• 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.

Some days ago I had thoughts about rejecting Jesus Christ. I was a bit angry and bitter at God at the time, so I am not sure if I thought the thoughts myself, or part of them, or if it was intrusive thoughts as I do get them as well, including ones rejecting Jesus. Now I am feeling really guilty and condemned and afraid. I have repented and asked forgiveness, but I still don't feel better. However there's not much else I can do. Any tips on what to do?

GOD says when you repent HE never wants you to bring it up again it is blotted out to never to come into HIS mind again. People have a hard time forgiving themselves and are hard on themselves. GOD says its done and over after repentance. Now forgive yourself and never bring it up again. When you do it is like you saying GOD does not have the power to blot it out, forgive yourself.

:) We do tend to believe what we might have said or thought or done in one moment in time and that's it its over. Its ok He is GOD and He knows your heart. One moment in time where we fall miss it does not define us. So you said you repented... not sure you really had to but you wanted to praise God. Now OT did you know they had a guilt offering? So did you know Christ also died for guilt? Yeah when you feel guilty.. that is not God doing it nor condemning. Take Christ at His word and just simple no matter how you feel think just believe. He said I didn't come to condemn the world but to save it. Really think about that.. He does not condemn me.

This is still a fallen world still under a curse. This flesh has not been changed yet. The real you is the new man which after God was created in righteousness and true holiness. See right now no matter how you see you HE GOD sees you through the finished work of Christ. You are righteous and holy. Not by any thing you did or will do but what Christ has already done. This can be almost like a road block for some. Well we know is not that easy. We have to pay for all the wrong and bad we did do. He died for ever sin you ever will do. We have no right to freely sin. But its no longer I that sin but sin that is in me. See yourself as HE sees you. Walk by faith not how you feel or see. Feelings are up and down man if I go by feelings? Yeah not saved.. God? Pfft He took His bags .. man even His hat and left. :) Walk by faith. Trust in what He told you. I will never leave you never forsake you. Never makes you feel guilty never condemns you. You fall look up. Yeah Hes got a smile on His face arms out to pick you up ever time.

So we repent or we get up dust off keep going. We just do a 180 not 360. No matter what it is NEVER run away but run to Him. He can only help when we run to Him and trust HIM that what He started in you He will finish. Sorry you must forgive yourself. Just when you don't want to.. praise Him sing to Him.. put on some Christian music and praise Him and dont stop. Keep your mind on Him and He will keep you in perfect peace. Sad? I say NO I have the joy of the lord. Scared? NO God has not given me the spirit of fear but of power love and a sound mine. God left me...NO He said He will never leave me nor forsake me. See USE His word against the enemy against those thoughts. You sin so much He does not love you. NO if I confess my sins He is faithful and just to forgive me my sins and cleanse me from all unrighteousness.

Want peace keep your mind on Him. He is never against you. Isa 41 10 Pas 91 on and on. Don't let the enemy steal your joy. Again there is no guilt or condemnation. We goof up miss it .. get up dust off keep going :) See this walk? No believer can walk it with out Christ. yeah we need Him for ever thing. Try to do it alone and we will fall ever time. Just trust in Him no matter what you feel see no matter how dark it gets you trust in Him. Find what His word says and speak it and KNOW He will always bring it to pass. Luke 11 13

God knows us better than ourselves. As long as you have a repented heart(which now you do) God works with you and is mercifull. If this is an intrusive thought(which means it wasn't from your spirit's intention), then don't give it even another thought. If this was intentional, just next time that you do get mad at God, be honest and sincere about your feelings to Him(in your prayers) and tell Him that you are angry.

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding. (KJV,Prov9:10)

God's love is perfect and very forgiving.


Blessings.
