praying for my loved ones who suffer with anxiety & OCD. God can heal them! i pray for their salvation every day. ❤thank you for this message. God bless you, brother.
Three times I pleaded with the Lord about this, that it should leave me. But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 2nd Corinthians 12:8
Wonderful, life-changing and wholly Biblical sermon. I have had OCD for many many years, dating back to the early 90s when I was 4 or 5. Started getting worse in my early teens when I began having unwanted sexual obsessions and compulsions. Thought I was hopelessly lost. I could not get help for many years and was scared to get help for years more when I was able to. Finally started therapy earlier this year and want to encourage anyone with similar symptoms to believe and depend on Christ. You are loved far more than you can believe and Jesus will never leave you. He will be with you...always, loved one and dear friend.
@m ryan on the off chance that you get notified on this comment - do you have any advice? Any reputable support groups with Christians w/OCD that you can recommend?
I am struggling with this and it is about to kill me. It's not going for my hygiene, or my living space, or my job. It's going for my relationship with Christ. It's destroying everyone around me. It's unreal. Without a real miracle from God I don't see how I can survive much longer. Please pray for me.
For all the people who are worried about this. Let me give you some hope. The great leaders of Christian faith had this problem. Martin Luther King had this. John bunyan ( the guy who wrote pilgrim progress) had this. Pastor Joseph Prince had this. Dan mohler saw this battle and the list goes on. And the assurance is they all came out of it. And because of their struggle they became so strong in faith that others were helped by them. You will surely come out of it.
Hello brothers and sisters, I see my comment and many have liked it. Interestingly enough, lately I am discouraged. I am not trusting Jesus and am terrified I am sinning and perhaps think I’m not saved which now bring guilt because I know the Holy Spirit resides within me and I have seen him change my life. Perhaps this OCD will never go away, I don’t know. I have also seen some of my fears come true and that is what keeps me OCD-ing. I don’t want to ruminate and do compulsive motions. By the way- these compulsions lead to habits. I take a mild anti depressant - doesn’t really help because I know it is more than that. I think when I drank a lot and smoked pot ( thanks be to God I have been clean) it was to bury these thoughts and numb my brain. I wanted to feel good of course. I feel guilt and shame. My OCD is rooted in coveting (That I know). Someone please help me. 🥹🙏🏽😞 I read and meditate on scripture. I am OCD- ing right now as I type these words
@@jmcc8718 works sustain faith but cannot replace faith. Rely on Jesus. All of our answers are in God's Word. Apply them in deed and truth. "There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man."
Warning for those who do not focus on the spiritual warfare: read the Word of God! Read God's Word over and over again until you all get what you truly have to do. Jesus is using His people so that He will set many other people free! We got to do what God wants us to do. We seek Him first in everything we do and we go and preach His Gospel to the nations! We go and tell many others about Jesus Christ; and baptize in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit all those who accept Him as their Lord and Saviour. Hallelujah, praise Jesus!
@@cruspackyt84251 John 4:17-19 “17 Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world. 18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love. 19 We love Him because He first loved us.”
I have a testimony. I was attacked by the devil. And fell into a 4 month battle with EXTREME intrusive disgusting thoughts. I attend church 4 times a week and my pastor ministers me and tells me that its okay that God understands what I'm going thru without me ever telling him my problem. And ive been feeling better. The key is PRAYER PRAYER PRAYER AND CHURCH ATTENDANCE. Its a process that we break Gods work in our lives and he has to do it all over again... Which is the saddest and hardest part to accept. But believe me my attacks were 10/10 extreme!!! And God has been fixing my mind and thoughts... And now im feeling better. Dont tell God out loud you're having this problem this is what makes it worse!!!!!! Keep it in your mind and thru prayer and church attendance you will get better and God will deliver you. Im gonna copy and paste this in many videos to let u guys know that God can.implant a new mind in your brain.
This is fantastic and I’m so happy that you’re doing better, but I’d be careful telling people not to speak to God about what we’re going through. Keeping things in your mind is just bottling up pressure. We don’t have to be grotesquely specific (as God knows all things) but we can absolutely tell and should tell God with our voice what is plaguing us. If you don’t believe me, then tell me this: why would God (through James) tell us to confess our sins to one another for healing? If God says we should tell our brothers and sisters in Christ our struggles and sins (again not in extreme detail, that’s unnecessary) then how much more should we cry out to Christ, the One who can actually forgive and heal? Again, I am so happy for your progress and pray that you continue to walk in victory!!
32:07 “OCD does not define you.” That blew my mind (as well as the 30 seconds before that as well)! He’s right! And OCD does NOT speak truth about my salvation, worth, etc.!
I have been struggling with obsessive compulsive thoughts for most of my life, but have just now started to seek counseling and medication for it. God is working in this sermon to in my sinful heart.
I've struggled with OCD too. I've found that the Bible is our most powerful weapon against OCD. After all, Jesus was tempted and used the Word against the devil. We are victorious in Christ!! God bless
Thank you for dealing with this topic. The reading thing is something that I struggled with when I was homeschooled. It has manifested itself in other ways in my adult life at work. For some reason, God saw fit to relieve me of much of my OCD for a period of time. For the last few years, I have had some real struggles with it. When it came back in full force, it seemed to be something that God used to make me press in to Him and His word. I think that we often see ourselves as victims (I know that I have and still do at times). But, "the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds....."(2 Cor 10). Good word, brother!
That is true! I appreciated when you stated about God using it to draw you close to Him and His Word. I've found the Word to be the strongest weapon in this warfare. God bless!
This brought me to tears. I have a son and a niece with ocd, both expressing in different ways (niece pure o, son oc). My other son is asd. I have cptsd. We all believe in God and want to follow Jesus but it's a tough road. This sermon broke something off me... I will be playing it again so I don't forget, and living in the victory that Christ has won for me. It is only by His grace that I can show my precious loved ones how to do the same. Please pray for us as I will be praying for all who struggle as well 🙏
We gotta always hang on for the rest of our lives and live day by day, no matter the moods swings or fears. Strive to be a better follower each day, strengthen our relationship and love for Jesus, work on killing sins, and be a good witness. When we get to Heaven one day, the fight will be well worth it. Jesus won't let us give up.
Dang prayer circle? Lemme get in this rotation, names? Also, lets fast on this seriously how bad to we want to get rid of this OCD? We want it more than food? Shall men not live on bread alone? Can a demon not be casted from us by fasting and prayer? SOMEBODY
I'm so thankful for this video!!!! It's not about rules and regulations; it's all about Jesus. Thankful God has used you on this topic. I believe the Word of God is our strongest defense against the powerless enemy. Glory to God!!
Romans 12:2-3 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. And you renew your OCD mind by feeding it with the word of God which is the bible and it has power to break any chain. There is nothing impossible for our God. Jesus heals the blind! Jesus cures and removes cancer. JESUS HEALS OCD HALLELUJAH!! We sing there is power in the name of Jesus for a reason. His name is above every other name amen.
I also struggle with OCD for 10 years now, I believe OCD is actually demonic attacks on both the believers and the non-believers! To the believers to torment and STOP them because they are a threat to them and to the non-believers to torment them and finally push them to commit suicide. The more research I do on OCD the more evil it looks, I truly believe now that OCD is NOT a "mental illness" (this is the BIG lie from these demons) but OCD is rather demonic attacks! It all makes sense...since my OCD started I've had SO MANY different demonic attacks, from vivid demonic dreams to physical demonic attacks! Here is our hope...our hope is our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ! Stay strong in your faith these demons want to stop us!
When Religion and OCD collides it is a Kind of torment that is Almost unbearbable. Know You are not alone everyone has unwanted intrusive thoughts some people are just better at Acting perfect. you are not alone! Check out Mark Dejesus he is a expert on the Field of Religious Ocd and Intrusive thoughts. AND he is a believing follower of christ.
I have had OCD for a while but never realised, since I was like 10-11. But at 13, it developed into something else - my worries and thoughts just got so bad. Two years and im now 15 and its still bad. During these two years I started to pray. It has kept me a bit grounded - but I really struggle alot. Before this huge thing, I never understood God’s word and I wish that I had trusted him first but now that im realising that it may be ocd im beginning to heal. God help me!
I'm so sorry to hear your struggles, I'll pray for you! You are not alone in this, I also have OCD for 10 years now and I also for 6 of those years never knew what it was and always thought that I'm the only one with it, until I found out that it's OCD! Many with OCD felt alone before knowing what it was. I did a lot of research on OCD and the more research I do on this the more evil it looks! I truly believe now that OCD is not a mental illness but rather demonic attacks on us! We don't have to fear, we just need to stand strong in our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
Everyone here who is suffering from this, you are not alone! Jesus knows your heart and he understands your broken mind! He is still with you! Always! Lord, I pray for each and every person here who is suffering! Please Holy Spirit, pour yourself into these people! Give them the strength to overcome the enemy and the peace to relax in your grace! In Jesus Christ name I pray Amen!!
My scrupulosity OCD caused me to completely turn away from my faith for the past four years. I suffered so much guilt, shame and pain from my religious beliefs in the past that I thought it was just what a relationship with God was supposed to be like. I still don't believe God is good. People don't understand how agonizing it all is. I fully gave up my identity in Christ (which was my ENTIRE personality at the time), and was so confused when I immediately felt better than I ever had, my depression even went away, I was happy for the first time in my life. I spent the last four years trying to decide why I should ever go back if I am so much happier now.
I understand what you're going through and I hope and pray the Holy Spirit would move in your heart and mind and drive out any negative things the enemy is trying to plant into your mind. The devil is a liar and he just wants you to believe God is not good, but He is. He is so worthy even through our pain. I love You sister and I am praying for you❤❤
I also struggle with OCD for 10 years now and I could never understand what was happening to me because before that I was "normal" (in fact I've been a born again Christian even before my OCD started and was and is always passionate about the Lord Jesus). I started doing a lot of research on OCD so I can understand it better and I believe now I finally understand it! The more research I did (and still do) the more evil it looks! I now TRULY believe that OCD is NOT a mental health issue but rather demonic attacks on us to try and destroy our faith and our physical lives in many different ways, I believe Christians who suffer with OCD are actually in a spiritual warfare and these demons really want to stop us because we are a threat to them! For the non-believers who suffer from OCD I believe these demons are also out obviously to torment them with this "illness" and eventually push them to commit suicide. OCD is a lie I believe coming from the pits of HELL! The fearful and EVIL (unwanted/ intrusive) thoughts are NOT our thoughts, these demons want us to believe that it's OUR OWN thoughts so that we feel extremely guilty and embarrassed about it and THIS is what destroys us (this BIG LIE that most with this believe)!
I struggle with something like this as well. Here are some scriptures that help me out with that. “Whoever trusts in his own mind is a fool, but he who walks in wisdom will be delivered.” Proverbs 28:26 ESV
I suffer from OCD severely. I have all sorts of blasphemous Obsessive Intrusive Thoughts of all kinds against the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit. I am desperately seeking for help now, because I believe I have committed blasphemy. So, I keep repenting, but the thoughts never ever stops, so I have to repent nearly every single second. My OCD has gotten so bad that I have to physical hit myself. I feel like dying, and my mind feels breaking apart. The therapist told me that I need to let those thoughts slip. But how can let blasphemous thoughts slip away when I can stop them? Am I not committing blasphemy by doing so? Help me brothers and sisters. Please pray for me.
devil has entrapped your mind soul in a hell, he is doing the fiery darts in you at you, the thoughts and getting u to stay ina mind cycle of hell,,,,,,,,,,,, THINK GRACE
I'm so sorry to hear that, it happened to me also before and to a close friend of mine in Christ, I have OCD for 10 years now and I could never really understand what was happening to me until I discovered 4 years ago that I have OCD (my OCD started while being a born again Christian, I've always been passionate about the Lord Jesus). I started doing a lot of research on OCD and the more research I did (and still do) the more evil it looks! I believe now I finally understand what it is! I DON'T believe it's a "mental illness" but rather DEMONIC ATTACKS (spiritual warfare) to STOP us believers because we are a threat to them! I've had so many demonic attacks in so many different ways since my OCD started...from vivit demonic dreams to physical demonic attacks! It is clear to me now that they use the OCD LIE to attack us and to DESTROY us! Don't worry about it (I know it sucks) but this is warfare! We just need to stand strong in our faith in our Lord Jesus! I'll pray for you indeed. Keep the faith and keep hope!
@@NiceIce923I’ve suffered since I was baptized as well. It’s been awful I don’t wish it on anyone. But just as I’ve had demonic attacks in my sleep just as you, God has also shown his beauty in my sleep. He’s given me a cool gift of dreams and I’m so willing to be used by Him even if it means fighting this “mental illness” to the grave.
@whoareyou7 don’t be afraid. Try to relax. When the OCD is beating me up I take a muscle relaxer to try to get some sleep. Just continue to remind yourself that it’s not you. It’s an attack on your mind from a force outside yourself. Blessings 🙏

