Heyya all

Im Fernando and im 15 im a Christian and i suffer from Religous OCD and here is my whole storie,me and my mom live in Pretoria, South Africa and my dad works in Luanda, Angola. Before Angola he has been working in Mozambiouq my parents are married but they are seperated and when they are together the possibility of a fight is always high i dont like the fights, I Pray that they will live peacefully with one another and not fight and i try the best to convince my parents to stop Fighting and with my dads last visit back home in South Africa the fights were kept at a very low and I gave Thanks to Father GOD for preventing big fights and helping me to convince them not to fight, but as time has been moving along my Faith has grown stronger and stronger and the OCD has cuased a few downs in my life especially in the beginning when i never knew what was happening to me and there I was at my saddest now the OCD does still bother me but i know what it is. I try to avoid sin as much as I possibly can. I knew my dad was cheating on my mom and once when I was visiting him well actually twice he was with her and he slept with her the first time it happened which was last year was during my old nature before i truly started living the Christian Life and as my faith grew stronger and stronger i felt bad becuase my dad is busy commiting adultery and i know its wrong and if i tell my mom im afriad my dad will go against me and me and my dad have a very good relationship and we have maby never been in a fight so whenever my mom would ask if he was cheating i knew lieing was a sin so i never said no striaght i just ignored her and said nothing and changed the subject and now one afternoon after school she asked me and she told me he was cheating as people in Angola working with my dad told her and she asked me and it was difficult for me and i told her there becuase i cant lie then after that i spoke to my dad about repenting for his wrongs but not directly telling him about this women and i sent him via email verses from the HOLY BIBLE about adultery and how bad it is but my mom texted him and then he knew that she knew. He texted me and he phoned me the next night and told me that the women was married a few weeks ago and he asked me if i had told her i didnt say no or anything about me but i only mentioned that someone phoned my mom but now i feel bad becuase maby i have lied and i feel this guilt and i dont know if this is the OCD or not but the OCD hasnt made it any easier. I Pray for this matter and that Father GOD will do his will with this matter. His boss also cheats on his wife and im afriad that if i tell her my dad might loose his job and then he wont be the same towards me so the best option that seemed to was just to keep quiet and when someone asked i wouldnt reply so then i wont be guilty of liying. Please understand my situation and please Pray for me and my parent. Please help me or advise me im not sure if what im doing is right or wrong I dont want to sin. I think my parents are going to divorce, Please Help

GOD BLESS:preach:

i will definately pray for you! it must be hard to be put in that situation - i guess you just have to always think - if Jesus were in this situation what would he do? try to stay true to the word and honour both of your parents in so doing. i hope your parents work things out. God bless

This is a tough situation.

I'm not too good with the Bible but I remember a pastor saying something that his niece (I think) got in a car accident. Her family tried to make him lie so his niece would be saved and their families will be saved (no broken relationship). He didn't want to lie, he knew it was wrong. At the end, he told the truth that his niece was at fault. He knew he was going against his family and his relatives wishes but he only followed God's words.

I'll pray for you.

Thank You for all your Prayers and understanding :)Thank You , Yesterday when i wrote my first message I was at my worst i was feeling sad and it hurt inside and the OCD wasnt making it any easier, my friends also came and was concerned about me and asked what was wrong but I didnt want to tell them exactly becuase I was embarrased to tell the whole storie of what my dad did and stuff. I only told my whole story to you guys in my first post. But today I feel so much better the OCD has slowed down and I dont feel so sad and depressed anymore and I know That Father GOD and LORD JESUS CHRIST will help me and my parents through this situation and Guide us I gave thanks to Father GOD for helping me and for all your prayers and for you. Thank You so much GOD BLESS

Blessings for Obedience

If you fully obey the Lord your God and carefully follow all his commands I give you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations on earth. All these blessings will come upon you and accompany you if you obey the Lord your God.

You will be blessed in the city and blessed in the country.
The fruit of your womb will be blessed, and the crops of
your land and the young of your livestock-the calves of your
herds and the lambs of your flocks.

Your basket and your kneading trough will be blessed
You will be blessed when you come in and blessed when
you go out.

The Lord will grant that the enemies who rise up against you will be defeated before you. They will come at your from on direction but flee from you in seven.
The Lord will send a blessing on your barns and on everything you
put your hand to. The Lord your God will bless you in the land he is giving you.
The Lord will establish you as his holy people, as he promised you on oath, if you keep the commands of the Lord your God and walk in his ways. Then all the peoples on earth will see that you are called by the name of the Lord, and they will fear you. The Lord will grant you abundant prosperity,in the fruit of your womb, the young of your livestock and the crops of your ground,in the land he swore to your forefathers to give you.
The Lord will open the heavens, the storehouse of his bounty, to send rain on your land in season and to bless all the work of your hands. You will lend to many nations but will borrow from none. The Lord will make you the head, not the tail. If you pay attention to the commands of the Lord you God that I give you this day and carefully follow them, you will always be at the top, never at the bottom. Do not turn aside from any of the commands I give you today, to the right or to the left, following other gods and serving them.

The Holy Bible
Old Testament
