I AM GOING TO SHARE YOU MY LIFE OF OCD AND WHAT I WENT THROUGH AND HOW GOD CHANGED ME THROUGH IT. I LEARNED TO BE GRATEFUL NO MATTER WHAT AND PATIENT UNTIL GODS DELIVERED ME :)

Hi, my name is Brittany Odle I have been a Christian for 3 years now, it's the best decision of my life. I wanted to share with you my struggle with OCD. I felt the Lord wanted me to make a website to help you if your struggling with OCD: whether your OCD be cleaning hands, or fearing germs, lust, a fear of numbers, aggressive thoughts of hurting someone you love or anyone else, blasphemy thoughts about God, or anything else.

First, I'll start off with the reason I think that we probably got this in the first place. Either we wanted to be perfect, for me I wanted to be perfect because I had been told to often that I was nothing, that I'd never make it so give up, and I had trust issues that stemmed from broken promises, regrets, and being around bad things. I think ocd came about when we were younger when we didn’t know JESUS OR THE BIBLE so we had no help and didn’t know what was wrong we thought it was normal but really the obsession became a foothold; fear, worry, doubt, unforgiveness, anger, having a bad childhood, being bullied etc. but when we came to JESUS the truth came out and we found out it was an obsession we had fears, thoughts that tormented us.

Even though we were new born Christians and had the BIBLE we didn’t know what to read or what to do so were still stuck with this horrible thought process and realize only GODS WORD would help us but this problem we had in the world GOD could use for HIS GLORY TO HELP OTHERS. See God used this evil habit changed for good. For me a big part of my OCD has been over thinking, I constantly overthought things, like liking boys, I got so obsessed with them I would stalk them.

Another obsession that I had was when someone gave me their number I would question whether I wrote it wrong, it would probably take me an hour to get out of it. I would go so far as looking at each number checking if it was right than checking it again, it drove me nuts and what made it even worse was that I didn't really know Jesus at that time.
Before accepting Jesus as my Lord and Savior, I wish I knew fear was evil and bad ugh but I didn't and before I accepted Jesus in 2013, which is the best decision ever, like I said before, I wrestled with tremendous evils. There were times that I had strong feelings to kill my mom it was so scary, I was freaking out, it was a violent spirit making me do it but I didn't do it thank God. I didn't know what was going on I didn't know who the devil was, and I didn't know about being able to command the enemy to go away in Jesus' name to until I went to Church and they told me.

After accepting Jesus in 2013, that violent spirit went away. But that violent spirit tried to come back before I got married :( and tried to make me want to kill my hubby, ugh, not a fun thing to get, I was freaking out, ugh, see the devil tries anything to get us away from God. And there's other obsessions I dealt with, one was numbers, I hated even numbers and I don't know why, but I did, I was afraid of even numbers. An example of this phobia would be that I would get M&M candies and I always had to have odds or I thought I would die. Another phobia of mine was those scary story posts that go around online, that told me that I would die if I did not resend them, I was so gullible that I believed it. One time I didn't share one of those stories and I freaked out all night, but guess what? Nothing happened, that's a big one the devil uses to bring fear in us.

Oh, and I was afraid of the dark, sometimes I got so scared and I didn't really think God was there but now I know and believe what God says is TRUE, HE IS ALWAYS THERE FOR US! Another obsession I had was watching scary movies and I wish I never did, I recommend to you if you haven't watched them, NEVER DO, you will grieve GOD HOLY SPIRIT big time.
See, after watching those silly scary movies I was so scared of demons, and I didn't know that they would use that fear to torture me. Ugh, seeing those movies brought horrible fear. And because of those scary movies and my fear of demons, when I read Matthew I started dealing with blasphemous thoughts about God and the painful thing is that I wouldn't read the Gospels at all, but God finally took that away. Sometimes it tries to come back and I deal with the blasphemous thoughts sometimes because God is still helping me with them. So, I had blasphemy before accepting Jesus, and I didn't want to read that passage of the Bible about the unpardonable sin, fearing demons didn't help, but NOT ANYMORE, THERE UNDER OUR FEET, THERE LIARS, THEY WANT TO KILL US, I WOULDN'T WANT TO FOLLOW STALKERS. THEY KNOW US SO WELL. I FEAR GOD l, I REVERE GOD WHO CAN DESTROY MY SOUL, demons can't touch us.