Romans 7:14-16 King James Version (KJV) 14 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin. 15 For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I. 16 If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good.
Today I decided to get some help with my Obsession Mind. I am not Compulsive. My Christian Counselor told me this years ago. My mind is always going over and over about my sins that I know I have repented for. Or I need to be a better Christian than I am. I have ask my children over and over to forgive me of my past wrongs. This needs to stop! 😔
My husband of 30 years wont come near me his OCD has gotten so bad. He stopped drinking 2 years ago and our marriage has changed drastically . He sleeps on the couch stays in the bathroon alot and works alot. Please pray for him. Thank you
So sorry my dear, I know Wat he is going through, read doctor Fred penzels ways of treating ocd, follow them as u try to seek God en surrendering to God
@@tg5947 no, please look and turn to Christ. Find a true biblical church and turn to the trusted pastor for marriage counseling. Miracles can happen and things truly can change. I plead with you to obey God. There is not something better out there and this marriage is what was meant to happen. Move forward as a woman of God and focus on being the woman of God that you need to be. God will take care of you. I have OCD and I know that there is nothing more needed than someone who truly understands the thought process. The gospel is what saved my life and reminding myself of the truth in the word of God everyday brings me back to sanity. Look to wisdom from someone much older than I. There is help and there is a way of change.
Heavenly Father, thank You for Your love and mercy. Thank You for Your forgiveness and grace. Thank You for Your healing and restoration. Thank You, Jesus, for Your sacrifice. I pray that those who struggle with OCD, myself included, would be able to put to deaty the works of the flesh and be able to live by the Spirit. Lord, thank You for Your Spirit. Thank You that where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. Thank You, Jesus, for Your continuous healing, I pray that those reading this would be healed wholly and completely in Jesus' name. Amen. Greater is He who is in us than He who is in the world. The spirit is willing and the flesh is weak. Every day we have to put to death the works of the flesh and be lead by the Spirit. If you need therapy, please find a godly therapist.
Megan Orsag you have 2 Christians saying the same thing. Christians are not allowed to lie under any circumstance. lying is a sin. make sure you repent and be willing to suffer what ever consequences you face for doing the right thing. make sure you are Baptized. make sure you remember to help the orphans and widows. make sure you pray always. make sure you HONESTLY talk to GOD and don't try to hide ANYTHING because GOD sees everything in your mind, memory, heart, etc. GOD already knows the worst stuff you have done. have an honest but respectful talk with GOD about what's going on. examine yourself and repent from any active sins. if you are not married then anything sexual is sin so you should stop those actions even if it causes you pain. I went through this and I had also gone through the fear of being too far gone to save. when I honestly repented I actively said I would rather die or live in pain than sin against GOD anymore in a sexual way I resisted any physical and mental urge I had. I had a fierce and real Spiritual battle where I felt a demon attacking me then I fell asleep tired and depressed because my heart and mind were set on living forever in pain in order to stop sinning against GOD. I honestly felt I could spend eternity in pain and I was heart broken but I wanted GOD in my life more than I wanted sin. I fell asleep and I saw what looked like angels in my dream. one angel looked like a Roman soldier and he stood next to me in front of a strange closet. the closet door was open and there was a "window to Heaven" in it but it was too high for me to see into. a mighty wind came down out of the window and engulfed everything around me and the Angel that looked like a Roman soldier. the wind was talking but I could not hear what it was saying I just saw the angel Roman soldier answering it. then the wind left and another female angel escorted me away. the Angel Roman soldier walked a different way and through a wall like a ghost. when I woke up I know something important had happened but I didn't realize the angel that looked like a Roman soldier was demonic and I was enslaved through sin. when I honestly repented GOD heard my prayers and Freed me. every now and then I dreamed about the same Roman so angel watching me kind of taunting me. whenever I receive a sinful thought I remind the one behind it about their future in hell because demons don't have access to GOD'S forgiveness like we do. it was after I was freed from sexual sin that I knew I was not too far gone for GOD to save me through the sacrifice of the LORD Jesus Christ on the Cross. I had the same fears as you and I was probably worse. so if you HONESTLY feel bad and mourn about a possible eternity away from GOD then I HONESTLY think GOD is calling you to HIMSELF. GOD never rejects a contrite heart and that s what you have I honestly believe. Read GOD'S WORD and do what HE says. ❤️ pretty sure that if you feel bad and have a heart to want to repent then you haven't committed the unpardr sin. when you no longer care, worry or fear GOD is probably when a person has been turned over to a reprobate mind. look at pharaoh and how GOD hardened his heart. I think this is what it looks like. Pharaoh saw the punishment of GOD on Egypt but each time he quickly lost his fear of GOD and even basically challenge GOD by chasing after Israel. the Pharisees had no fear of GOD. their interest was in self service. when you can still feel remorse for sin and actively want to change/repent then you can still ask GOD for forgiveness. seek GOD with ALL your heart and mind and soul honestly and you WILL find HIM. HE promised this and HE doesn't break promises.❤️
I am sad I was scared of demons before coming to Jesus and was scared of reading the verses on the unpardonable sin and I read it and it brought such horrible bad thoughts against all God. Has anyone dealt with this it is truly horrid :((((((((((((((( i dealt with it all ocd clean, numbers now letters please pray for me. :(((((((((( what do i do
i struggle with this too, do not be troubled God is faithful to you, spend time in prayer and Scripture, meditate on these things. Its sometimes my only comfort. Trust God, even in the midst of mental agony and angst.
Our Lord Jesus is coming.. I have pure OCD. I'm now having looping disturbing thoughts of all kinds as well. But I believe God will take all these negative thoughts away. I pray to him all the time...
My OCD got so bad, I had to start walking away from Christianity. Too many mind games and mazes of doctrine. I eventually realized that there will never be enough belief, enough prayer, enough Bible study, enough faith, enough devotional time, enough witnessing, enough of any of it to pacify the guilt and sense of worthlessness that I was struggling with.
How are you doing Matt? I pray that you don't walk away. There isn't any other way worthy to be followed, even when it's difficult. Just like when Simon Peter said to the Lord "to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life". I'm not sure that I have OCD, but struggling with very destructive thoughts about myself connected to my past; truck loads of shame, guilt, not being food enough, worthlessness, self-condemnation, depression and loneliness. It's not about doing enough, but learning to be a child, connect to Gods love and grace and receive it, to see ourselves how God sees us. The Lord is with you, He's faithful and He wants to teach you and carry you through this difficult time.
Jesus probably has alot of us who deal with ocd yet he still accepts us because we believe in him and have faith in him and we have repented of are sins and turned away from are sinful life. And have proclaimed him as are Lord and savior. The devil is just trying to lie to you with your ocd but remember this there not your thoughts. Only Jesus knows you're true thoughts and your ture heart and the devil doesn't and he never will cause we belong to Jesus. I know we all look forward to his return. I cant wait to see him ima be so excited 😇🩸✝️🐑
I have this and it started when I was a little girl. I have guilt because it is superstitious, coveting and idolatry (in my case). I am gaining comfort from OCD rather than God. For awhile I thought it was my thorn forever. Now, I don’t know what to think. I just don’t know.
Me too, I never really had it much before getting saved. But it only means you're in the battle and that you're saved and sealed for the Lord. Otherwise the enemy had nothing to fight against
Could be youre ruminating about it. No specifics so cant tell you. But one thing that will help is to learn about how ocd really works. I recommend CBT ERPT therapy articles on ocd.
I hate ocd pray for my heart to be kind and tender to the Holy Spirit and I am not unforgivable I know God knows I ask for this prayer before two weeks ago and God is not restricted by time. Please pray I won't be unforgivable either I adimot my ocd has caused my heart to harden and be bitter and horrible and my mind stiffnecked deeply stubborn and unyeilding I need help.
Megan Orsag, Remember that Jesus died on the cross for our sins, to pay for them in full and rose again from the grave. It is not God's will for you to live in fear. Trust in Jesus and his blood to cleanse you of all sin. His blood that he shed is enough to cover all our sins. Fear not, just trust in Jesus. He loves you very much. It may feel hard sometimes to trust in God but time after time we are encouraged to trust in God in the Bible. Seek to learn of the love God has for you. Jesus invites us to come to him and find rest for our souls.
Cherie Roe I really said something horrible I'm not sure Mark 3 I really don't knkw if I I did the eternal sin pray please for me I didn't and will not because I believe Jesus dies for my sins but if I did the one things that is unforgivable or will that's it I'm separated from Jesus. Jesus will reject m
@@Magicwitch777 , Jesus does not reject those who come to him( Look up John 6:37) I can see from what you wrote that you are dealing with fear. This fear that you are describing is not from God. It does not matter that what you said was horrible. I have said some pretty horrible things myself and we all sin and fall short in many ways. The apostle Paul killed Christians before he came to Jesus in faith and Jesus forgave him. If the Lord Jesus can forgive Paul, he can forgive you. I have myself dealt with fears and anxieties and I am still learning. One thing I have been doing is highlighing many verses about trusting God in green and in the Bible, there are tons of those verses especially in the Psalms. I have prayed for you that God would help you and encourage you and you will know his love for you.
This thought, the unforgivable sin, is, for certain, those who have heard the gospel for decades, and who still curse Christ's forgiveness. When they die, they go to hell, because they are saying intheir last hours I still don't want you Jesus. So, he's rejected Heaven, and the Holy Spirt's last pleas.
I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. 16 And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good. 17 As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me. 18 For I know that good itself does not dwell in me, that is, in my sinful nature.[a] For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. 19 For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do-this I keep on doing. 20 Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it
They have just identified 4 mutated genes that cause OCD. It may be that it can soon be cured. I love God and he got me through the worst times with OCD, however he did not rescue me. Keep praying and thank him through it.
look into EPIGENETICS and how our bad and good genes can be turned ON or OFF in the womb and OUT of the womb, through diet but most importantly our thoughts and spiritual health. I have been HEALED so whatever gene may be present can be turned OFF, contact me id love to talk
hey there, @@kuronomalin2392 so i would first HIGHLY recommend looking up Dr Caroline leaf on youtube. all her videos are great but start with any of them labeled Toxic Thoughts or something like that. also can look up Courtney Griffins Epigenetics and watch that 18 minute long video. Also, the bible teaches that there are generational curses passed down from sin and these can manifest in the physical realm (Dr Leaf touches on this) and i have seen and heard of many people being healed of various diseases etc. simply by recognizing and taking responsibility for/confessing and repenting of sins and their forefathers sins (this is biblical) . Start with bitterness for one and seek the Lord to reveal to you anything you need to know/see. Also see a 12 minute video called JACK FROST the Orphan Spirit on youtube.
Is it possible to have ocd on spreading the word of Christ? I really want to spread the word of course, but I don’t know where the limit is. In other words, I have texted a bunch of people I know about Jesus (hallelujah!) and I don’t regret it. I just feel like if I don’t text every single person Christian or not they are not gonna get to know Jesus because of me. I just don’t know if God is telling me to text these people, or I am. This gives me tremendous anxiety, and I feel like if I don’t text a random person from school about Jesus, they will not be saved, or God really wants me to text this person. I don’t know what to do and I am so confused. I want to complete Gods will. Any thoughts?
