OCD devil obsession

[Somename]

Hi everyone. Of late my OCD has been stuck on the devil and it's been bugging me. It's saying stuff like whatbifbhes actually good and God is bad or if satanists are right about how we should live and things. I know these thoughts are absurd but they are really bugging meband wanted to know of any advice you would have. Thanks and God bless +

I personally believe that in the times we are living in there will be increased activity in this direction. Demons of doubt are as if on the loose. I even find myself having to focus in on Jesus closely, many distractions are in the world. He is the answer, it's not church doctrine in these days but all eyes on Jesus Christ. Because even the saints will be deceived if that were possible and many churches already are.

You are not your thoughts, they are vain imaginations that exhalt themselves above the word of God. Write the thought down, confront the fear of it and challenge it then you can build the ability to dismiss it without any judgmental response about yourself or your spiritual condi tion and be solid on your godly foundation in Jesus Christ. Your thoughts' fears and doubts does not change the fact that God loves you and is always there for you. god bless

If you have OCD and this is acting like an obsession, then you need to treat it as an obsession. It's not clear from your post if you are just wondering about these things, or if you are having obsessive intrusive thoughts about them. The truth is that God is the only true and good one...but I think you know that?? If these thoughts keep pushing at you even though you don't want them to be there, and if you are trying to fight them off because they are bothering you, those are signs of an obsession and you need to treat it like OCD. Are you familiar with using ERP therapy tactics on OCD?

ERP therapy is generally the type of therapy considered to be most effective for OCD. It's basically letting yourself be anxious without doing compulsions to relieve the anxiety (compulsions can be physical or mental). There's a ton of great information here:

Managing the Haunting Thoughts of Pure O – OCD
With OCD, it's super important to learn how to fight it effectively, instead of continuing the cycle of ruminating (trying to "solve" the obsession), asking for assurance, or any other compulsions you might have. I'd encourage you to do some research, and keep asking questions on here as well if you need to!
