Somebody please help me. For the past few months I have been bothered by temptations to take the mark of the beast, mentally (saying to myself or God "I do this" or "I do that") or physically (writing on myself, something... whatever). I know that taking it damns you to hell immediately because it is saying that you are against God and with the antichrist, and that is why it bothers me, because i dont want to do it... it's complicated. Anyway, I'm saved, but since the last year or so I have fallen out of my walk with the Lord... I feel like I can barely talk to Him anymore, and this is the greatest loss of my entire life. lately, evil impulses have come up in me from nowhere that make me want to take the mark, and i almost followed that impulse today. i almost did... i might have, actually... in my mind...the thoughts won't stop, i tried to stop thinking about them, but they won't stop... please help me... am I condemned to hell? I don't want to die spiritually. I could care less about my physical life, i could care less about anything but not being a traitor right now. I do not want to pledge allegiance to the antichrist, but these thoughts won't go away... is it just me? am I evil? am i doomed? is there any hope for me? just truth please... i want hope... i want God... I don't want to go to hell... help me please, i feel like I'm already dead, like i've already lost God and am going to hell forever.what im most worried about is that just now I felt an impulse... i was okay, I had repented of my evil thoughts, but then... i wanted to... i might have slipped in my mind, might have... i dont want to think about it... i just want to die and let this all end...i dont want to lose God!! i don't want to take the mark of the beast! i dont! i dont!! please!! help!!! i dont want to die! i dont want to... i feel so evil... i feel so traitorous... i feel like scumm... my mom was going to set up an appointment with my pastor, but i feel like it might be too late now... please.. help... am i okay? im dying here... don't abandon me, please... i just want God, I'm sorry I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I don't hate God.. I'm not a traitor...

So you want to write 666 on your arm or something?
My advice would be to sit down and seriously think about whether or not you believe in God. If you conclude that you do, then I guess that this 'mark of the beast' thing won't be a problem for you.
And I highly doubt that you'd be 'instantly condemned to Hell' if you actually do worship an all loving and forgiving God.

There will always be hope for you, as long as you pray and believe in God (even if at times it seems like God isn't there to help...because He is). Like Soulwings said, He's rooting for you. All you need to do is realize and accept that. It may seem ridiculous or hard to pray, but it does help.
God bless you, and I'll pray for you. The best of luck to you as well...I hope things get better.

Just hold on to the word of god, and remember that he is merciful, and never leaves you or forsakes you. All your days he walks with you. I pray that the lord gives an awesome peace.
Be blessed in times such as these.

Only time enough for love
You are being harrassed by demonic powers. Tell them to beat it in Jesus name, for greater is He that is in you than he who is in the world. Cast them out and away, then believe it done. Yeah, they can yell back at you, but they are like the shadows of death. No shadow can harm you. Forget this mark of the beast stuff. The mark will be something spiritually discerned, the same as the seal of the Holy Spirit is known only in the spiritual realm.elkano788 said:
If you have sinned, confess them to the Lord, ask for forgiveness, and believe He is faithful and just to cleanse us from all iniquitiy. Then stay away from sin as best you can. Overcome by the word of your testimony and the blood of the lamb. God would not have given you the blood of the lamb or a mouth to confess His Word if He did not intend for you to have it. God will not let you be taken without you willing it yourself so get back on the road like the rest of us and change that testimony to a brighter version. If you have asked and wanted to receive, then you are translated into His kingdom of light and are safe with Him, in spirit, in heavenly places - at the right hand of the Father.
1 John 4:4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Revelation 12:11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
Colossians 1:13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:
Colossians 3:1 ¶ If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.

Hi there!elkano788 said:
raphe is right in his response to you. And, yes, you need prayer. You are being tormented with demonic thoughts, and "you" have to take those thoughts captive. God gave you a sound mind, not a tormented one... so claim that promise also.
Ti 1:7
For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
Is there something in your past that was related to the occult or to any type of spirituality? maybe a psychic or a ouiji board? If so, you have to denounce that activity, and confess the sin.
If you want to talk or pray, send a pm.

Just remember
perfect love casts out fear.
-- John 4:18
It sounds like your mind is extremely busy with horrible thoughts. Sometimes our mind can't comprehend who God is and we constantly try to find God in our thoughts by thinking about Him. We also tell ourselves how bad we are etc. But the best way to know God is in my signature "be still and know that I am God" remember that God is love and a personal relationship with him is beyond the mind.
fear is weak compared to love!
much love!!!!

Looks like it falls on me to point out that this might just be plain old chemical imbalances in your brain. I would recommend seeing a competent counselor who might be able to help you, one way or another. A good counselor will help you cope with what you're feeling.
Will prayer help? Quite possibly. At the same time, when I have a nasty lung infection, I generally try antibiotics.

You need to feel the forgiveness from God, rather than condemnation. It also sounds like you feel angry at God and feel guilty about it. You are also forgiven for your anger. But you need to explore its roots. Don't try to stop the thoughts. That will only re-enforce them with a vengeance. Allow them to pass through you and they will lose their power. Good luck and God bless. I'll pray for you.

Im sorry your going through a tough time right now, but you need to calm down and take a deep breath. God will NEVER abandon you as long as you fight to keep him in your life. (Which you seem to be doing).I notice that your a teenage, and us adults know what a tough time that can be with hormones and temptation all over the show!
I think it would be good to talk your fears over with your paster.It's never to late to get help. Your punishing yourself with your thoughts, when you get them, do as i do as i find this works. Just say, devil be ******! Seek the power from God to give you strenght.The devil tries to latch on to a soul in turmoil, or at a low ebb. He will sap your strength and try and turn you against God. Get as many people that you can to pray for you.I surely will be. Focus on all the positive things about yourself, instead of the negative. God is proud of your battle to follow him and will help you if you pray and seek him. Please PM me if you ever need to talk. God bless.
P.S When you get these thoughts grab your bible and read for a while. Not only will it calm you down, but you will be learning about our Lord at the same time!
Gods peace be with you.