Bless you.. I have also struggled with this. Do not lose your passion for telling others about Christ.. but also get your wisdom, comfort, and peace come from the Holy Spirit.
Check out Mark DeJesus's channel. He's great with this. It was liberating checking out his content. Maybe it could be helpful for you too. I admire your zeal, but please know that you can have confidence in your salvation. Jesus alone can save you, not your good deeds, and not your sharing of the gospel. I realised that I shared a gospel I didn't even really believe. I told everyone that all they had to do was believe in Jesus and repent of their sins, but I myself believed that I had a whole host of duties along with having faith. That's just not true. We are saved by grace alone and through faith in Christ alone. Moreover, obedience is great. It's lovely. It's beautiful, and it brings glory to God. But if you feel so encumbered and weighed down and anxious to do a certain task for the assurance of your salvation, you're working under the law. God loved you and saved you before you were perfect, and He did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power, of love, and of a sound mind. Lift up your soul to Him and cast your cares on Him. He doesn't only care for you if you preach the gospel, He cared for you before and He'll care for you afterwards. Just trust that you're safe, OK? Love you. Also, please read Matthew 11:28.
Hey, I have problem. Im 19 yr old man. I dont know it is God telling me, the enemy or myself. I first felt fear about plucking eyebrows in the middle about a year ago. I didnt know it was God or the enemy. I felt fear it is a sin, but I didn’t believe it was a sin. Then I let it go or promised I wouldn’t do it again, not sure. Then I felt peace for about a week. Then same happened with shaving my beard, trimming nails, etc. That all is confusing me. It happens also when I am on instagram and whatever bible verse there is it says let it go, it is sin, then other thoughts become positive saying you have been lied to it was a sin, devil comes to steal, kill and destroy. Sometimes positive sometimes negative. It is all confusing to me. Even thoughts of blaspheming the Holy Spirit came in mind, that if I believe it is not a sin that I will go to hell. Like… I really dont want to blaspheme God or the Holy Spirit. Can I do all these things? Is God telling me not to do something or is he allowing me or it is the enemy or myself. Forgot to mention, when I read article about collosians 2:20-23 I think, I felt immediate peace and joy, even started laughing of peace. Can it be God is saying to me I can do all these things and those are not a sin?
I don’t know if you’ll ever see this young man that you were not alone and the fact that you were asking these questions show that you were following God and that you love him and want to serve him and want to be his child because you already are God love’s you May the power of the resurrection and his ascension to heaven he has authority over all things grant you peace in Jesus name amen
I have this, I was being atttacked by Satan at the same time with extreme intrusive messed up thoughts. I gave in a one point and thought some things out of my emotional state and seriously believe I angered God because the next day I felt like my heart got hardened.
Dewayne for me it was to sell my soul to the devil and my mind accidentally said I call upon the devil to take my soul but I don’t mean it will God forgive me?
I prevented most of my mental illness when I fell away from Jesus by just not giving a fuck and suppressing my feelings and not letting the fear of hell, doubt and worry, I was spiritually abused to the point where I went emotionally numb I have no love no care no joy no true feelings I have no clue what emotions feel like anymore I have no clue how to get back to god my seal is popped and I’m full of apathy depression spiritually dark and numb to anything good more just disassociated and detached from reality. I fell the fuck away and died inside I don’t even know if the pain I feel in my mind is a physical pain or emotional trauma. Overall my mind is empty
My friend He is faithful to forgive and welcome you back, He desires for you to come back to Him, trust in Him for your Joy and He will give you Peace and Joy. I pray that you will feel the Love of Christ once again my friend 🙏God bless you
God wanted to me to tell you that He never gave up on you. He was just using this in your life to bring Himself glory. Everything is working our for your good. He loves you and wants to give you peace of mind. Get back into His word and talk to Him honestly. He loves you He loves you He loves you
Sorry but I don't understand why he mentioned batman and compare it to the Bible verse. It is not acceptable at all. I personally didn't like his speech about this matter. Maybe he is good in other speech.
The only unforgivable sin is not believing on Christ. Because without Him, we don't have forgiveness of sins. And with Him, all our sins are forgiven. ...Just in case you needed to hear that.
Please help! I believe in Jesus whole heartily. My sticky thoughts are doubt..... :( it just pierces through me to the core. My stupid mind is like a hamster wheel with the doubts just going round and round all day long what do I do. What do i do. Help please
This is a dangerous thing to say. I suffer from depression. I begged God to deliver me and my relief never came. It got so bad I put my pistol to my head. I know plenty of others who beg God to heal them without relief. A couple people I know committed suicide, including an uncle. This video only gives people a false sense of hope. I was promised if I have enough faith I'll be delivered. That lie drove me away from the church. You need to think before you speak
Nicholas Gulsby, I don’t think so. “Can’t be forgiven” puts limits on God. God knows our hearts and our struggles. He is loving and just. If one sins on purpose, definitively sinning on purpose, eyes wide open, rather than a fleeting moment of weakness, then he/she likely hasn’t grown and matured in the faith, perhaps never fully became a Christian. God is always faithful to forgive those who honestly are sorry for their sins.
Christianity is the cause of this distressing condition. Trying to live a holy life is impossible and unhealthy. The more you focus on holiness and trying to not sin the further away you get from peace. I left Christianity three years ago because it's a spiritually abusive system. I hope more people leave this awful cult.
Absolutely untrue. I suffer from OCD all my life, even before I became a Christian. OCD will always be there, no matter wether you’re a Christian or not. And the things you said about Christianity are also awfully, pathetically wrong. We are called to live a holy life because we love Christ, it is not what saves us. The Grace of God is. And it is the same Grace that gives us peace. Surely it is impossible to live a 100% holy life on ourselves, but we can with the help of the Lord. And even when we do sin we will repent. I have received a power like no before, and a bravery like no before, and a sense of peace and harmony like no before, ever since I became a Christ follower. Is my OCD still there? Yes. But at least now I believe I can beat it. I hope you leave your awful cult right now and come back.
I understand what you are trying to say. However Christianity is not about leading a "holy life" its about recognizing that we can't and that's why we need Jesus. Of course we may feel pressure sometimes to try and live up to some standard, but what we are called to do is turn from sin and follow Him. Believe me I know what it is like to feel caught up in trying to be perfect and it has really hurt me, but I know my feelings are not truth-God's Word is. That is what I am standing on. Jesus loves you and is waiting for you to come home.
@@nataliyalopez5603amen sister, I struggle with this too. But I know in my heart Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven. Leaving the faith will only put you in eternal hell fire! We aren’t holy. We sin. The battle is already finished. Jesus paid the penalty for sin man. Let him impute his righteousness on you. Not yours.
lol I feel like the existence of OCD in Christian’s disproves the ability of the spirit to protect believers. It literally contradicts the Bible’s claims that you will renewed by the transforming of your mind
@ no it’s not. When conditions such as OCD exist that force people to have ruminations about things they find deeply disturbing, and the rates of OCD are not eliminated let alone reduced in Christians, it’s a nice piece of circumstantial evidence that there is no Holy Spirit. Religion doesn’t appear to really help mental illness; there are a ton of ways it can make it worse. Signed a former Christian with ADHD and OCD.
@@Rory-co4vm no, the renewing of your mind doesn’t translate as you can’t experience mental states that are negative, much less mental illness. It’s the same argument as saying that as a Christian, you don’t have to suffer because you belong to Jesus Christ. People with physical ailments glorify God, and so do people will mental ailments. The latter, however, is something we do not understand fully. What we can be certain is that your argument is a straw man, and reads like cope. People like yourself grow up on Christendom and fool themselves into thinking they were apart of the body of Christ when they never really knew Him or had the Holy Spirit.
@@Rory-co4vm again, a straw-man. The renewal of your mind is not an elimination of any sort of mental ailment that accompanies it, but rather, for the conviction of sin, and the changing a way of living to better glorify God. You have to improperly frame it, because you have a poor understanding of theology, and your misrepresentation of scripture is disingenuous, as well as dishonest. People who go through physical & mental ailment very much glorify God; “My Grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” I think your appeal to being a former Christian is an outright lie, and I hope you get the mental and spiritual help that you so desperately need. Repent and come to Christ. God bless.
I don't understand what he means by an unforgivable sin, because when Jesus died at the cross didn't he get rid of sin. It blows my mind that people believe they believe God can save them from sin, except for a few. I mean this guy even says that Jesus took care of sin on the cross. Something doesn't add up.
+Buster Don What he is saying is, some people have a fear in their mind of committing an unforgivable sin. They know Jesus has saved them but they struggle with connecting that dot with belief in how that applies to them. So they worry about that sin. Often those people will freak out and ask forgiveness from God over and over and over for long periods of time asking God to forgive them. They know God has but they just can't connect that dot.
+Buster Don It's okay! Not sure if you saw my previous comment, but you can check out Matthew 12:31-32 and Mark 3:22-30 for reference. Hope that helps ☺
BeAsA Roze The Bible talks about the mind of Christ. As give us the mind of Christ. Christ doesn't have ocd but ppl still struggle with anxiety so they should keep praying.
Spiritual warfare is SCRIPTURE. You CAN'T have Jesus without HIS WORD. Spiritual warfare is evident in both the old and new testament. Satan comes to steal kill and destroy. YOU better know how to defend yourself, that is why we have the full armour of GOD.
How can your prayers not work when Jesus says told us to pray without ceasing? Jesus told the disciples that some demons are only cast out with fasting and prayer. So are you calling Jesus a liar? Romans 3:4 “God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judge Philippians 4:6 6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. 2 Corinthians 10:4 4(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds; That means addressing AND overcoming attacks.
BeAsA Rose, the bible doesn't say mental illness doesn't exist. Saying mental illness and deformities are all spiritual warfare is like saying Demons give people diabetes. Would you tell a person who had diabetes to stop taking their insulin, or tell a person who is blind to stop using their cane and just pray that it gets better? God made people to help other people. So people who suffer with OCD were given it for God's glory. I do have OCD, and it's horrible. I pray to God everyday and it doesn't go away. Which leads me to this scripture. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Healing_the_man_blind_from_birth He's not saying "Stop fighting SPiritual warfare" HE's saying don't give them power. SO even if OCD is spiritual warfare, it doesn't stop the fact that ignoring it is the best way. It doesn't change the fact that the thoughts are always there. Imagine putting a megaphone up to your ear shouting things you don't want to think about or hear all day long. That's what OCD is like.
praying for my loved ones who suffer with anxiety & OCD. God can heal them! i pray for their salvation every day. ❤thank you for this message. God bless you, brother.
Three times I pleaded with the Lord about this, that it should leave me. But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 2nd Corinthians 12:8
From bible. Plans
I had a similar message from Jesus. "I have given you grace to figure this out" was the exact sentence. :)

