• 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.

Hi Caty!

You hope so? Good! the bible says that we are saved by hope. This is not just an opinion, it's written plainly in the bible:
==============================================================================
Rom 8:24 For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? (underline and color are my own).
==============================================================================

So your hope proves that you are saved.

Best Blessings,
"Arph"

well my hope didn't last very long. ive had a terrible day, i dont understand why if God made me knowing i would committ that sin, why did he let me want Him before or feel so guilty and bad afterwards, i just dont understand that. i know that ill go to Hell, I cant stop it now. there are now "testimonies" or anything for people like me, if they are ive never found them.

Caty, there has been a lot of talking and it appears that someone is suffering from the "BUT" Syndrome.

Have you ever read any books of setting yourself free from captivity?

I suggest that you read Neil Anderson's books: "Victory Over Darkness" and "Bondage Breakers", and maybe you might begin to see the "light".

There appears to be a lot of "BUTS" in your thinking.

How can you be helped if you are not listening.

I understand OCD, self-destroying thoughts, and I also understand the workings of the powers of darkness.

Blessings.

Jay i know you say you understnad but you have not had these thoughts out of anger towards God, I don't hate God and I want to love Him and I sometimes dont even understand,,,,but i know the difference in an ocd thought and an intentional thought, and ive been having intentional ones bc im so angry right now, then afterwards i i dont understand why i did that or why im so angry and i start crying.

Caty, sweetheart, don't you realise that we all struggle this this problem? It's the fleshly part of ourselves that makes us keep saying
! There comes a point where you have to accept that it's going to be like that for a good while. That even the most (apparently) seemingly holy and spiritual of us struggle with this every day of our lives. It's just because we're human. And we all have dark secrets that we would much rather God didn't know about. Biut He does so we're stuck with that. You're 16 - I'm 67 and believe me, there are a lot more 'dark things' in my life than there is in yours right now. But I can't undo them so I have to just trust God when He says that when His Son died on the cross, He eradicated it all. Nothing 'just clicked'. I just came to the conclusion that it wasn't worth getting in a bate about it and trust God.

I could get over it if in my thoughts I don't end up saying what the pharasies said. I don;t think ive ever murmered it or said it under my breathe or anything. I just want God to forgive me, I feel selfish though because I understand that he doesn't have too, I just really want Him too. I try to think that I dont understand the logic of God bringing me to Him if He knew that I would do this.

I know & I do believe Jesus died for ALL sin, but I'm not sure if God will forgive mine because of the scripture about the uf-sin. It says that ALL matter of sin and blasphemies will be forgiven, except blaspheming the Holy Spirit. That except gets me.

I'm afraid you don't understand caty's problem and im sure she does not need your kind of "help" so please leave her alone.

Thanks for your advice, but you don't know nothing about my kind of help, nor about me. Have you ever thought that the person you are railing could have been in the same position as Caty, and understands her problem very well? Have you thought of that?

Blessings!

Two questions:

How old are you?

How long have you been suffering these thoughts?

Those thoughts will be controlling, because you need step backwards and begin to heal from when this all began.

Have you dabbled in any other form of practices?

I'm 16

& I've had them (ones that would just pop up) since I was very little. But I would have these "fads" were they would pop in and pop out for like a weeka nd it started happening one day /7 I just looked it up-learned about the unforgiveable sin and its' been down hill from there (about december) But they used to just torture me and pop up but now, I have them whenever I mad (& Im sure they are inetentional) cause I know I'm mad at God(so I cannot blame it all on the devil), but then I feel really guilty and stuff afterwards. But I feel like this wouldn't even be happening if I didn't ahev the ocd.

You have not committed this sin. Period. Your thoughts and logic betray you, stop heeding them. You must get grounded in the Word for this to stop. One scripture does not cancel out 100's, even thousands of others. It just doesn't. Caty, are seeing a psychologist. I believe that there are definitely spiritual factors here, but also natural factors. You need a good Christian therapist who specializes in OCD. Please seek that out. Our God is a good God. His name is Yeshua (Jesus), and He has not condemned you, whether you believe it or not, but you are condemning yourself. Stop. Get help. Are you grounded in a good church. If not, you need to find one. You are too young to just give up. Do not give up.