I also had a horrible obsession with lust, and here's my warning, being a new born Christian, not knowing a lot about the enemy or the spiritual war that goes on around us, know this, the devil wants to destroy us before we can know the truth and he hides things from us, I didn't know I had a lust problem I thought it was gone, but man oh man I was tricked big time, I used to deal with an obsession of guys names constantly racing through my mind, you know that verse, if you look at a man lustfully, you committed adultery already in your heart? Yes, it's true, I started lusting over a guy in Church and I was married only for like 2 weeks and it would bring an obsession over him that lasted for like 7 months and I did not even know him, and the worst thing about it was that I was married, shame on me, please don't lust over human beings. People are Gods children, respect them, we should never look at another person and drool over them, this kind of evil, sick habit is disrespectful to God and to them, really when you lost your raping the person with your eyes, you wouldn't want that I sure wouldn't. Because of my sick lustful habit, I dealt with guy’s names for 7 months, then I dealt with blasphemy hardcore, but God set me free.

Isn't Jesus amazing, even though we dealt with things we didn't know or didn't care about, HE'S ALWAYS THERE FOR US. So right now, I still deal with blasphemy because I let it come back, so some days are good and some days are hard. My goal is learning to trust Jesus, sometimes I don't trust Him because this blasphemy thing is tough, but when it does go away for a while it's because I don't fight the thoughts, I let them go through. But I forget and go back to checking the thoughts and finding things to replace the thoughts because I get scared it’s me, WHICH DEEP DOWN I KNOW ITS NOT BECAUSE I HATE THESE THOUGHTS.

Sometimes I feel I said them, and that is the scariest thing, thinking Gods not going to forgive me just brings anxiety after anxiety. I'm going to tell you, that verse, prayer without ceasing is so true, see God wants us to rely on Him like we used to rely on our own parents when we were younger: mom I'm hungry, mom can I play, mom I need a hug, mom I love you, mom can you help me. See God wants us to rely on Him like that, it says only faith like a child will enter heaven in Luke 18:15-17, because children will rely on God in EVERYTHING: Food. Shelter. Thoughts. Rent. Homework. Etc. We need to be like children with OCD, like when you don't want this thought, you need to ask God things like, "please help me I hate this thought please take it away, thank you for taking it away!" It’s called prayer and supplication.

So, praise Jesus when these thoughts come, pray for HIM TO TAKE THEM AWAY, and thank Him for taking them away and for dying for you. And thank Him because He is always with you, you are not alone, your sins are forgiven, so you can have a relationship with the precious Father, who can help you now, so thank THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. I learned a lot by reading this. Read Philippians 4:8, Gods going to help us understand through my hubby on YouTube, God used him for other videos. Just remember, Jesus, I, and my hubby are here. I was so sick of focusing on myself, I want to help others, I want to show you that you are not alone and that Gods always here for you

Rely on God like you relied on your parents for everything Praise JESUS FOR HOW AMAZING HE IS, SETTING US FREE FROM sin and death and giving us life, He died for what we couldn't die for because we sin and HE CAN'T HE'S GOD SO HE CAN'T sin. Thank JESUS FOR GIVING HIS PERFECT LIFE FOR YOU AND FOR TAKING OUR WRETCHED LIFE.
Ask Him to help you. Give Him Everything, cast your anxieties on Him because he cares for you. I know sometimes it’s hard but it’s possible, God can do the impossible. He will give the way out I really feel the way out is Prayer. Pray without ceasing.

LOVE HIS COMMANDMENTS, THEY SHOW US WE NEED A SAVIOR AND THEY'RE RULES THAT PROTECT US FROM THE EVILS THAT WE DON'T WANT DONE TO OURSELVES.

Make a journal like a prayer journal, I sometimes do that, I say God I don't want these thoughts their torture, God even wrote a song through me called Polluted Mind.

DON'T FORGET WHAT GOD DID FOR YOUR forgetfulness is the devils trap

LET GOD FIGHT THE BATTLE FOR YOU, REST AT JESUS' FEET LIKE MARY DID, DON'T BE LIKE MARTHA WORRYING ABOUT THINGS OF THE WORLD, WORKING, JUST LISTEN TO JESUS HE'S THE WAY, TRUTH THE LIFE.
