Please analyse my situation.

[Luiz11]

I've made a thread in another section,asking if have i commited the unpardonable sin.

I thought so,because in the past weeks,i've been continuously thinking the most blasphemous things about and towards God,Jesus Christ,the Holy Spirit and even Mary.

And trust me,even if you try to imagine(don't do that) what are the most blasphemous things a person can think about them or towards them,you still wouldn't know how terrible were those offenses.

Until yesterday,i was still feeling alright,because i was confident that i was still feeling the Spirit in me. A bit worried,because i don't trust my discernment and maybe i wasn't really feeling the Spirit. But i was still calm.

Today,i kept thinking those things,and some of the thoughts were even worse than those i've been having in the past weeks. People says that if you're worried,it means you haven't commited the unforgiveable sin,it means you haven't done it,but today,i was feeling indifferent towards the possibility of having blasphemed the Spirit.

I'm concerned,but in comparison to other times in which i got desperate or very worried about it,i've been emotionally dull towards it the whole day.

What should i think of my current situation? I thought it were the Devil's influence,but now i'm sure it is my own incredible stupidity and my own evil personality. If you think i'm wrong,still do say what supposedly would be my situation if i did have such thoughts willfully.

One more question:

Is it possible for me to ask God if is He still with me or not. I've seen plenty of people saying that God talks to them,but i wonder if does He only do that with people who have a good relationship with Him.

Indeed, keep yourself in Prayer, and be open to the Spirit. Despite what you posted, by posting what you did shows that the Spirit is not done with you yet! Pray for humility so that you may submit to His will, and that the hardness of your heart will be eased. I will pray for you also.

God can do all things; even when we try to fight him. Remember Jonah.

That's pretty much all what is left for me,but the problem is my lack of capacity to discern between my own thoughts and the Holy Spirit's promptings.

I know that the Spirit would never tell me to do anything opposite to God's Word,but many times i have a hard time at recognizing whether it's the Spirit's guidance or my own view of what sin is.

 

[MarkRohfrietsch]

Pray for guidance and the strength to submit to God's will; be mindful that often times the way of the Holy Spirit is not the easy way, whereas sin and the urging of the devil is often the easy choice.

Remember, we are created by God; we are already His. We can only reject Him, but it is through the help of the Holy Spirit that we can come to faith and repentance; and through that faith and repentance we become submissive to His will.

1: Why was this moved here? ... I don't have a problem with it being here, but I'm curious as to why it would be moved from somewhere else to here?

2: Luiz... there's a difference between "things crossing your mind" and "actively thinking blasphemous things." From the sound of it, I'm guessing something crossed your mind that you wish you hadn't even thought of... in doing so you made yourself think "well at least I didn't think (fill in the blank)... which got your mind wandering about what else you shouldn't even think about. I'll bet you don't want to think any of them, but the more you try not to think about it the more you're actually thinking about it.

... it would be like if you didn't see many people of a certain minority, and were spending the day with someone of that minority and you were paranoid about accidentally saying something that could be considered offensive to that person... the more you tell yourself not to even think of anything that could be considered racist the more you fill your head with "what all you're not supposed to say" ... the more you actually think about such things.

You sound concerned which means God's holy spirit is still guiding your conscience. My suggestion would be to have faith. If you honestly pray for forgiveness, God certainly can forgive you for for something you never intended to do in the first place. But you have to have FAITH and TRUST that God has forgiven you. What may be even harder is that you have to forgive yourself as well.

... perhaps this can be a learning experience for you... You can turn it into an exercise that can bolster your relationship with God.

i went thru this for a long time with believing i had committed the unforgivable sin and thinking extremely blasphamous thoughts that i did not want to think. it made me crazy trying to read the bible and moment by moment thinking this blasphamous thought and that blasphamous thought. i think part of it is the devil tormenting us trying to discourage us from following God, and the other part is anxiety i believe. i was so scared of thinking blasphamous thoughts that the anxiety caused me to keep thinking them over & over.
so here is my advice. number one, i didnt commit something unforgivable and neither have you. if you want to seek God, you can. luke 11:9 "So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you." the next thing is just keep going in spite of the blasphamous thoughts. i kept going and i still deal with blasphamous thoughts, but it has improved because i decided not to let myself get so anxious and worked up about them. if they happen, just ignore them as best as you can.
you may have obsessive compulsive disorder, i believe i have that, as well as anxiety....it can cause obsessive thoughts. i like to treat the bad thoughts like "flies" buzzing around in my head....yes they are terribly annoying and distracting but just keep going in spite of em.
remember to live a life of obedience to God's moral commands. like the golden rule, do unto others as you would have them do unto you. when i began obeying God in my life, that is when i began "hearing his voice" in things like my devotions and christian music and stuff.

