I have blasphemous thoughts and I really need help

My blasphemous thoughts are getting out of hand. Some of them are so perverted and blasphemous and hateful, and it scares me because I fear I would go to hell. I go to confession every week and Mass every day, plus I also pray the rosary every day. I am pretty sure I had demonic obsession last year, and I had blasphemous thoughts about spitting on the face of God and holy people. Yet this wound of the heart and soul has only continued to grow, and now I have "blasphemous OCD". The worst part is I didn't understand what was happening at the time, so I didn't guard my heart as zealously as I should have, and thus the evil of the demons ended up becoming a part of me, that is, my memory and imagination have been wounded. I seriously don't know what I should with this, because my soul has become very wounded and I seriously struggle with hateful and blasphemous thoughts. I want to be healed, but I feel like I am making minimal effort. I also had visions that were supernatural in nature but I feel like I messed it all up.
I spoke with a priest as of last year. He gave me sound advice, such as daily Mass and daily Rosary and I have followed his advice zealously. He told me that this is a spiritual battle and that I have to win it, as in demonic oppression, at least that's what I gathered from our meeting. Right now I am feeling discouraged because while I feel like I am sometimes making progress and then faltering. I often have a vision of the Lord Jesus armwrestling with the devil, and when I do something virtuous, I see the Lord overpowering the devil, and when I am thinking something bad, I see the evil one gaining some power. I secretely dream of becoming a hero, but I feel so "not-hero-like" right now... I also believed I was targeted by people who hate me in a spiritual attack, but I don't have any evidence. This came to me in visions from the Lord.
I would need some encouragement, because right now I feel like I am not making any progress. I would appreciate the words of those who have overcome evil thoughts. I sometimes feel like the worst person in the world because of my hateful thoughts. Has anyone gone through this exact thing and emerged victorious? I would love to hear your thoughts.
Please, if you can, pray for me.

It can happen like in the bible, that an evil spirit torments people, and Jesus can get us free from them.
I had 'hammering intrusive thoghts' that perturbed me and tormented me, it was an spirit and went away with deliverance.

You named it yourself when you said OCD. OCD is a compulsion which has not rational basis. When we reason it out we see its irrationality. That is cognitive behavioural therapy in seeing things from outside yourself and putting them into perspective.

Then there is the exposure therapy of changing the embodiment of that compulsive thinking by trying the opposite and gradually emboying reality for what it is and not what you imagine or rather are compelled to think.

These cognitive disorders in thinking are usually anxiety based. Extreme anxiety embodied. Even stress, traumatic stress syndrome which can come out in all sorts of ways and even physical reactions. Its the minds way of coping or actually not coping and it is manifested in disordered ways.

You are not actually in a position to consciously understand your own thought processes from A to B. So your not knowingly making the steps to consciously defy God or blaspheme. Because the compulsive thought comes from nowhere so to speak. It has no rational basis.

Its more likely that satan wants you to think that you are commiting a grave sin so that this compounds your dilemma. Which is exactly what OCD is whether you call it satan or psychology. Its the unreal thoughts that condemn you because your already in a state of self condemnation and perspective taking.

Sometimes and I believe often God wants us to get help from others. To put things in proper perspective. God is also a God of sanity and order. But its not always via a miracle transformation. We need help especially in this day and age. That may be some sort of therapy. Which is really wise councelling. But sharing your experience is a start.

Doctors call evil spirits 'disorders' nowadays. Probably would lose the license and called crazy if they start speaking of God.

They don't need to speak of God. They just need to help sort out the thinking. The real from the unreal. In fact I did a bit of this when I said that we know that these compulsive thoughts can come from nowhere. So there is no thought process that is intending to consciously choose those thoughts.

Its a compulsion like Terrets where a person can compulsively shout out swear words or slap someones face. Except OCD is in the head with compulsive thoughts. There is even some neurological basis with brain chemical imbalances involved.

Thats why treatment and therapy can help. But ultimately the brain is plastic to a degree and you can rewire it by cognitive therapy. Like a muscle you can excercise the thoughts into more positive or less compulsive. More in line with reality. The more you do the more it will become real.

They medicate and try to tame evil spirits.... Jesus half of his ministry was to deal with those, today is worse since wickedness would increase and there is exposure to dangerous spiritual things.

Like i said before, even if i don't get believed, i had for years 'ocd instrusive thoughts' when the evil spirit went away those stopped completely and never came back.

Do what I do when you have these thought;

Ask Jesus to be your shield against Satan's poisonous darts this works a treat for me when ever I get them as I reckon we all have them from time to time.

Yes in a way its an evil spirit because ultimately it has a spiritual basis and like most things such as the conflicts in politics or ideologies are fundementally a spiritual battle over humans being their own gods and God who is above.

For any therapy or treatment to ultimately work if we don't also address the spiritual then we will not be fully healed. It is the spiritual that will give us the strength and transform us into a new person and not the physical or mental treatments that will only fix the physical body and mind and not the spirit is the most important.

God is quite capable of healing someone and is the greatest therapist and physician in this world.

No matter how scary or mean or nasty or cruel or shameful or stubborn something is in us . . . Jesus can deal with it, get rid of it, and heal us of it.

What matters is not only fearing hell, but appreciate how you know this is wrong. Be encouraged that you know it is wrong and God cares for us so He does desire to save you and free you and bring us together into His way of loving.

"Test all things; hold fast what is good." (1 Thessalonians 5:21)

Trust Jesus. Do not depend on yourself and what you can get your own self to do. But depend on God to bring us into trusting Jesus and loving the way our Father desires. See what God's word says to do.

So, be glad you know this is not right. Even if Satan has you spitting on someone who is fake and not right, this is wrong, too. God wants us to be humble and caring about even wrong people.

We need to be with God all the time. Following schedules of part-time things could be trying to "schedule God".

Be careful about thinking you can do your own guarding. You are not almighty, not fast enough.

We need how You our God and Father are able.

I would be careful about thinking it depends on you.

We can bless those who curse us.

So, trust God to stop that hate stuff, and pray for them. Think of how they could be in a major amount of trouble like you can be. And care about them and pray God's blessing and forgiveness to them.

Forgiving works. Jesus says to us >

"'And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses.'" (Mark 11:25)

So, if God gives us power and authority to forgive, you can be sure God wants to forgive you.

Our thinking-
God will help us. According to Scripture, our part is to take every thought captive -"casting down imaginations and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ," (II Cor 10:5).

That means when we have thoughts that are not in line with Scripture, we immediately focus on God and Scripture, the truth, such as
"...I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee." (Heb 13:5)
"The Lord is near to all who call upon Him, to all who call upon Him sincerely and in truth." (Psa 145:19)
"Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?" (I Cor 3:16).

Encourage you to locate some favorite Scriptures and SAY them when needed.. Repeat this process as neccessary.

Praying per your request.

I'm so sorry that you are struggling with this. There are a lot of resources to help. Online coaching is available at Scrupulosity.com: Faith-based Solutions for Religious OCD - Scrupulosity.com, and there are also a lot of good blog articles there, including articles about blasphemous thoughts. There are also a lot of resources about scrupulosity at OCD and Scrupulosity - ACCFS and Mark DeJesus. I have also found the following books to be helpful... Breaking Free of OCD: My Battle With Mental Pain and How God Rescued Me by Jeff Wells, and Strivings Within - The OCD Christian: Overcoming Doubt in the Storm of Anxiety by Mitzi VanCleve. Also there is a private Facebook support group at Christianity and Anxiety Disorders.
