I'm currently struggling with blasphemous thoughts and this is the 3rd time it's happening within a year. I've been struggling for 3 weeks now and I've did two confessions, yet though it's calmed down a bit, demons still attack me, because I can always tell when they start to attack me. Currently they won't let me go with just 1 confession like always, I still feel the need of confession because it does miracles. I am able to withstand those thoughts on my own thanks to the confession, yet those thoughts become more powerful in my sleep, and whenever they cross my mind, it causes fear and shock trough my whole body unable to calm down for a long period of time. I've lost my power to pray, it did come back from time to time to fight back, if I say the Jesus Prayer those thoughts come to stop me from thinking and saying it. I've even dreamed of having no salvation, 2 times, the second one I can't remember. Before the confessions I came to a breaking point where I thought I was going mentally insane, and couldn't stand the church service, to be more correct something else inside of me couldn't stand it, I wanted to throw up something disgusting inside of me and time didn't move. Ever since I've rejected the devil this keeps happening, from wanting to turn over to him, to suicidal thoughts and now these blasphemous thoughts that still persist and I just want them out of my head because it's tormenting me. Everything was fine before this, I don't why it's happened again, sure we all sin even I, but I don't understand why God let's demons have power over and temptations since they can't touch you without God's allowance. This is the second time I'm having doubts of NO salvation at all, because I didn't ask for this in the first place, nor have I imagined my life like this when I was kid, I'm begining to believe that I was predetermined for Hell. I've prayed to God never to leave me, even at my death bed, yet God is nowhere now. I sure hope this is something from my Cross that I carry for my salvation, otherwise I don't see the point of living if I'm predetermined to Hell.
