It was satan but now it's me.

[pkhaney]

what do you do when you know it started out as satan tormenting your mind but thru your sickness to it it became you cursing god. And I do mean literally cursing God. I've tried every imagineable way to overcome stop cursing God in my mind but nothing has worked. Satan doesn't even seem real to me. I don't know what to do. I've tried using the fear of God against my thoughts but it only last a couple of weeks then I"m back to giving into the thougths. At least almost all of the people on here are trying to live for God, they care about their thoughts, Im passed all that have no heart for God, I honestly feel doomed

I've been through some similar things, so I know how bad it can be.

I know that you feel horrible. You feel bad, guilty, unforgivable. Just know that God is a God that forgives, no matter what, to those who seek forgiveness. Our God loves us so much that He gave His only Son to die for us.... So why would He decide something is so bad, something that you didn't even choose, something the enemy has put in your head, that He wouldn't forgive you? Because that's a pretty big sacrifice.. Even if it is you cursing God because of your sickness and what you are going through, wondering why you have to go through this, He will still forgive. He loves you throughout this, and understands. He knows you better than you know yourself.

And let me tell you, when you accept Christ, you become an enemy of the devil. He will do whatever it takes to get you away from God. He uses dirty tricks, exploits your weaknesses. So, I say that you just ignore the thoughts. I know it's extremely hard. Like I said, I went through similar things. When you feel like your salvation is at risk, it can be kinda hard. But your salvation is not at risk. You're scared, a natural reaction for any Christian. Just know that it's all deception. It's not you. The more you ignore them, the less impact they have on you, the easier it becomes to brush them off, and the less hold the enemy has on you. And the closer you get to God.

I hope this helps you. Praying that you will make it through this....

Not caring about the thoughts is a good place to be - that should be what you aim for. You should be able to say "Oh - another blasphemous thought! So what?" and then get on with life.

You still care about these thoughts very much, and this is obvious - you keep on coming here worried and posting! Maybe you don't feel like you you care. But if you really didn't care, why would you come on here asking for advice?

You are also doing exactly the wrong thing about these thoughts. You are fighting them, trying to force them from your mind - the most counter-productive solution for OCD that there is! You see, the more that you worry about and focus on these thoughts, the more that you give them importance in your mind. The more you importance you give them, the more entrenched become the brain pathways which say "Oh no! We have a problem!"

The only solution is to ignore them. Don't pay them any attention. They will carry on roaring away for some time, and then they will go. You will become habituated to them; and eventually - because your brain is no longer attching any worth to them, they will disappear. I know that this is very unsatisfying advice for you, because you want the thoughts to just go. But they won't (almost certainly) unless you stop paying them attention.

I had really bad blasphemous thoughts for a period, so I know how unpleasant it seems to you to do as I have said. But I did it anyway, and it was the best thing I could do for myself. I can't remember how long they took to stop, because it just happened that one day, I realised "Hey - I'm not getting blasphemous thoughts anymore!" Remember - once you are ignoring them, once you don't care about them anymore, then they go.

Now one thing - try not to attribute these thoughts to Satan. They are caused by OCD, a disease, a mental disorder. I don't believe OCD to be caused by the devil any more than I believe cancer to be; and, as I see it, nor should you. You can't treat Satan using medecines and therapy; you can treat OCD in this way (and very successfully, too). So on that note; have you had any treatment yet - have you been to a therapist, or taken medecines? Have you done Exposure and Response Prevention?

May the Almighty loving God cleanse all these impure thoughts from your mind, in Jesus name AMEN.

 

[pkhaney]

Thanks to al of you for your advice. I don't think you understand the magnitue of thiese thoughts and that they have become sin to me, not just thoughts. I can't ignore them becasue my mind repeats them all day long. No matter how hard I try not to pay attention to them and just let them be I cant do it. I no longer have a relationship with God I lost that when i began cursing God myself not just thoughts but cursing him myself. Why do I care? Not because I feel I love God and don't want to curse him but becasue I'm afriad of everything I know I've done in my mind. I don't even have a prayer life.