Wonderful, life-changing and wholly Biblical sermon.
I have had OCD for many many years, dating back to the early 90s when I was 4 or 5. Started getting worse in my early teens when I began having unwanted sexual obsessions and compulsions.
Thought I was hopelessly lost. I could not get help for many years and was scared to get help for years more when I was able to. Finally started therapy earlier this year and want to encourage anyone with similar symptoms to believe and depend on Christ. You are loved far more than you can believe and Jesus will never leave you. He will be with you...always, loved one and dear friend.
@m ryan on the off chance that you get notified on this comment - do you have any advice? Any reputable support groups with Christians w/OCD that you can recommend?
I am struggling with this and it is about to kill me. It's not going for my hygiene, or my living space, or my job. It's going for my relationship with Christ. It's destroying everyone around me. It's unreal. Without a real miracle from God I don't see how I can survive much longer. Please pray for me.
Remember to serve him through this
Gosh, me too. I’m so sorry to hear that you guys are dealing with this as well.
God bless you.
So true
I'm so sorry, I will pray for you. God loves you dearly !
For all the people who are worried about this. Let me give you some hope. The great leaders of Christian faith had this problem. Martin Luther King had this. John bunyan ( the guy who wrote pilgrim progress) had this. Pastor Joseph Prince had this. Dan mohler saw this battle and the list goes on. And the assurance is they all came out of it. And because of their struggle they became so strong in faith that others were helped by them. You will surely come out of it.
Thanks, Definitely needed that
Thank u so much !!!!
Thank you,you gave me hope🙏🏼❤️
Beautiful. Well said...😎⛪
Wait,dont you think Martin Luther and not MLK ?
God bless you brother❤ Psalm 3 helps me with my OCD and anxiety. My faith has helped me. Praise Lord Jesus. I love Him
Thank you! God bless you
Hello brothers and sisters, I see my comment and many have liked it. Interestingly enough, lately I am discouraged. I am not trusting Jesus and am terrified I am sinning and perhaps think I’m not saved which now bring guilt because I know the Holy Spirit resides within me and I have seen him change my life.
Perhaps this OCD will never go away, I don’t know.
I have also seen some of my fears come true and that is what keeps me OCD-ing. I don’t want to ruminate and do compulsive motions. By the way- these compulsions lead to habits.
I take a mild anti depressant - doesn’t really help because I know it is more than that.
I think when I drank a lot and smoked pot ( thanks be to God I have been clean) it was to bury these thoughts and numb my brain. I wanted to feel good of course.
I feel guilt and shame. My OCD is rooted in coveting (That I know).
Someone please help me. 🥹🙏🏽😞 I read and meditate on scripture. I am OCD- ing right now as I type these words
These OCD blasphemous thoughts are a way to keep us from doing the Lords work. Rise up Christians give this to the Lord and work.
i almost had them

