". Hebrews 13:5

Matthew 28:20
And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.

Believe what God says because it is the truth.

The voice you heard saying you are lost forever is not from God, but Satan! It's not over for you either, this is Satan's ploy to keep you from the joy of your salvation. Just read your bible regularly, your joy and hope will be refilled.