 

[zingiber]

We understand the magnitude of the thoughts - we have had them. Or at least I have! For me the thoughts were near constant. I didn't know how I could get out, and I never, ever thought that some day I might be free from them, as I now am!

Believe me, there is hope for you yet.

 

[RuthD]

You can change your thoughts. Keep practicing please. When you have these thoughts try to think of a good thing to say to God and keep doing that. Practice will make your mind start changing these negative thoughts to positive thoughts. I am praying for you. God bless you.

amen, say that.

it's not you. the enemy would love for you to believe it is. & just so cf won't get it twisted, i didnt say the enemy was the root of all this, but in reality, isn't satan the root of any evil. dont believe them. press on anyway. in Jesus name you will overcome. you know why? because Jesus wouldnt start nothing HE couldnt finish. when you accepted Him as your savior, He accepted you. He made a vow to protect you through it all, to carry you through your weakness, to deliver you, to guide you, to love you in and out of faults, sickeness, etch. we serve a compassionate God. you are okay in His arm. believe it and speak it over your life, walk it. if a thought curses God, He can feel the ache in your heart, but BELIEVE He knows your heart and keep pressing on. love conquers all,

Never give up! God created you He understands,

As christians we are always faced with challenges, we strugle with different things others is pornography,homosexuality,impure thoughts,gossiping or whatever it may be. we try so much not to fall but at times we find ourselves back in, there is no christian withouth a challenge.

personally av gone through challenges with sin i strugled to come out but after some little while i would find myself back in, i felt horrible i would pray every day and say 'God you are the potter and i am the clay please mould me' but the strugle continued, i sort of gave in to the voice in my head that constantly told me that God already knows i would go to hell and thats why He is not bothering with me(lies from hell), i fell deep in to sin and did things i never imagined i could do, i cried evrytime coz i knew what i was doing was wrong though i still went on i hated myself.

i testify that God is faithful, He will never leave you, He picked me up and dusted me in my horrible nature He showed me love and reminded me of His grace, yes am not yet there but av decided i will not give up no matter what because i know that He is faithful.

I pray in the name of Jesus that you will be freed from all impure thoughts and fear and that you may find your path again. the road that leads to heaven is narrow, its filled with challenges but we have chosen it for it leads to light.hold on, God is with you every step of the way, just have faith, confess positive things to your mind, personally i believe as long as i have breath in me its a chance, an opportunity a blessing God has given me so if am down i stand again coz He still believes in me.

You have the Grace of God in you ,you can overcome this.

I agree with mostly everyone else. We all deal with these painful scary paralyzing thoughts. But God is bigger and better. The enemy wants you to give up. Keep on searching for God he will come through. Its not like your the only person to go through this and because of that you can trust in God to help you. Psalm 37:5 - Commit your way to Jehovah (LORD) Trust also in him and he shall bring it to pass.

 

[OCDS]

Just a quick note: You mentioned "fear of God" remember, its reverence. Do not literally be afraid of God, God is love and fear is not suitable to his nature read this:1 John 4:18

 

[pkhaney]