These impulse thoughts are likely a kind of boomerang of mental repression, its just meaningless trash, just learn to ignore it.

It reminds me of the movie A Beautiful Mind, the main character was able to function with less or no medication by understanding his psychitzophrenia and ignoring what he came to know as delusional characters that existed only in his mind. He stopped talking to them (controlled response), but he continued to see them (uncontrollable impulse), so he was able to function using this method.

Overly repressing impulse thoughts may actually make them stronger, but I believe ignoring them makes them weaker. It is hard to understand the origin of these terrible thoughts, but the devil is surely on board or an originator of them - it's kinda like a bully, often they stop bothering you if you just ignore them; but if they find out it bothers you, then they will pester you all the more.

I'm not a doctor, but... doesn't blasphemy sometimes accompany Tourette syndrome? A quick google search found this:

The world's first known case, first described back in 1825, involved a fancy and influential French noblewoman, the Marquise de Dampierre, who lived in horror of her own eruptions into vulgar blasphemy among high society.

Maybe you could consult a doctor?

It is truly sickening to imagine that someone could think these blasphemous thoughts against our savior... To be honest, I don't know how I could live with myself if I were you.

I'd ignore ThrillBilly's notion that he couldn't live with himself .

Satan has basically two avenues of deception .

1. Try to convince us there's no hope - ( when in truth there is much ! )

2. Try to persuade us were so safe + secure that we can throw caution to the wind and sin with impunity . ( When indeed we cannot ! )

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There's power in praising with understanding .

If whenever an evil thought begins to present itself to our mind , we begin to praise God and thank Him for giving us His Son Jesus so that we can be cleansed by His Blood and forgiven our sins - then the introducing of evil thoughts will only increase our praising and giving thanks to God . And Satan hardly wants to be one who stimulates heart-felt praise and worship of the True God , and thus , ( if we persevere unto consistency ) he will be forced into trying to come up with some other way to trouble us .

Consider -

For God is King of all the earth; sing praises with understanding. <-----> Psalm 47:7

Out of the mouths of babes and sucklings You have ordained strength, because of ones vexing You, to cause the enemy and the avenger to cease. <-----> Psalm 8:2

And they said to Him, Do you hear what these say? And Jesus said to them, Yes, have you never read, "Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings You have perfected praise?" <-----> Matthew 21:16

In Matthew 21:16 Jesus is quoting Psalm 8:2 - notice how in Matthew 21:16 - " ordained strength " is spoken of as " perfected praise " !

Indicating that the strength which God has ordained , that will " cause the enemy and avenger to cease " is the perfecting of our praise !

Also key is that our praising be with understanding - in other words - not just empty attempts at flattery ; but words founded in the perceiving of Scriptural Truth .

May The Lord Be Pleased to Bless !

You may be having bad thoughts, but as long as you dont act upon yhem - I think you are doing okay x

Can you imagine just how Peter felt when he denied Jesus three times in one night? Then just before he went back to heaven Jesus had a conversation with Peter that started with the words (John 21:15-17),`Simon son of John, do you love me?` This happened three times and by the third time Peter thought he was onto a hiding because of what he had done the night before Jesus' death.

Had Peter committed the unforgivable sin? Clearly not, as what he did do was forgiven. If our thinking is centred around trying to seek forgiveness and being contrite in our attitude, then this is a positive indication. The biggest single thing we wish to avoid is feeling overly sad and guilty if we are trying to mend our ways, feeling that we are unworthy to God. Prayer, meditation and supplication as well as reading the Bible will help many situations and help those needing support to find it.

Unless you are willfully and deliberately going round uttering profane words about the Lord to everyone you meet, with full and complete knowledge of who He is, then I don't think you have any reason to worry that you have committed the unforgivable sin.

I don't believe that any person who had truly committed that sin would be feeling worried or anxious about it. And the fact that you are clearly troubled shows that you have not committed it either.
