• 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.

Supplanter what scares me is that while dealing with OCD i have said things against the holy ghost ..it just happened i am afraid that i really have committed it

You haven't. This sin is a way of life and not a one time occurrence because it is linked to the heart. No one who is a Christian could commit this sin.

to me its just so hard for me to believe that God is that forgiving. i had a preacher tell me this one time what the uf-sin was and then he looked at me with this look in his eye and "said haven't done ANYTHING like that...have you!" and scares me. Ive also heard people say that even if you come to Jesus and ask for forgiveness that he would not forgive you if you've dont this. & whemevr you all tell me these things that make me feel better then i think about what they've said.

Hi Caty!

You definitely need a good doctor who specializes in OCD to prescibe some correct meds for you. Just coming to this website for some relief by obsessively checking things while not listening to anyone other than yourself, won't, and hasn't, worked at all. Time to take another approach. Meds Caty, MEDS!

Your coming to this website is just another "Checking ritual." Aren't you tired enough of this sickness by now to seek some professional help!

If you don't, you will eventually wear all your friends and family out. And sadly, if they haven't already, they will completely lose interest in helping you. So don't let that happen! GET SOME PROFESSIONAL HELP! PLEEEEASE!

You have to understand that God's ways are not our ways and His thoughts are not our thoughts. His ways are higher than our ways and higher than our thoughts. I will say unreservedly that that preacher had no clue what he was talking about and apparently had very little understanding of God's forgiveness. None of us would ever forgive the way that God does, that is one reason why we shouldn't try to force our own ideas onto God.

Believe me, no one is getting tired of you. We all want the best for you and are hoping you can overcome this. I think you're perhaps just imagining having muttered under your breath and such as part of your OCD. With the disorder, you latch onto certain things and this is just one of them..

Boy Arph, that is what Cathy has been told, but the merry-go-round goes round and round.

By the way, meds are not always the answer, there is a ministry in the Body of Christ called the HEALING Ministry.

Blessings.

No Cathy, not getting tired of you, but you are not going to conquer and overcome your sufferings, until you start searching for real help from the healing ministry.

Your problem isn't just physical and emotional!

Blessings.

Im not speaking against healing ministry in fact thats wonderful and God can use it to heal anyone ,,,

But for you to say that Caty IS NOT going to conquer or overcome her sufferings without it ,, is really not for you to say .

Thats an opinion based on your belief but it doesnt mean that its factual .

Dont overlook the fact that sometimes God uses Doctors to bring about healing not in every one ... For example i have OCD but dont take meds because of side effects and suicide risk but thats me ... But i know a Christian who was healed through medical treatment and she is doing great today .. So lets pray God leads Caty into what is best for her healing and lets not try to determine that for her ,eh ?..

My opinion is also from experience, and Cathy needs help from a good GOD-anointed counsellor. And through good GOD-anointed counselling she will learn how to conquer and overcome.

Blessings.

But again you are speaking about yourself and not Caty You are assuming that her problem WILL be solved by a healing ministry ..Frankly i wish that were known to be true because i would seek out one myself ...

I didnt mention this before but i think its worth mentioning ..Some ministrys make people with mental illness suffer more ..because they attribute all of it to the devil or to some past sins that the Christian has committed ..and in many cases the real problem is with their bodies not their souls ,,,

thank you, so you dont think that God would allow someone who is unforgiveble to come to Jesus??

God would not have it in someone who is unforgivable to want to come to Jesus. You are safe, for God has it in you to come to himself through Jesus. It is a wonderful day, Cathy. So wonderful that God has put into your heart a desire to come to Jesus Christ. You are saved!

You are right for those who know him he heals all But it doesnt all ways happen when we want it or how we want it and for millions upon millions it NEVER happens in this life at all .. To deny that is to deny the obvious
It is actually a crime to tell someone that if they have enough Faith or that if they are as close to God as they should be that THEY WILL BE HEALED in the hear and now ... Because it might not happen . Now If Jesus is God he can heal Caty or you and I in less than a second ,, and that isn't the issue the issue is NO ONE and I repeat NO ONE should tell Caty that if she does this or that That She will be healed .. because really that is Gods call to make ..anyway i have made my point and im getting off the subject ..

Good teaching is all that is lacking in those who do not receive their healing.

It is not a crime to tell someone they lack faith--Jesus did it a lot. If my leaders told me I lacked faith for something I should be believing for, then I would take stock of myself and consider it sound observation, rather than instantly become defensive and begin accusing them of all sorts.

Saying something might not happen is doubt talking.

Caty only needs to believe that she will be healed by her Father who promises to heal all her diseases...and her doubt. He has made His call already...through the blood of His Son, Jesus.

Nothing is too hard for God...not even OCD.

I just don't know how you all can be so sure that I'm not unforgiveable. I try to think that and then this huge fear comes over me.

Your fear comes from the powers of darkness, and the powers of darkness is telling you that you are unforgiveable.

When you confess and repent any sin, such as your dabbling in astrology, and then ask our Lord Jesus Christ for forgiveness, then you are immediately forgiven by HIM, and HE remembers no more.

Therefore, if after you pray your confessional and repented prayer to our Lord Jesus Christ, then the powers of darkness has no more power over you through that sin.

Also, you need to understand that love is also a conqueror of things.

HIS WORD says that you love others the same as you love yourself. So do you love yourself, Caty?

The powers of darkness is the on who is badgering and berating you, because you are a Child of God, and you can tell the enemy to get in Jesus' Name.

Blessings.

We are sure because we understand the Word of God and we are filled with the Holy Spirit, and we also know how the enemy operates in the lives of believers.