@@jmcc8718 works sustain faith but cannot replace faith. Rely on Jesus. All of our answers are in God's Word. Apply them in deed and truth. "There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man."
Warning for those who do not focus on the spiritual warfare: read the Word of God! Read God's Word over and over again until you all get what you truly have to do. Jesus is using His people so that He will set many other people free! We got to do what God wants us to do. We seek Him first in everything we do and we go and preach His Gospel to the nations! We go and tell many others about Jesus Christ; and baptize in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit all those who accept Him as their Lord and Saviour.
Hallelujah, praise Jesus!
God loves you through this. Thank him for his great mercy . Nothing can ever separate you from Gods love .

With me for my OCD I had an unhealthy extreme fear of God and it's sometimes I panicked so much that I broke down in tears.
Bro I have the same problem now I can’t focus on nothing I’m to scared any tips ?
@@cruspackyt8425 I’m trying to give you a recommendation to a very helpful video but somehow my comment is constantly being deleted.
@@cruspackyt84251 John 4:17-19 “17 Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world. 18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love. 19 We love Him because He first loved us.”
I have a testimony. I was attacked by the devil. And fell into a 4 month battle with EXTREME intrusive disgusting thoughts. I attend church 4 times a week and my pastor ministers me and tells me that its okay that God understands what I'm going thru without me ever telling him my problem. And ive been feeling better. The key is PRAYER PRAYER PRAYER AND CHURCH ATTENDANCE. Its a process that we break Gods work in our lives and he has to do it all over again... Which is the saddest and hardest part to accept. But believe me my attacks were 10/10 extreme!!! And God has been fixing my mind and thoughts... And now im feeling better. Dont tell God out loud you're having this problem this is what makes it worse!!!!!! Keep it in your mind and thru prayer and church attendance you will get better and God will deliver you. Im gonna copy and paste this in many videos to let u guys know that God can.implant a new mind in your brain.
This is fantastic and I’m so happy that you’re doing better, but I’d be careful telling people not to speak to God about what we’re going through. Keeping things in your mind is just bottling up pressure. We don’t have to be grotesquely specific (as God knows all things) but we can absolutely tell and should tell God with our voice what is plaguing us. If you don’t believe me, then tell me this: why would God (through James) tell us to confess our sins to one another for healing? If God says we should tell our brothers and sisters in Christ our struggles and sins (again not in extreme detail, that’s unnecessary) then how much more should we cry out to Christ, the One who can actually forgive and heal? Again, I am so happy for your progress and pray that you continue to walk in victory!!

somethings it’s best to pray in silent because out loud the devil can hear n increase attacks so I agree with her.
32:07 “OCD does not define you.” That blew my mind (as well as the 30 seconds before that as well)! He’s right! And OCD does NOT speak truth about my salvation, worth, etc.!
I have been struggling with obsessive compulsive thoughts for most of my life, but have just now started to seek counseling and medication for it. God is working in this sermon to in my sinful heart.
I've struggled with OCD too. I've found that the Bible is our most powerful weapon against OCD. After all, Jesus was tempted and used the Word against the devil. We are victorious in Christ!! God bless

Thank you for dealing with this topic. The reading thing is something that I struggled with when I was homeschooled. It has manifested itself in other ways in my adult life at work. For some reason, God saw fit to relieve me of much of my OCD for a period of time. For the last few years, I have had some real struggles with it. When it came back in full force, it seemed to be something that God used to make me press in to Him and His word.
I think that we often see ourselves as victims (I know that I have and still do at times). But, "the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds....."(2 Cor 10). Good word, brother!
That is true! I appreciated when you stated about God using it to draw you close to Him and His Word. I've found the Word to be the strongest weapon in this warfare. God bless!
You've really helped me, massively. What a huge relief I had and tears when I first heard this
This brought me to tears.
I have a son and a niece with ocd, both expressing in different ways (niece pure o, son oc). My other son is asd. I have cptsd. We all believe in God and want to follow Jesus but it's a tough road.
This sermon broke something off me... I will be playing it again so I don't forget, and living in the victory that Christ has won for me. It is only by His grace that I can show my precious loved ones how to do the same.
Please pray for us as I will be praying for all who struggle as well 🙏
Jesus loves all of us very much !!!!
I'm struggling with OCD and asking God for supernatural healing .I keep praying
We gotta always hang on for the rest of our lives and live day by day, no matter the moods swings or fears. Strive to be a better follower each day, strengthen our relationship and love for Jesus, work on killing sins, and be a good witness. When we get to Heaven one day, the fight will be well worth it. Jesus won't let us give up.
Please i am fighting with OCD for many years. Please if u can take a minute to pray for me. Thank you. God bless you all.
I prayed for you.
Could you pray for me? I’m struggling with OCD.
Pray for me also. Suffering 🙏🏾
You will get through this!

I'm so thankful for this video!!!! It's not about rules and regulations; it's all about Jesus. Thankful God has used you on this topic. I believe the Word of God is our strongest defense against the powerless enemy. Glory to God!!
Romans 12:2-3
And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
And you renew your OCD mind by feeding it with the word of God which is the bible and it has power to break any chain. There is nothing impossible for our God. Jesus heals the blind! Jesus cures and removes cancer. JESUS HEALS OCD HALLELUJAH!! We sing there is power in the name of Jesus for a reason. His name is above every other name amen.

I also struggle with OCD for 10 years now, I believe OCD is actually demonic attacks on both the believers and the non-believers! To the believers to torment and STOP them because they are a threat to them and to the non-believers to torment them and finally push them to commit suicide. The more research I do on OCD the more evil it looks, I truly believe now that OCD is NOT a "mental illness" (this is the BIG lie from these demons) but OCD is rather demonic attacks! It all makes sense...since my OCD started I've had SO MANY different demonic attacks, from vivid demonic dreams to physical demonic attacks! Here is our hope...our hope is our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ! Stay strong in your faith these demons want to stop us!
Compulsions. It’s going to make your OCD worst.

When Religion and OCD collides it is a Kind of torment that is Almost unbearbable. Know You are not alone everyone has unwanted intrusive thoughts some people are just better at Acting perfect. you are not alone! Check out Mark Dejesus he is a expert on the Field of Religious Ocd and Intrusive thoughts. AND he is a believing follower of christ.
I have had OCD for a while but never realised, since I was like 10-11. But at 13, it developed into something else - my worries and thoughts just got so bad. Two years and im now 15 and its still bad. During these two years I started to pray. It has kept me a bit grounded - but I really struggle alot. Before this huge thing, I never understood God’s word and I wish that I had trusted him first but now that im realising that it may be ocd im beginning to heal. God help me!
I am praying for you❤ hope you are doing well and you are not alone in this bate
I'm so sorry to hear your struggles, I'll pray for you! You are not alone in this, I also have OCD for 10 years now and I also for 6 of those years never knew what it was and always thought that I'm the only one with it, until I found out that it's OCD! Many with OCD felt alone before knowing what it was. I did a lot of research on OCD and the more research I do on this the more evil it looks! I truly believe now that OCD is not a mental illness but rather demonic attacks on us! We don't have to fear, we just need to stand strong in our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
Everyone here who is suffering from this, you are not alone!
Jesus knows your heart and he understands your broken mind!
He is still with you! Always!
Lord, I pray for each and every person here who is suffering! Please Holy Spirit, pour yourself into these people! Give them the strength to overcome the enemy and the peace to relax in your grace!
In Jesus Christ name I pray
Amen!!
its not who i am... simply awesome. thank God for your life bro, you pin pointed my issues
Thank you for this sermon. It is comforting to know there's still hope. :)
I need help for defeating my doubts and ocd, I need God to wins me.
Praying for you. God has good plans for you, don't give up! Reading the Bible is our strongest weapon against the devil. God bless brother
You got this!
You might feel like it’s over, It is NOT. NOTHING can kill you, NOTHING.
Pray but also learn about ocd . CBT therapy is good to learn

My scrupulosity OCD caused me to completely turn away from my faith for the past four years. I suffered so much guilt, shame and pain from my religious beliefs in the past that I thought it was just what a relationship with God was supposed to be like. I still don't believe God is good. People don't understand how agonizing it all is. I fully gave up my identity in Christ (which was my ENTIRE personality at the time), and was so confused when I immediately felt better than I ever had, my depression even went away, I was happy for the first time in my life. I spent the last four years trying to decide why I should ever go back if I am so much happier now.
I understand what you're going through and I hope and pray the Holy Spirit would move in your heart and mind and drive out any negative things the enemy is trying to plant into your mind. The devil is a liar and he just wants you to believe God is not good, but He is. He is so worthy even through our pain. I love You sister and I am praying for you❤❤
I also struggle with OCD for 10 years now and I could never understand what was happening to me because before that I was "normal" (in fact I've been a born again Christian even before my OCD started and was and is always passionate about the Lord Jesus). I started doing a lot of research on OCD so I can understand it better and I believe now I finally understand it! The more research I did (and still do) the more evil it looks! I now TRULY believe that OCD is NOT a mental health issue but rather demonic attacks on us to try and destroy our faith and our physical lives in many different ways, I believe Christians who suffer with OCD are actually in a spiritual warfare and these demons really want to stop us because we are a threat to them! For the non-believers who suffer from OCD I believe these demons are also out obviously to torment them with this "illness" and eventually push them to commit suicide. OCD is a lie I believe coming from the pits of HELL! The fearful and EVIL (unwanted/ intrusive) thoughts are NOT our thoughts, these demons want us to believe that it's OUR OWN thoughts so that we feel extremely guilty and embarrassed about it and THIS is what destroys us (this BIG LIE that most with this believe)!

