Scared I swore on someone's life on a sin

EPHESIANS6:10-11 · May 30, 2016

sweet heart i understand what you are going through...i have OCD myself...write down the facts and how unlikely that anything will happen to your brother , be mindful use the things you are being taught with the CBT
are you on medication ? can you call your therapist for support ?
dont let your fear get to you ...i know its hard i know that fear i know you feel bad
but Jesus loves you God isnt vengeful he loves you and will no matter what

So is God not going to harm my brother?? This sin I feel like I can't stop it sometimes but I don't wanna promise on his life. It was thought that I didn't mean. But please tell me is God going to let anything bad happen to my brother if I continue with it because I struggle with it a lot. And I'm worried. @EPHESIANS6:10-11

My brother or let something bad happen to him because of my sin. Please tell me
That is what I'm worried about. Thankyou @brinny

God LOVES you and your brother. God will not harm him, or you. Pray to Him, and ask Him to free you from your fears and to minister to you and comfort you and to show you His grace and loving kindness and tender mercies.

Listen to songs that calm you and help you to focus on the GOODNESS of God. He is a GOOD Shepherd and He will protect and defend you from ALL harm.

Praying for you, your brother, your family and your household, dear heart (((hug)))

i cant tell you that your brother will be fine but what i can tell you is that God isnt vengeful and isnt angry at you at all
things happen in life which are unexpected we cant say tomorrow i'll die because my sister swore on my life that she wouldnt sin life isnt like that we can never know what ahead of us or whats going to happen today or tomorrow
try and think logically call your therapist and maybe have a talk to your dr about this as well
God loves you and your family but at some point we all will die and that's part of life
praying for you
sorry if anything av said upset you i dont want you to feel that way

Brininy thankyou so much I would love to direct message you @brinny (hug)

EPHESIANS6:10-11 · May 30, 2016

sorry ... its a link to someone talking about fear and how you can get help from Jesus
sometimes your fear gets too much for us sometimes we need to show our fear to God and ask him to help you
God will be there let God see your fears read the bible and pray to him
am sorry if what i said was harsh i didnt mean it to come out that way your brother is living now and he will go on living until its his time to die ....but he will be born again in to Jesus's loving arms

Hi; here's a good verse: "Whatever things are true.. honest.. just.. pure.. lovely.. of good report; if there be any virtue and if there be any praise, think on these things." (Philippians 4.8)

Yes, prayer and the Scriptures are the elements that the believer lives in. Good advice to pursue them!

But God won't kill him because of the thought I had right and me continuing the sin ? @EPHESIANS6:10-11

EPHESIANS6:10-11 · May 30, 2016

Hello I've been feeling so so so worried. I've been struggling with a certain sin and I feel like God even though I know it's not true is trying to make me swear on my family's life not to commit this sin again and I've had horrible intrusive thoughts were I feel like I've sweared and then I know I haven't. Well I woke up and I realised I didn't really do my sin and I always do it. Then I had a thought this is not accurate but I think I said in my head "wow I haven't thought about sin maybe I Swore on my brothers life or something" and then I had a thought saying that "I swore on his life not to do the sin" I have no idea why I did that maybe it's because I didn't do it before but I really really would never swear on his life I don't know if it was an unwanted thought or If it was from me but one of my biggest fears is swearing on someone's life for the sins I struggle with especially family. I know in my heart I would never in a million years swear on any of my family's life and I'm worried That God will harm him or let him be harmed beause I had a death thought as well saying something like "if you do it again he will die in this time blahahah" I know that was my thought but I'm afraid God will make it come true. By the way I didn't say that I swore on his life it was a thought I would never do such a thing with a sin I struggle with so I don't know why I had that thought. I've prayed in the past and said to God that "I will never swear on my family's life " when I thought I have because I thought I had before Please help me is my brother going to be harmed I know for fact I would never swear on someone's life regrading my sin and I'm so confused to why I did. I don't know if it was an unwanted thought or I just did by accident I know God knows my heart and I can assure you I DONT SWEAR ON HIS LIFE FOR THAT SIN. This morning I was in tears because I was so so so worried that something bad or might happen to him like him dying. I would never because I know that I will do it again and I don't know why I did in my thoughts. I'm really struggling with this sin and I would never swear to stop so I don't know why I thought it. Please help me someone I'm worried.

Your thoughts are superstitious. You need to read the Bible and get to know God's loving protection over you and those you pray for. Then those superstitious thoughts will disappear. "Submit to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you."

"'Vengeance is Mine, I will repay' saith the Lord." "...dealing out retribution to those who obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ." God is both jealous and vengeful, as well as merciful and loving. You should read your Bible more.

So what are you trying to say about my brother? @tdidymas

sorry i dont know a lot of what in the bible

Jesus said "Do not swear at all, neither by heaven, for it is God's throne, nor by earth, for it is His footstool, and do not swear by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black. But let your yes be yes, and your no, no, and anything beyond that is of the evil one."

Its application to you is: when you swore to God on your brother's life, that was the first sin you committed, and you need to repent from it. You should renounce your selfish and conceited vow in prayerful submission to God. You should also confess Jesus as your Lord and Savior, and God will forgive your sins.

It also means that whatever happens to your brother has nothing at all to do with your actions, because Jesus said "do not swear by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black." It means that your pronouncements do not have any supernatural power at all to do any harm to your brother. If anything bad happens to your brother, it will not be your fault, because your vow (and potential "curse") does not have any power at all in it, because Jesus defeated Satan at the cross.

It sounds to me the way you are responding that you think the devil has more power over your family than God has. But the Bible says that God is the sovereign one, meaning He rules, and the devil has to get permission from God to do anything. The problem is not in the air, or even in the prince of the power of the air, but it's in your mind. The problem is in your belief system. I pray that God will give you an insatiable desire to know God and His love through Christ.

Finally, the reason why I said your vow was selfish and conceited is: selfish, because you swore on your brother's life instead of your own, and conceited, because you thought you had the power to keep yourself from temptation. This is two sins you should repent of in renouncing your vow. Learn to trust in Jesus to keep you out of trouble. Why not be free of this foolish burden, and experience the peace of Christ? Take it to the cross!

Hi,

The bible says:

Mat 5:36-37 Don't swear by your own head. You cannot make one hair white or black. When you make a promise, say only "Yes" or "No." Anything else comes from the devil.

Note swearing an oath has it origin not in God, but the devil. God is not asking you to swear by your families head, it is the devil. God will not hold you to something Satan is trying to get you to do. In God, you are 100% free of your oath.

@tdidymas i don't think you understand I have Ocd were I just think random
Things that I don't mean to think I didn't say the thought out loud about my brother it was just a thought and as soon as I had that thought minutes later I prayed to God and said that I don't swear on my brothers life or family's life for anything. I've been having unwanted thoughts days before saying that I swore on my family's life for the sins that I do sometimes, and I told God when I would get these unwanted thoughts that I really really don't. I don't think I would ever swear on my family's life because I had thoughts before saying that I did but I just don't know why I did in my thoughts. I have really horrible intrusive thoughts and I get worried litterally over anything that he to do with harm of me and my my family.

Father in heaven, please help my sister in Christ, Victoryismine, to have some victory over this strategy of the devil. Help her to understand that You are a great and awesome God who rules not only over the universe, but also over her life and thoughts. Let her have victory over this excessive fear and worry, and replace those useless thoughts with a desire to know Your word. Even as Your word says "perfect love casts out fear," help her to know Your perfect love and embrace it as she embraces Christ's lordship over her. In Jesus' name, amen.
