unwanted emotions?

[John B Jr.]

sometimes while having a doubting thought or whatever I'll feel an emotion either of smugness or hostility towards a vague image or idea of Christ, but then I'm like "where did that come from, I hate that, Lord that's not how I feel about you"

i have the same thing. Just a few minutes ago i heard a loud noice outside, and it sounded like a horn, it then reminded me of the trumpet at the return of Christ, and i was going through a doubting moment when i heard it, and had some hostility toward the thought of Christ. I hated the fact that i thought it, but i geuss the fact that i hate it is a good sign. So since you dont like the thoughts you have, just press on towards Christ and trust in Him, in His ability and willingness to save.

I will be praying for you.

This also happens to me and I hate it more than anything else in the world.

Yeah, this happend all the time but mine is mostly connected along with bad thoughts. I don't want to be this way, but I find it hard to know whether or not I want it or not or if its really me? Do you all ever feel like that?

 

[LadyL]

Definately had it happen, but yes we must press on, no matter how awful and guilty we feel about it.

Run that race.

I believe that trying to ignore such thoughts help and you seem to be doing well by telling yourself it's not so. Doubt is one of the key factors of OCD. You may be able to help yourself on your own but if it happens a lot and you suffer you may want to see a counselor and a doctor. The Lord is with you.

Our carnal mind , ocd , fears , temptations, confusions and doubts ,I think are all just afflictions of our minds, but God is greater and loves us deeply anyways and died to save us and wash us clean and heal us from our broken hearts and set at liberty the bruised and give us rest and peace and strength and our righteousness is of Jesus our Saviour and not of ourselves.









Isaiah 54:17
No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.


Romans 8:7
Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.


Psalm 18


1I will love thee, O LORD, my strength.
2The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.

3I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.
4The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid.
5The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death prevented me.
6In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears.


16He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters.
17He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which hated me: for they were too strong for me.

18They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay.

19He brought me forth also into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me.
20The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.
21For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
22For all his judgments were before me, and I did not put away his statutes from me.
23I was also upright before him, and I kept myself from mine iniquity.
24Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.
25With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful; with an upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright;
26With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself froward.

27For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but wilt bring down high looks.
28For thou wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness.

29For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall.
30As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him.
31For who is God save the LORD? or who is a rock save our God?
32It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect.

33He maketh my feet like hinds' feet, and setteth me upon my high places.
34He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.
35Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy right hand hath holden me up, and thy gentleness hath made me great.

36Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip.

46The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; and let the God of my salvation be exalted.
49Therefore will I give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the heathen, and sing praises unto thy name.