I suffer from OCD severely. I have all sorts of blasphemous Obsessive Intrusive Thoughts of all kinds against the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit. I am desperately seeking for help now, because I believe I have committed blasphemy. So, I keep repenting, but the thoughts never ever stops, so I have to repent nearly every single second. My OCD has gotten so bad that I have to physical hit myself. I feel like dying, and my mind feels breaking apart. The therapist told me that I need to let those thoughts slip. But how can let blasphemous thoughts slip away when I can stop them? Am I not committing blasphemy by doing so? Help me brothers and sisters. Please pray for me.
devil has entrapped your mind soul in a hell, he is doing the fiery darts in you at you, the thoughts and getting u to stay ina mind cycle of hell,,,,,,,,,,,, THINK GRACE
I'm so sorry to hear that, it happened to me also before and to a close friend of mine in Christ, I have OCD for 10 years now and I could never really understand what was happening to me until I discovered 4 years ago that I have OCD (my OCD started while being a born again Christian, I've always been passionate about the Lord Jesus). I started doing a lot of research on OCD and the more research I did (and still do) the more evil it looks! I believe now I finally understand what it is! I DON'T believe it's a "mental illness" but rather DEMONIC ATTACKS (spiritual warfare) to STOP us believers because we are a threat to them! I've had so many demonic attacks in so many different ways since my OCD started...from vivit demonic dreams to physical demonic attacks! It is clear to me now that they use the OCD LIE to attack us and to DESTROY us! Don't worry about it (I know it sucks) but this is warfare! We just need to stand strong in our faith in our Lord Jesus! I'll pray for you indeed. Keep the faith and keep hope!
@@NiceIce923I’ve suffered since I was baptized as well. It’s been awful I don’t wish it on anyone. But just as I’ve had demonic attacks in my sleep just as you, God has also shown his beauty in my sleep. He’s given me a cool gift of dreams and I’m so willing to be used by Him even if it means fighting this “mental illness” to the grave.
@whoareyou7 don’t be afraid. Try to relax. When the OCD is beating me up I take a muscle relaxer to try to get some sleep. Just continue to remind yourself that it’s not you. It’s an attack on your mind from a force outside yourself. Blessings 🙏

Romans 7:14-16 King James Version (KJV)
14 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.
15 For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.
16 If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good.
in pure O the compulsion is the thinking itself, thats why its hard
Going through this right now. Seeking out help for it. Please pray for me.
Praying for you !, God is with you ! you got this!
Praying for you. How are you doing?
Glad finally this is being taught in church
Today I decided to get some help with my Obsession Mind. I am not Compulsive. My Christian Counselor told me this years ago.
My mind is always going over and over about my sins that I know I have repented for. Or I need to be a better Christian than I am.
I have ask my children over and over to forgive me of my past wrongs.
This needs to stop! 😔

My husband of 30 years wont come near me his OCD has gotten so bad. He stopped drinking 2 years ago and our marriage has changed drastically . He sleeps on the couch stays in the bathroon alot and works alot. Please pray for him. Thank you
So sorry my dear, I know Wat he is going through, read doctor Fred penzels ways of treating ocd, follow them as u try to seek God en surrendering to God
How are things going sister ?
@@Matthew.._ I think it’s time to end it .. nothings changed only worse.
@@tg5947 no, please look and turn to Christ. Find a true biblical church and turn to the trusted pastor for marriage counseling. Miracles can happen and things truly can change. I plead with you to obey God. There is not something better out there and this marriage is what was meant to happen. Move forward as a woman of God and focus on being the woman of God that you need to be. God will take care of you. I have OCD and I know that there is nothing more needed than someone who truly understands the thought process. The gospel is what saved my life and reminding myself of the truth in the word of God everyday brings me back to sanity. Look to wisdom from someone much older than I. There is help and there is a way of change.
The more he knows about his OCD the more he can overcome it. Please trust me when I say, he can overcome and get to a point that OCD is controllable.
This has Been a confirmation for me
Heavenly Father, thank You for Your love and mercy. Thank You for Your forgiveness and grace. Thank You for Your healing and restoration. Thank You, Jesus, for Your sacrifice. I pray that those who struggle with OCD, myself included, would be able to put to deaty the works of the flesh and be able to live by the Spirit. Lord, thank You for Your Spirit. Thank You that where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. Thank You, Jesus, for Your continuous healing, I pray that those reading this would be healed wholly and completely in Jesus' name. Amen.
Greater is He who is in us than He who is in the world. The spirit is willing and the flesh is weak. Every day we have to put to death the works of the flesh and be lead by the Spirit. If you need therapy, please find a godly therapist.
Amen
Pray for me I didn't commit the unforgivable sin I have ocd. I am scared I said something that is unforgivable pray my Gods Mercy I didn't
The lord will comfort you. If you want Jesus then Jesus want you. It's that simple. No one can come to Christ without Jesus printing them.
keep doing research and eat well. please keep going love you, also if your stuggling with doctrine watch, Dr. Gene kim
Megan Orsag
you have 2 Christians saying the same thing. Christians are not allowed to lie under any circumstance. lying is a sin.
make sure you repent and be willing to suffer what ever consequences you face for doing the right thing. make sure you are Baptized. make sure you remember to help the orphans and widows. make sure you pray always. make sure you HONESTLY talk to GOD and don't try to hide ANYTHING because GOD sees everything in your mind, memory, heart, etc. GOD already knows the worst stuff you have done.
have an honest but respectful talk with GOD about what's going on.
examine yourself and repent from any active sins. if you are not married then anything sexual is sin so you should stop those actions even if it causes you pain. I went through this and I had also gone through the fear of being too far gone to save. when I honestly repented I actively said I would rather die or live in pain than sin against GOD anymore in a sexual way I resisted any physical and mental urge I had. I had a fierce and real Spiritual battle where I felt a demon attacking me then I fell asleep tired and depressed because my heart and mind were set on living forever in pain in order to stop sinning against GOD. I honestly felt I could spend eternity in pain and I was heart broken but I wanted GOD in my life more than I wanted sin. I fell asleep and I saw what looked like angels in my dream. one angel looked like a Roman soldier and he stood next to me in front of a strange closet. the closet door was open and there was a "window to Heaven" in it but it was too high for me to see into. a mighty wind came down out of the window and engulfed everything around me and the Angel that looked like a Roman soldier. the wind was talking but I could not hear what it was saying I just saw the angel Roman soldier answering it. then the wind left and another female angel escorted me away. the Angel Roman soldier walked a different way and through a wall like a ghost.
when I woke up I know something important had happened but I didn't realize the angel that looked like a Roman soldier was demonic and I was enslaved through sin. when I honestly repented GOD heard my prayers and Freed me. every now and then I dreamed about the same Roman so angel watching me kind of taunting me. whenever I receive a sinful thought I remind the one behind it about their future in hell because demons don't have access to GOD'S forgiveness like we do. it was after I was freed from sexual sin that I knew I was not too far gone for GOD to save me through the sacrifice of the LORD Jesus Christ on the Cross. I had the same fears as you and I was probably worse. so if you HONESTLY feel bad and mourn about a possible eternity away from GOD then I HONESTLY think GOD is calling you to HIMSELF. GOD never rejects a contrite heart and that s what you have I honestly believe. Read GOD'S WORD and do what HE says. ❤️
pretty sure that if you feel bad and have a heart to want to repent then you haven't committed the unpardr sin. when you no longer care, worry or fear GOD is probably when a person has been turned over to a reprobate mind.
look at pharaoh and how GOD hardened his heart. I think this is what it looks like. Pharaoh saw the punishment of GOD on Egypt but each time he quickly lost his fear of GOD and even basically challenge GOD by chasing after Israel. the Pharisees had no fear of GOD. their interest was in self service.
when you can still feel remorse for sin and actively want to change/repent then you can still ask GOD for forgiveness. seek GOD with ALL your heart and mind and soul honestly and you WILL find HIM. HE promised this and HE doesn't break promises.❤️
Read Romans 6-10. Those chapters have gotten me through some dark times.
th-cam.com/video/V1SGGTWiIcM/w-d-xo.html bro listen to this it will help you alot
I am sad I was scared of demons before coming to Jesus and was scared of reading the verses on the unpardonable sin and I read it and it brought such horrible bad thoughts against all God. Has anyone dealt with this it is truly horrid :((((((((((((((( i dealt with it all ocd clean, numbers now letters please pray for me. :(((((((((( what do i do
i struggle with this too, do not be troubled God is faithful to you, spend time in prayer and Scripture, meditate on these things. Its sometimes my only comfort. Trust God, even in the midst of mental agony and angst.
Our Lord Jesus is coming.. I have pure OCD. I'm now having looping disturbing thoughts of all kinds as well. But I believe God will take all these negative thoughts away. I pray to him all the time...

