These bad thoughts never stop, do they?

[Job405]

Today's theme has been about cursing Jesus. I was being bombarded by bad thoughts and accidentally thought "I curse [you know the rest]". Then it was putting thoughts in my mind that "Jesus is [you know what]" and I was replying in my mind "No", until once I got distracted while walking and calling a friend then I thought "Yes", at that point I got a horrible feeling in my body, because it says in the Bible that nobody who has the Holy Spirit can call Jesus accursed.

It was a mistake, I did not mean it, I hate these bad thoughts, this is no way to live. I just felt like confessing this in public because it helps me.

But I still love God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit more than anything and want to worship and serve them so I guess I am not lost yet. What do you guys think?

EDIT: And again my mind just thought it, "Jesus is [you know what considering the topic of this post]"

You are human! Think of Peter being sifted by Satan, the Tempter. He does this to test us, to trip us up, and sooner or later we stumble. That what it means to be human and why Paul often cried out for G-d to end this sin within him. To see it, and feel bad about it is the first step toward holiness.

These are just intrusive thoughts. Your mind is exploring all various possibilities. It doesn't represent who you are, and God knows it.

Many thoughts cross my mind, which I do not speak. I don't say it, because I don't agree to it. That's why I believe in speaking prayer, rather than merely thinking it. The mind is merely a zoo of ideas, and the ones that really matter are the ones that escape to make trouble in the world around me.

Let me make a correction respectfully here. He doesn't need to feel bad about this as he did not sin! Job please do not go into further condemnation over that part. You are saved and Sanctified read Hebrews 9&10

These are intrusive thoughts. It is in the nature of human psychology to often feel compelled to think about the worst possible possibility, for mental preparedness. In the realm of everyday things (work problems, etc.) this causes stress, which can be beneficial when it is to a manageable degree and practical, or harmful if it is excessive. You seem to be following this pattern, I would suggest accepting it as a human psychological mechanism, but know that spiritually you are under Grace, and there is no need to worry or obsess about it. That may well break the circular mental chain.

May God bless you, and thank you for sharing your struggles with us. You know you are secure in Jesus' love. Satan would like to take advantage of your OCD tendencies, but Jesus has again given you the strength to overcome him.

This helped. Thanks to everyone who replied!

I wanted to pass on one more idea. I found Red, End of Silence, helpful when feeling and sins I struggle with seem to overwhelm me. They are Symphonic Metal the emphasis is on Metal, so their music, though Christian, maybe too hard for some but growing up on metal as a kid, I love Christian Symphonic Metal and the words they sing speak right to the heart.

I pray that Jesus will minister to you, and that you will be convinced that only by trusting in Him can you overcome this attack.

He can -- and He wants to -- but He will never violate your free choice to do so.

Trust God. Yield to Him. Listen to the words of King David in this song.

 

[Of the Kingdom]

I apologize. I meant to play the song, not the straight Bible reading. Right now you need a song of gladness, not preaching. I'll try again --

See if this is more to your liking.

 

[Of the Kingdom]

If you're still with me, here is the song I originally intended to share with you.

I think the Holy Spirit had a different idea. In any case, I will continue praying for you. I hope you received the message of the last song; now hear one of my favorites. This came just after Nathan the prophet told David, "Thou art the man!" after describing the evil he had done. Nathan probably was prepared to die in the next moment, but God touched David's heart, and here is the result, as set to music.

 

[Of the Kingdom]

I hope you prayed that prayer, just as King David did 30 centuries ago.

Blessed be the name of the Lord.