You all don't understand how deep this is. I've been fighting this issue for over five years and the thoughts just repeat themselves in my mind with my tongue moving. it's me cursing God not satan but me. I"m sick to death over this. I can't pray because my mind does nothing but curse God. Years ago when this started I had a demon in me and I had a preacher pray for me I got over this for a bit but fell right back into it and have been into for over four years. No matter how hard I try I can't seem to stop cursing him. Fear no longer works, love doesn't work. I won't go to church because the fear I dealt with in this sin was so deep inside of me that I would leave and cry and shake all over on my way home and be scared out of my mind. I lost all functioning in my life I began to think of nothing else but the blasphemous thoughts all day long non stop. the only peace I have is sleep I try and sleep all the time all day and all night. I take tons of sleeping pills to make me sleep. I am seeing a psychiatrist and taking ocd meds also. I've seen therapist and christian therapist and also went thru 6 months of extensive ocd exposure and response therapy which did me no good. I began to drink daily because it help to quiet my mind and also would put me to sleep. I don't know what to do anymore I feel like inside of I have changed into a even worse person who no long cares in her heart that she is cursing God. She is only afraid, just scared. No remorse or repentance for the sin just the consequences of the sin and what happened to me before when I had demons in me. I'm afriad the demons are going to come back God is going to put them back in me because of my sin of cursing him. I no longer seem to love god in my mind or care about Jesus or heaven or love people or have a desire to do the right thing in my mind of out of my mind. The thougths are so tempting in mind, emotions, and feelings and I just give into them. They are like a stuck record in my mind with my tonque movign just cursing God all day long. They are brainwashing my mind against God. I think my mind is like the bible says, a stronghold in this area and I can't seem to break even though I have tried like crazy. I've even repeated good thoughts in my mind over and over and over and over all day 24 hours to try and brainwash my mind back to where it should be only to fail and give in again to the thougths. I wish that death would give me a sweet release as if there was no hell I would kill myself as it's the only thing I know I can do to stop the thougths of cursing him. I would rather die than to continue living my life the way it is. I'm miserable beyond belief everyday of my life with no release.

Hun that might even be Tourette's from the way it sounds. I have OCD, Tourette's and ADHD. Im 15 and have to deal with it all. I have the compulsive thoughts about weird stuff too. The thing is YOU have a SPECIAL connection with God that NO one else has. Its the custom package. God knows and understands what is in your heart. And if you find yourself thinking the unwanted thoughts and then think something like I don't mean it, Im sorry stuff like that, well God knows. He understands you. He knows that youre saying it because of the disorder. Now thats not a free pass, like all parts of OCD you should remember to take your medication and work on the steps you should have been taught, but my point is God understands you and has mercy in these situations. So don't be too upset or devastated. And about the Satin part, next time it happens just laugh and say "hey, yeah I may have said it because of my OCD, but MY God loves me and understands me!"

Hope I helped. Good luck!! And treasure your unique connection to God!!

WOW I'm in shock at the bad advice you got from Zingiber above. It's the worst advice he could give you. WHAT YOU SHOULD NEVER DO IS IGNORE THESE THOUGHTS LIKE HE ADVISED because the bible specifically states to cast down EVERY THOUGHT and that we should bring EVERY THOUGHT unto the subjection of Chris (2 Corinthians 10:5) so that is the WORST advice he could give you. And then he talks about OCD and to try not to attribute these thoughts to Satan and that it's a mental disorder. Listen OCD is a demon spirit that must be casted out along with those evil thoughts your having in the name of Christ.

Now its 2019 nine years later and I hope everything is well with you and that your alive and have overcome those evil thoughts by casting them out. Now I came to this topic because just recently I too started having cursings in my mind. I don't know where they came from but for sure I rebuke them in the name of Jesus Christ Yahshua the messiah AND YOU NEED TO FAST AND PRAY AND SEEK GOD AND TURN FROM YOUR SINS AND SPEND TIME IN PRAYER. ALSO you need to visit a deliverance ministry who specializes in casting out evil spirits. But you should NEVER ignore these thoughts that's what you should never do. Since fasting and praying and binding these thoughts in the name of Christ

ALSO obedience will help you too. I find these thoughts go away AS LONG as I keep binding these thoughts in the name of Christ EVEN IN PUBLIC people may think your off your rockers but forget about them and obey God and bind them anywhere in the name of Christ, and do what you have to do to get free. If your having sex before marriage, STOP it. If your smoking, STOP it, if your lying, stealing, cheating, or a homosexual, STOP STOP AND STOP seek God and turn from all these things and get free in Jesus name. Would love to hear from you to know how your doing. Sorry for the bad advice you got back in 2010 but the advice I'm giving you here, is the correct advice to set you free. Let me know how your doing Shalom

This is a very old thread, so I'm not sure the OP is still on here. In any case, speaking as someone who has had OCD most of her life, I can say that in most cases OCD is a mental illness that has nothing to do with being oppressed/possessed. Just wanted to clarify that for those out there who have OCD.
