As my posts reflect, I've been struggling with blasphemous thoughts of the flesh lately.

I've overcome them, I now think in my mind " God does not have Satan in him! ", but then intrusive thoughts come into my head such as " You really think he does have [ the evil one ] in him! ".

I can't get over these thoughts. I've prayed, it's just hard.

I do not believe God has [ the evil one ] in him, it's just these thoughts are so convincing. They make me feel like I'm condemned. They make me feel like instead of thinking " God does not have Satan in him. " I'm thinking that he does.

I do not believe these thoughts, they're just so convincing, they make me feel like I'm condemned. They get worse and worse every day.

Any tips or advice? Sorry I've been posting about this so much lately, I'm just terrified.

passion, you need to remember that good and evil CANNOT co-exist!! Evil MUST flee in the presence of good. Whenever you think these thoughts, banish them immediately and bind them up. Keep the faith and good luck. :)

Hi passionforguitar
remember when I told you in the other post to develop a prayer life.
once you know GOD I don't think you will have this problem anymore.

Let me try to make an anology:what I mean by analogy is I'm going to try to describe what I'm trying to say by relating it to something else.

Lets say if you have a friend(Bill) and you know him very well,then one day as you are sitting down with time on your hands,just taking it easy and someone(Joe) comes by and starts talking to you and your friend Bill comes up in the conversation.
Joe starts telling you things about Bill that you know(that isn't the Bill that I know)after a while as you talk to Bill you will see that Joe is just telling lies on Bill and you wonder why.
Bill has always been honest with you,so it would be easy for you to dismiss what Joe is saying because you know that Joe must have some shady reason for telling lies on Bill.

In other words you know Bill is true and Joe is not.
How do you know this.
Because Bill has always been honest and you know this by experience too.

If you keep getting these feelings its because you are letting what the devil says to you be considered as truth when you know its not true and you know GOD is true,and GOD is love.

You got to pray to Gods Precious Loving Holy Spirit to remove these away. I deal with this but dont be scared of the thoughts come worse you got to. Use Gods Word and rebuke the thoughts in Jesus Name. I just dealt with a horrible attack you know why we deal with it becausw it humbles us, gets us closer to Jesus ♡♡ and glorifies Jesus. You can help others let awesome Abba Father USE you, HES IN CONTROL♡♡♡ also write down your battles.
The battle. When and how long. What happened. What did you do? Complain or praised Jesus our Lord and use His Word. And what was the lesson. The battle i just dealt with was helll oh wow but Jesus got me through it by not being scared of the thought and crying out to the Precious Holy Spirit to remove the thoughts. Oh how i love Abba Father Hes so faithful. Just rejoice i this suffering brings patience, perserverence read JAMES 1. Rememner these thoughts are not you. Do the 3 RS 1) Recoginize- who its from 2)reject if Jesus never said it by using the Word of God to the thought read 2 corthians 10:5 sumbit the thought to make it obedience to Jesus Christ. like a thought saying Gods mad at me no thats a lie 3)Replace the thought and say its written God loves me with an everlasting love. I am ugly no thats a lie say God said You are fearfully and wonderfully made. Use Gods Word the most powerful WORDS in the world. I have been dealing with ocd for 3 years i am getting it. You can get through it. You dealt with it before rught has God ever failed you by letting you fall?? Nooo so trust in what God says. God didnt give us a spirit of fear but POWER AND LOVE AND A SOUND MIND ♡♡♡♡♡ He didnt give us a power of disobience where we wont submit to Him He gave us His Precious Power to fight this. We already have victory, through Jesus Christ His Son. Take hear He already overcame the world. World meaning all evil. We should not fear, worry, doubt, be confused, have unforgiveness Jesus destroyed all that by His Precious Blood spilled for us on calvarly. I am here for you. Gods not mad at you. He loves you He knows what your going through.
I love you guys TRUST IN JESUS HE ALREADT WON THIS BATTLE. THANK HIM AND PRAISE HIM YOU ARE VICORTIOIS THROUGH HIM♡♡♡♡

Jesus has me submitting the thought too like Jesus this thoughts against you Please help me i dont want to sin against you. Please take it away. < this is being fear of hurting Jesus which is what we are supposed to do. FEAR OF GOD LIKE you fear police oh man i dont want to get into truoble i better not do that be afraid Of Our God Almighty Jesus Christ like that only Hes our judge not the police their not our judge.
