Afraid again

[DeerGlow]

I saw a video of this woman's healing, but I didn't watch the whole thing the first time. Because of the way everyone was dressed, I thought it was a Hindu fake healing thing. When I watched the full video it was Christian faith healing! I know one common belief of the unpardonable sin is attributing God's miracles to the devil or vice versa. It scares me so much. The Charismatics and Pentecostals scare me too. Not that I think all Charismatics/Pentecostals are fake, I'm just afraid if I was around any of them I would have terrible thoughts and get very close or commit that sin.

Edit: I'm still struggling a lot with impulsive thoughts. I feel like God is far away right now. I worry I might not be saved. I worry I might not be able to be saved. I am afraid my soul is condemned and God hates me or doesn't want me to be saved.

I've been where you are. First off all, the unforgivable sin is NOT accidentally attributing a miracle from God to the Devil. The Word tells us to test every spirit, so to be skeptical is actually a good thing. What the Pharisees were doing, was refusing to believe in Christ, and attributed His powers to the Devil, so that they didn't have to follow Him and His commandments. That is NOT what you are doing. Secondly, it's not vice versa. Accidentally believing in a false miracle from Satan as something from God, is not the unforgivable sin. It's a sin, but not bigger than other sins. As long as you repent, you're good.

Impulsive thoughts are based on fear. It's of the flesh, and it could also be demonic. I've been struggling with that since I became a Christian, and I still do, although its better now. You have to calm down and try to stay focused on Christ. Remember this: you are doing your best to please and follow Him, so when you mess up, that hasn't been a willful rejection of Christ. Pray any time you are afraid. Ask God to increase your discernment on these matters, and don't feel bad when you miss the mark. Do NOT listen to the voices of condemnation! They are all the lies of Satan. As long as you believe in and follow Christ, you are saved.

 

[Tolworth John]

The unpardonable sin is rejecting Jesus. If one does not accept Jesus as ones saviour there is no way that ones sins can be forgiven.

May I suggest two things.
Talk to your minister about your fears.
and
If you act on impulsive thoughts, seek medical help.

Whatever is not of God is sin. So in that sense, yes it's "all" demonic if it isn't from God and His loving kindness.

But to dwell upon this fear only feeds it. Use your mind to praise and worship God... when anxiety builds tell it to go away because "Perfect Love casts out fear". That isn't US, that isn't our love...but that is GOD and HIS LOVE that is perfect and by focussing upon that, Him, His love, the fear leaves.

"What can man do unto me?" Nothing without God's caring for us.... if heaven is your eternal home... so make your salvation sure, and don't worry about other people who show their religion in other ways.... focus upon God and how He wants YOU to worship him.
