I hope that the fact I'm worried about what I thought I said is proof that I didn't commit that sin. I would never say anything wrong on purpose and enjoy it and not be nervous about it. I still wanna learn more in the Bible. I don't have a hardened heart and I don't hate.
I answered the question some time ago. Apparently, you had have an incorrect answer that you want to believe. That is your problem not mine. End of discussion between you and me.
I also wasn't committing blasphemy on purpose that's for sure.There was something I said last Wednesday that I'm concerned about. I shouldn't be worried about it either but if I did say anything bad it was a mistake. It was the same thing as the other one on Feb 11 where I said 2 sentences but it sounded like 1.
A winning reply, Wes.I have heard many Christians say that sometime during their life they have worried they might have committed the unpardonable sin. It seems to be a common trick of the enemy. One friend said that as a young girl she was tormented with the fear of being gulity of this sin for several months. She finally went to her pastor and confided in him. He told her that the fact that she was so worried and troubled was evidence she had not committed such a sin. The fact that she was tormented about the even the possibility showed she had reverence for the Holy Spirit. Those words comforted her and her fears vanished forever.
I am curious why you think just thinking something will also get you in trouble?
Even unto salvation it takes our heart and our mouth to confess.
I read a good passage in a Charles Spurgeon sermon about anyone who is afraid that they have committed the unforgiveable sin.Hello Everyone,
I know you guys get these types of stories all the time but I wanna tell mine too cause everyday now I get concerned of what I thought I said. In January i was getting blasphemous thoughts and I was filled with anxiety from them that everyday I would be so scared from those thoughts. I kept praying to God to help me and I believe he did help me overcome these thoughts. I didn't believe the blasphemous thoughts at all. Those thoughts just frightened me.
I got better around the end of January. I kept researching on the computer about the unforgivable sin and that scared me to. February came and the thoughts were on and off now and I wasn't nervous about them as much as when i first got them. It was after I read about the unpardonable sin when these thoughts came. I was happy to know that I learned I didn't commit that sin. I was so relieved to know that. Then when February came everything was good until Feb. 11 when I said something that gave me anxiety for a week. I was so happy that I was talking good about God, Jesus, and The Holy Spirit. I then got back to talking about the blasphemous thoughts after that. I'm scared to type the sentence I said because I don't know if typing it is a sin too. I was talking about how the devil put all those blasphemous thoughts in my head. I got so scared after I said that because the last sentence before I said that I was talking about how I love the Holy Spirit and then I said "THAT" sentence afterwards.
It was not my intention to commit any sort of blasphemy. I said the sentences separate, They weren't in the same sentence. I don't know if I have OCD but I was so scared that I wasn't eating right at times, like all that anxiety was so bad it was hard to swallow food at times. I got better though after a week. Then last Wednesday I found out that I would have to knowingly, deliberately, and mean it to commit the sin but I absolutely did not mean to commit any sort of blasphemy like I said. Then last Wednesday while I reading on some websites about this sin, I was rebuking the devil. You know telling him to go away cause for the past month I don't know if I was in spiritual warfare or OCD and i still have no idea yet. I then said that I belong to God and that I love Jesus and the Holy Spirit. I don't remember everything that I said but after I said that I was talking to myself again. AND again I said another sentence that sounded wrong but I didn't mean for it to sound wrong. I'm still bothered by it and concerned. By the way I still love God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. I pray daily now and I repented about 9 times since Feb 12. I ask God for forgiveness everyday now but I still get anxiety at times and I start to get sad. It's like Every time I get better, something worse comes up and I keep suffering.
The blasphemous thoughts are back but I don't believe them and I say the opposite of the thoughts out of my mouth. I'm a true Christian and I believe in God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. I still get nervous and concerned at times. I try to calm down by looking at Bible verses and saying ones out loud like John 3:16, Romans 8:1, 1 John 1:9, and more. I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior and confessed with my mouth that Jesus is Lord multiple times and I believe with all my heart that God raised him from the dead on the third day. I think about the unforgivable sin everyday and get nervous thinking I committed it but I know I didn't. I will always keep the commandments and do the best i possibly can because I love God and Jesus. I don't wanna go to hell. This one time I opened up the Bible and it brought me to John 3:16 and that felt good to see. I keep reading that if I'm worried about this sin then I haven't committed it. My feelings are up and down. When there up I think of what I said and the anxiety builds up again. I keep asking God for forgiveness and I know I'm forgiven. I believe I'm in spiritual warfare or OCD. I'm not so sure but I would think Spiritual Warfare. I feel better while typing this cause I know there are so many kind and loving people that know my pain. I'm sure most of you were in the same situation I'm in now or were in it. I will never commit blasphemy on purpose. After those 2 incidents I was so scared. I'm being EXTRA careful what I say out of my mouth.
