what is OCD

Its obsessive compulsive disorder. I obsess over things most of which I do not want to. It's a constant nagging in my brain that constantly condemns me and makes everything a moral dilemma. It interrupts any good thoughts with uncontrollable bad ones.

Yeah this it unfortunately doesn't listen to me so putting it to good use seems unlikely.

Put that OCD to work...... see it as a gift from God. Use your OCD to memorize scriptures.

Start with Psalm 119.

Read it, write it, sing it over and over.

I did read the bible a bit today and it was helpful so I'll be doing that more

It’s VERY possible with God. Please try to memorize Psalm 119.

Think of Psalm 119 as your daily medicine. Just 3 to 5 verses a day or more if you can. You got this!

I'm reading psalm 119 and I'm already having issues 😣

I'm reading psalm 119 and I'm already having issues 😣

"Blessed are those who's ways are blameless" this type of verses literally drive me insane. My ways are they blameless? Am I doing things that are bad but I justify them by saying "Other Christian's do it" or by doubting it even if I do it and it's not sinful than me doubting it makes it sinful? Paul says we should be fully convinced in all we do. I don't feel that way about absolutely nothing. I doubt literally everything if that's the case I cannot ever be saved because everything has a question mark at the end of it

I just said Psalm 119 because it’s the longest one and would keep you busy.

Perhaps try Psalm 23.

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

Excellent! What is happening to you is normal with God’s Word. It’s a mirror- we get to see ourselves without Him in darkness, then He leads us out of the darkness into His marvelous Light and shows us our life with Him. God loves you so much! He knows your struggle and wants to give you victory.

The writer of Psalm 119 loved God’s Word and struggled with his sin yet, he continued in God’s Word and delighted in it. It changed him. It will set you free!

Keep going......... God’s Word will help you with your OCD.

So what can I do from here? Are the things I do bad? Will he let me know without driving me insane? Because I still can't tell where the condemning voice is coming from...

Condemning voices are NEVER God.

God’s voice corrects us, not condemn.

If you feel condemned, just say:

“Lord Jesus, I choose You to be my Savior and Lord over me. Anything in me that is not pleasing to You, take it away from me. Forgive me for all my sins, wash my sins away with Your blood.

Teach me to walk in Your ways, help me to love you, speak Your peace to the storms in my mind. Thank You Jesus.

Cleanse me and fill me with Your Holy Spirit - the same Spirit that raised You from the grave. Thank You Jesus, amen.”

Well that's good I gave up on a game I was working on before because I felt condemning and it felt better when stopped it. If that's the case it was just my brain doing it.

What game were you working on?

What was it about that game that made you feel condemned?

Well the game was about monsters (I'm a fan of horror) Dont know perhaps I went far with the artwork 🤷‍♂️ dont know. I just didn't feel right. Maybe someday I can go back to it but until than I'm dropping it and working on other projects.

 

[Lafftur]

I would love to work with a game designer/developer and create a video game based on the book of Revelations.

Things in our world do have evil spirits attached to them. If you feel like demons are jumping on you with one of your games, put it away from you. God does not talk to us in an accusing tone, that comes from the dark side.

Feeling helplessly attached to our sinful ways is also common. That is the reason for grace. Our righteousness is imputed to us by grace, then we just follow the Spirit of Light into a fellowship with our Lord. It's a process. We are praying for you Koji.

I’d drop that game definitely. You were right to do so.

Yes I've gotten rid of bot card games and video games because of demons. thankfully I can get rid of stuff if I need to. It's just difficult sometimes.

Yeah I have plenty of other things to work on. I also need to be more careful of my artwork. I go to far with it and dont realize it until I share it with others.

Focus on biblical artwork..... what was so frightening to the disciples on the boat when in the storm they saw what they thought was a ghost coming towards them on the water......

Try drawing what they saw......Yeshua/Jesus glowing walking on the water coming towards them..... Peter wasn’t even sure if it was Jesus.....
