• 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.

I have read almost every thread about the unpardonable sin (I have spoken evil of the HS and attributes good things to the devil before, I can't ever tell my own thoughts from compulsions/intrusive ones), and selling your soul. Will reading one I said I'd sell my soul, named a price, and said I sealed it in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. I hoped there would be something undoubtedly refuting soul selling but all I got was confirmation I am likely bound for hell. I wish people had an answer other than "OCD doesn't count" but say it DOES count can I possibly be forgiven? Is my soul sealed to hell?

Numbers 30 comes to mind.
Christ is the head of His church.
When the wife (we are His bride) makes some vow binding herself by an oath, and the husband hears it, which Christ does, then Her husband can overrule all the wife has said and it is voided out.


“Or if a woman makes a vow to the Lord, and binds herself by some agreement while in her father’s house in her youth,"
..........
6 “If indeed she takes a husband, while bound by her vows or by a rash utterance from her lips by which she bound herself, 7 and her husband hears it, and makes no response to her on the day that he hears, then her vows shall stand, and her agreements by which she bound herself shall stand. 8 But if her husband overrules her on the day that he hears it, he shall make void her vow which she took and what she uttered with her lips, by which she bound herself, and the Lord will release her.

Recall Christ having become a curse for us who believe in Him, if so that you received the promise of the Spirit by faith in Him, then you are released by Him from your vows and curse you made foolishly.

Galatians 3:12-14New King James Version (NKJV)
12 Yet the law is not of faith, but “the man who does them shall live by them.”

13 Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”), 14 that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

If you have a desire for Jesus, then you have hope .. Continue to renew your mind with scripture and rebuke the bad thoughts in Jesus name if it takes all day for 3 months .. I once had a spirit to tell me to 'kill them all, take a knife and kill them all' . It scared me that I could think something like that but it wasn't me but a demon spirit .. I have never thought such a thing and knew it was a fiery dart by the enemy .. When Jesus fasted 40 days and was tempted of the devil it was in spirit not face to face and Jesus knew and used scripture because his replies were all "it is written" .. You can have a powerful testimony and ministry to others if you fight through and learn the Word .. Do not go on feelings but faith in Jesus and his Word .. Prayers that you get tough and take the victory in Jesus name friend .. Be set free in Jesus name ..

I have in the past. I had a period of awful disbelief, does that mean I'm not saved?

None of us can tell another that they are saved. We are to look at the fruits we bear.
Only God truly knows each heart.

I'm so scared God will reject me at the judgement. Please help me.

I strayed from the faith. Thought none of it was real. That there was no God. It's sickening. I want to be saved.

If you go back to thinking good works will save you instead of believing faith in Jesus will save you then Jesus sacrifice for you no longer can work in you .. If you are saved but fall into sin then your life will be miserable until you repent and return to the Lord .. I'ts called chastisement from the Father .. What father doesn't correct his son ? If you partake of the Lords supper unworthy which is unrepentant sin you will be punished even through sickness even leading to death if you persist in unrepentant sin .. We also experience valleys and low times to keep us moving forward and from becoming complacent .. You can be turned over to the devil for the destruction of your flesh but your soul will be saved if you are born again but in sin . Your mental torment is a warning to get right with God .. It is a serious thing and warning for you .. It is real and needs you full attention .. You are being tested . You've been told what you must do and how to get relief .. No one but you and God .. I've been where you are and Jesus lead me out though it wasn't pretty at the time .. Be still and know he is God ..

Blessings in Christ Jesus! Are you busy right now? Do you have time to go down in prayer? Can we pray together right now? I want to agree with you in prayer if you have the time. Whenever I pray I ask The Lord to forgive my sins and for Him to cover me in His blood that He shed upon the cross. Then I let my petition be known unto Him. In this case it will be for you and with you if you agree.As soon as I am done writing this I will go pray for you.Faith is a gift and I am asking this in Jesus name for you will you agree?