There are sometimes that when I wake up in the morning I get anxiety sometimes but it goes away quickly and then it's on and off during the day cause I just can't forget about those sentences I said. I love the Holy Spirit and i know he's my helper. I try to be the nicest boy that I could possibly be. I feel like I got the fruits of the Spirit. I'm a new creation and i feel the same as i was back then before all this started. It's just all these Blasphemous Thoughts and the memories of Feb 11 and Feb 20 still scare me. Whatever happened on Feb 11 does not scare me as much anymore cause i know God knows my heart very well. I wasn't into all this before 2014 Then I said now look at me, I listen to Christian Music, read Bible verses, getting closer to God, etc. I'm trying to learn new things everyday. I don't have a hardened heart towards anyone. I'm still getting blasphemous Thoughts from time to time but they don't bother me much anymore like back in January. I'm also getting doubts that i don't want as well that bother me. I trust that God knows my heart very well and knows that if i did say anything bad that i didn't mean it. I'm getting better though each day but i still get nervousness in my stomach at times.
Anyway that's my story and I thank to all of you to take the time to read it and i hope you all enjoyed it and i'll be glad to hear from all of you.
God loves you very much
I'm still worried about what i said on Feb. 20. I'm getting better each day but i still wake up in the morning's with a little anxiety and this feeling in my stomach. I'm mad that i said "THAT" instead of "THE". My feelings are up and down all the time. I feel good and then all the sudden i think about what i said on Feb. 20 and my feelings go down and i get a little anxiety.
If you recoil in horror at this notion that you were blaspheming against God, you clearly don't understand that such thoughts - in the case of Tourette's, weird actions - come from outside you. But just supposing that you vacillated between loving God very deeply, at one moment, and then cursing or insulting him the next, do you think that God doesn't realise that you are being tormented by external forces ? Scripture tells us that we are not fighting against flesh and blood, but against Principalities and Powers - the fallen angels, the demons, the Accuser's henchmen. But they are around us all the time as are the good angels and always have been throughout our life - so there's no reason to get fearful about it.
St John Vianny and the saints, generally - not least the women, who really go overboard and become stigmatists and the like - with a few disparaging words, just shrugged off such diabolical attacks, some physical, turned over and went back to sleep. Your vulnerability would surely make God love you more, and he would give zero attention, never mind credence, to any crazy words introduced into your mind. Think of that, next time you feel a knot in your stomach.
trust in God. don't focus on these thoughts, replace them, have a go to sentence to think instead, and forget about the thoughts that pop up in your head. feed good thoughts, when those thoughts come up, just start thanking God for His goodness, and that He has given you the mind of Christ. Don't get too concerned about it, remind yourself that you are in God's hands, and that He is able to deliver you. think instead of His blessings. trust. perfect love casts out fear. and know that you did not commit this sin, so stop letting it come back to your mind, remember that you have repented of it, and let it go, do not harbor that thought. when the enemy tries to bring up that accusatory voice, don't heed it, just remember that you repented, and that it is forgiven, you are not cut off from God, very good proof that you did not do it. if you started hating God, and not loving anyone, and have nothing good whatsoever, and no peace or anything, and don't care about God, then you might want to start worrying, but that is not you, so stop allowing yourself to get stuck in this rut. know that you did not do it, and allow yourself to enter into the peace and assurance of God. TRUST TRUST TRUST GOD. put all your trust in Him.I thought i had just a little bit of OCD myself and reading some of other people's threads on this. It's like every single day i just have anxiety over what i said.
I will always trust God and thanks for the reply. I still pray every night and try my best everyday. I'm still worried though but I'm trying to stop but the memories of what I said Feb 20 or Feb 21 keep coming up. If I did say anything wrong I didn't mean it but I will always trust in God that he knows my heart more than i do. The thoughts come from time to time but I'm trying my best.trust in God. don't focus on these thoughts, replace them, have a go to sentence to think instead, and forget about the thoughts that pop up in your head. feed good thoughts, when those thoughts come up, just start thanking God for His goodness, and that He has given you the mind of Christ.