I'm trying to help ☺. You can check out Matthew 12:31-32 and Mark 3:22-30 for reference ☺
Sorry, I accidentally replied to the wrong comment!
My OCD got so bad, I had to start walking away from Christianity. Too many mind games and mazes of doctrine. I eventually realized that there will never be enough belief, enough prayer, enough Bible study, enough faith, enough devotional time, enough witnessing, enough of any of it to pacify the guilt and sense of worthlessness that I was struggling with.
How are you doing Matt? I pray that you don't walk away. There isn't any other way worthy to be followed, even when it's difficult. Just like when Simon Peter said to the Lord "to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life".
I'm not sure that I have OCD, but struggling with very destructive thoughts about myself connected to my past; truck loads of shame, guilt, not being food enough, worthlessness, self-condemnation, depression and loneliness. It's not about doing enough, but learning to be a child, connect to Gods love and grace and receive it, to see ourselves how God sees us. The Lord is with you, He's faithful and He wants to teach you and carry you through this difficult time.
Helping me again 😢
True the do and don't. To discipline myself n didn't understand how to stop.😭
Please pray for me!

Jesus probably has alot of us who deal with ocd yet he still accepts us because we believe in him and have faith in him and we have repented of are sins and turned away from are sinful life. And have proclaimed him as are Lord and savior. The devil is just trying to lie to you with your ocd but remember this there not your thoughts. Only Jesus knows you're true thoughts and your ture heart and the devil doesn't and he never will cause we belong to Jesus. I know we all look forward to his return. I cant wait to see him ima be so excited 😇🩸✝️🐑
repent and believe in JESUS CHRIST as your Lord and Personal Savior
I have this and it started when I was a little girl. I have guilt because it is superstitious, coveting and idolatry (in my case). I am gaining comfort from OCD rather than God. For awhile I thought it was my thorn forever. Now, I don’t know what to think. I just don’t know.
Great sermon thank you so much.
After coming back to the Lord a few months ago.....my OCD has got 90% worse? 🤦🏼♀️🤷 O don't understand why
Don't dare leave God, continue praying to God as u avoid performing compulsions
th-cam.com/video/V1SGGTWiIcM/w-d-xo.html this might help you :)
Me too, I never really had it much before getting saved. But it only means you're in the battle and that you're saved and sealed for the Lord. Otherwise the enemy had nothing to fight against
Could be youre ruminating about it. No specifics so cant tell you. But one thing that will help is to learn about how ocd really works. I recommend CBT ERPT therapy articles on ocd.
Think of ocd as spiritual warfare. Satan is the accuser of the brethren. Lies from the pits of hell
Watch the film ¨The Christian´s progress¨, the part on Mountain of rules is very instructive.
I wasn't expecting a batman reference.
Pretty effective, though.
Plz pray for me because am struggling n worrying n its causing me not to want to eat at all 😭
Hello how are you doing with this issue? I prayed for you
Pretty much the same but not as before though am just trying to fight it through and thanks for your prayer really thankful

What a great man
Thank you 🙏. I have OCD.
I hate ocd pray for my heart to be kind and tender to the Holy Spirit and I am not unforgivable I know God knows I ask for this prayer before two weeks ago and God is not restricted by time. Please pray I won't be unforgivable either I adimot my ocd has caused my heart to harden and be bitter and horrible and my mind stiffnecked deeply stubborn and unyeilding I need help.
Megan Orsag, Remember that Jesus died on the cross for our sins, to pay for them in full and rose again from the grave. It is not God's will for you to live in fear. Trust in Jesus and his blood to cleanse you of all sin. His blood that he shed is enough to cover all our sins. Fear not, just trust in Jesus. He loves you very much. It may feel hard sometimes to trust in God but time after time we are encouraged to trust in God in the Bible. Seek to learn of the love God has for you. Jesus invites us to come to him and find rest for our souls.
Cherie Roe I really said something horrible I'm not sure Mark 3
I really don't knkw if I I did the eternal sin pray please for me I didn't and will not because I believe Jesus dies for my sins but if I did the one things that is unforgivable or will that's it I'm separated from Jesus. Jesus will reject m
@@Magicwitch777 , Jesus does not reject those who come to him( Look up John 6:37) I can see from what you wrote that you are dealing with fear. This fear that you are describing is not from God. It does not matter that what you said was horrible. I have said some pretty horrible things myself and we all sin and fall short in many ways.
The apostle Paul killed Christians before he came to Jesus in faith and Jesus forgave him. If the Lord Jesus can forgive Paul, he can forgive you.
I have myself dealt with fears and anxieties and I am still learning. One thing I have been doing is highlighing many verses about trusting God in green and in the Bible, there are tons of those verses especially in the Psalms. I have prayed for you that God would help you and encourage you and you will know his love for you.
This thought, the unforgivable sin, is, for certain, those who have heard the gospel for decades, and who still curse Christ's forgiveness. When they die, they go to hell, because they are saying intheir last hours I still don't want you Jesus. So, he's rejected Heaven, and the Holy Spirt's last pleas.
John Mitten please pray for me!!! I didnt refuse Jesus forgivenes
I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. 16 And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good. 17 As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me. 18 For I know that good itself does not dwell in me, that is, in my sinful nature.[a] For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. 19 For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do-this I keep on doing. 20 Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it
Thank you 🙏🏼 for this
They have just identified 4 mutated genes that cause OCD. It may be that it can soon be cured. I love God and he got me through the worst times with OCD, however he did not rescue me. Keep praying and thank him through it.
look into EPIGENETICS and how our bad and good genes can be turned ON or OFF in the womb and OUT of the womb, through diet but most importantly our thoughts and spiritual health. I have been HEALED so whatever gene may be present can be turned OFF, contact me id love to talk
PurelyBonniedotcom hey I would love to learn and hear more about the epigenetics
hey there, @@kuronomalin2392 so i would first HIGHLY recommend looking up Dr Caroline leaf on youtube. all her videos are great but start with any of them labeled Toxic Thoughts or something like that. also can look up Courtney Griffins Epigenetics and watch that 18 minute long video. Also, the bible teaches that there are generational curses passed down from sin and these can manifest in the physical realm (Dr Leaf touches on this) and i have seen and heard of many people being healed of various diseases etc. simply by recognizing and taking responsibility for/confessing and repenting of sins and their forefathers sins (this is biblical) . Start with bitterness for one and seek the Lord to reveal to you anything you need to know/see. Also see a 12 minute video called JACK FROST the Orphan Spirit on youtube.

Yea do tell more
Is it possible to have ocd on spreading the word of Christ? I really want to spread the word of course, but I don’t know where the limit is. In other words, I have texted a bunch of people I know about Jesus (hallelujah!) and I don’t regret it. I just feel like if I don’t text every single person Christian or not they are not gonna get to know Jesus because of me. I just don’t know if God is telling me to text these people, or I am. This gives me tremendous anxiety, and I feel like if I don’t text a random person from school about Jesus, they will not be saved, or God really wants me to text this person. I don’t know what to do and I am so confused. I want to complete Gods will. Any thoughts?
Also, any tips on spreading the gospel?
Bless you.. I have also struggled with this. Do not lose your passion for telling others about Christ.. but also get your wisdom, comfort, and peace come from the Holy Spirit.
@@coolcat9537 just tell them what you know
Check out Mark DeJesus's channel. He's great with this. It was liberating checking out his content. Maybe it could be helpful for you too. I admire your zeal, but please know that you can have confidence in your salvation. Jesus alone can save you, not your good deeds, and not your sharing of the gospel.
I realised that I shared a gospel I didn't even really believe. I told everyone that all they had to do was believe in Jesus and repent of their sins, but I myself believed that I had a whole host of duties along with having faith. That's just not true. We are saved by grace alone and through faith in Christ alone.
Moreover, obedience is great. It's lovely. It's beautiful, and it brings glory to God. But if you feel so encumbered and weighed down and anxious to do a certain task for the assurance of your salvation, you're working under the law. God loved you and saved you before you were perfect, and He did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power, of love, and of a sound mind. Lift up your soul to Him and cast your cares on Him. He doesn't only care for you if you preach the gospel, He cared for you before and He'll care for you afterwards. Just trust that you're safe, OK? Love you.
Also, please read Matthew 11:28.
I’m struggling with this too
Hello, can anyone suggest a online community for Christians with OCD?
th-cam.com/video/V1SGGTWiIcM/w-d-xo.html
Not quite what you were asking for but VERY helpful
Mark DeJesus is pretty good. He does live videos and Q &As on TH-cam and people comment.
Hey, I have problem. Im 19 yr old man. I dont know it is God telling me, the enemy or myself. I first felt fear about plucking eyebrows in the middle about a year ago. I didnt know it was God or the enemy. I felt fear it is a sin, but I didn’t believe it was a sin. Then I let it go or promised I wouldn’t do it again, not sure. Then I felt peace for about a week. Then same happened with shaving my beard, trimming nails, etc. That all is confusing me. It happens also when I am on instagram and whatever bible verse there is it says let it go, it is sin, then other thoughts become positive saying you have been lied to it was a sin, devil comes to steal, kill and destroy. Sometimes positive sometimes negative. It is all confusing to me. Even thoughts of blaspheming the Holy Spirit came in mind, that if I believe it is not a sin that I will go to hell. Like… I really dont want to blaspheme God or the Holy Spirit. Can I do all these things? Is God telling me not to do something or is he allowing me or it is the enemy or myself.
Forgot to mention, when I read article about collosians 2:20-23 I think, I felt immediate peace and joy, even started laughing of peace. Can it be God is saying to me I can do all these things and those are not a sin?
I don’t know if you’ll ever see this young man that you were not alone and the fact that you were asking these questions show that you were following God and that you love him and want to serve him and want to be his child because you already are God love’s you May the power of the resurrection and his ascension to heaven he has authority over all things grant you peace in Jesus name amen
Can you send the link to the article please? It will help a lot of people I believe
@@unitedmemes4505 do you have some problems?

I prevented most of my mental illness when I fell away from Jesus by just not giving a fuck and suppressing my feelings and not letting the fear of hell, doubt and worry, I was spiritually abused to the point where I went emotionally numb I have no love no care no joy no true feelings I have no clue what emotions feel like anymore I have no clue how to get back to god my seal is popped and I’m full of apathy depression spiritually dark and numb to anything good more just disassociated and detached from reality. I fell the fuck away and died inside I don’t even know if the pain I feel in my mind is a physical pain or emotional trauma. Overall my mind is empty

Neurotoxicity when he mentioned after infection ocd develops - just a thought .
Sorry but I don't understand why he mentioned batman and compare it to the Bible verse. It is not acceptable at all. I personally didn't like his speech about this matter. Maybe he is good in other speech.
So because someone likes batman they can't be saved ? You're part of the problem
I don't understand what he is trying to say 😑
I have an OCD commuting unforgivable sin
Let your thought go
God will prove you have not done that
The only unforgivable sin is not believing on Christ. Because without Him, we don't have forgiveness of sins. And with Him, all our sins are forgiven.
...Just in case you needed to hear that.

the silly panda army God bless you. This made me smile, thank you for this. Sincerely.
Please help! I believe in Jesus whole heartily. My sticky thoughts are doubt..... :( it just pierces through me to the core. My stupid mind is like a hamster wheel with the doubts just going round and round all day long what do I do. What do i do. Help please
This is a dangerous thing to say. I suffer from depression. I begged God to deliver me and my relief never came. It got so bad I put my pistol to my head. I know plenty of others who beg God to heal them without relief. A couple people I know committed suicide, including an uncle. This video only gives people a false sense of hope. I was promised if I have enough faith I'll be delivered. That lie drove me away from the church. You need to think before you speak
It depends on the person some peoples are spiritual some are mental
Does Hebrews 10:26 mean any sin we commit on purpose, can't be forgiven?
Nicholas Gulsby, I don’t think so. “Can’t be forgiven” puts limits on God. God knows our hearts and our struggles. He is loving and just. If one sins on purpose, definitively sinning on purpose, eyes wide open, rather than a fleeting moment of weakness, then he/she likely hasn’t grown and matured in the faith, perhaps never fully became a Christian. God is always faithful to forgive those who honestly are sorry for their sins.
I believe so, for what hope would any of us have.
I think that it means a pattern of sin with disregard of the conviction of the Spirit
kaitlyn pendleton What if I’ve done that? Or at least think so
Christianity is the cause of this distressing condition. Trying to live a holy life is impossible and unhealthy. The more you focus on holiness and trying to not sin the further away you get from peace. I left Christianity three years ago because it's a spiritually abusive system. I hope more people leave this awful cult.
Absolutely untrue. I suffer from OCD all my life, even before I became a Christian. OCD will always be there, no matter wether you’re a Christian or not. And the things you said about Christianity are also awfully, pathetically wrong. We are called to live a holy life because we love Christ, it is not what saves us. The Grace of God is. And it is the same Grace that gives us peace. Surely it is impossible to live a 100% holy life on ourselves, but we can with the help of the Lord. And even when we do sin we will repent. I have received a power like no before, and a bravery like no before, and a sense of peace and harmony like no before, ever since I became a Christ follower. Is my OCD still there? Yes. But at least now I believe I can beat it. I hope you leave your awful cult right now and come back.
I understand what you are trying to say. However Christianity is not about leading a "holy life" its about recognizing that we can't and that's why we need Jesus. Of course we may feel pressure sometimes to try and live up to some standard, but what we are called to do is turn from sin and follow Him. Believe me I know what it is like to feel caught up in trying to be perfect and it has really hurt me, but I know my feelings are not truth-God's Word is. That is what I am standing on. Jesus loves you and is waiting for you to come home.
@@unitedmemes4505amen ❤
@@nataliyalopez5603amen sister, I struggle with this too. But I know in my heart Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven. Leaving the faith will only put you in eternal hell fire! We aren’t holy. We sin. The battle is already finished. Jesus paid the penalty for sin man. Let him impute his righteousness on you. Not yours.
🙏
lol I feel like the existence of OCD in Christian’s disproves the ability of the spirit to protect believers. It literally contradicts the Bible’s claims that you will renewed by the transforming of your mind
This is a straw man.
@ no it’s not. When conditions such as OCD exist that force people to have ruminations about things they find deeply disturbing, and the rates of OCD are not eliminated let alone reduced in Christians, it’s a nice piece of circumstantial evidence that there is no Holy Spirit.
Religion doesn’t appear to really help mental illness; there are a ton of ways it can make it worse.
Signed a former Christian with ADHD and OCD.
@@Rory-co4vm no, the renewing of your mind doesn’t translate as you can’t experience mental states that are negative, much less mental illness. It’s the same argument as saying that as a Christian, you don’t have to suffer because you belong to Jesus Christ. People with physical ailments glorify God, and so do people will mental ailments. The latter, however, is something we do not understand fully. What we can be certain is that your argument is a straw man, and reads like cope.
People like yourself grow up on Christendom and fool themselves into thinking they were apart of the body of Christ when they never really knew Him or had the Holy Spirit.
@@Rory-co4vm again, a straw-man. The renewal of your mind is not an elimination of any sort of mental ailment that accompanies it, but rather, for the conviction of sin, and the changing a way of living to better glorify God. You have to improperly frame it, because you have a poor understanding of theology, and your misrepresentation of scripture is disingenuous, as well as dishonest.
People who go through physical & mental ailment very much glorify God; “My Grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.”
I think your appeal to being a former Christian is an outright lie, and I hope you get the mental and spiritual help that you so desperately need. Repent and come to Christ. God bless.
Religion and Science omg
I highly disagree with this pastor seek professional help, good therapy works!
Christians struggling with "OCD" or "intrusive thoughts" watch this: th-cam.com/video/dZcLCH7akr0/w-d-xo.html
I don't understand what he means by an unforgivable sin, because when Jesus died at the cross didn't he get rid of sin. It blows my mind that people believe they believe God can save them from sin, except for a few. I mean this guy even says that Jesus took care of sin on the cross. Something doesn't add up.
+Buster Don What he is saying is, some people have a fear in their mind of committing an unforgivable sin. They know Jesus has saved them but they struggle with connecting that dot with belief in how that applies to them. So they worry about that sin. Often those people will freak out and ask forgiveness from God over and over and over for long periods of time asking God to forgive them. They know God has but they just can't connect that dot.
+Buster Don The Bible does mention one sin that is unforgivable. It's the only one... Blaspheming the Holy Ghost.
+Samantha Thompson ok you got me there

+Buster Don It's okay! Not sure if you saw my previous comment, but you can check out Matthew 12:31-32 and Mark 3:22-30 for reference. Hope that helps ☺
Christ said let no man deceive you. Not even a guy who is trying to stop you from fighting spiritual warfare by calling it a mental disorder.
BeAsA Roze
The Bible talks about the mind of Christ. As give us the mind of Christ. Christ doesn't have ocd but ppl still struggle with anxiety so they should keep praying.
Spiritual warfare is SCRIPTURE. You CAN'T have Jesus without HIS WORD. Spiritual warfare is evident in both the old and new testament. Satan comes to steal kill and destroy. YOU better know how to defend yourself, that is why we have the full armour of GOD.
How can your prayers not work when Jesus says told us to pray without ceasing?
Jesus told the disciples that some demons are only cast out with fasting and prayer. So are you calling Jesus a liar?
Romans 3:4
“God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judge
Philippians 4:6
6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.
2 Corinthians 10:4 4(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;
That means addressing AND overcoming attacks.
BeAsA Rose, the bible doesn't say mental illness doesn't exist.
Saying mental illness and deformities are all spiritual warfare is like saying Demons give people diabetes.
Would you tell a person who had diabetes to stop taking their insulin, or tell a person who is blind to stop using their cane and just pray that it gets better?
God made people to help other people. So people who suffer with OCD were given it for God's glory.
I do have OCD, and it's horrible. I pray to God everyday and it doesn't go away.
Which leads me to this scripture.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Healing_the_man_blind_from_birth
He's not saying "Stop fighting SPiritual warfare" HE's saying don't give them power.
SO even if OCD is spiritual warfare, it doesn't stop the fact that ignoring it is the best way.
It doesn't change the fact that the thoughts are always there.
Imagine putting a megaphone up to your ear shouting things you don't want to think about or hear all day long. That's what OCD is like.
Jesus CONQUERED hell & death, but he can't heal mental oppression? Tell that lie to man oppressed by legion. Jesus heals point blank.
Ocd is an evil spirit. Cast it out!!
It could be to the non-believers and to the born again I believe it's demonic oppression (spiritual warfare).
It’s also a mindset developed by fear and rejection. Not just evil spirits we need love to heal the fear
