    I have OCD and Bipolar 1. I battle intrusive thoughts daily. 1 Corinthians 15:57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

    Even though I'm not a christian, I still get intrusive thoughts. I can't even tell them to others cuz I'm scared to talk about it with others.
    Thank you for this video. I feel good now ❤❤

      I'm so glad to hear it was helpful to you, friend! It's sad that we have not yet normalized talking about our deep pain. But if you have a friend that you trust, I would encourage you to open up to them. Or if you can, seek counseling so that you have someone to talk to. It really helps! 💜

    Yo I have thoughts that I really hecking hate like swearing,disrespecting God,being racist,insulting people,thinking of the most shameless thing that has to do something with me going through puberty and it interfere with my love for Jesus,disrespecting the bible,commiting sacrilege,saying another god's name in my mind.I've been fighting this for a long time and I feel like that these thoughts are normal-like I feel like these thoughts are sin but I feel normal thinking I have sinned through thoughts nowadays but I want to feel guilt as I did before with these thoughts.I saw a video that saying foolish thoughts are a sin so that video reminds me that my intrusive thoughts are sins because they are really blasphemous,that's why I repent about it until now.The thoughts really seem like it's from me,they keep popping out random times,I feel like I'm gonna keep on thinking of them,I really hate them.

      If these thoughts are plaguing you and they aren't thoughts you want to have, they are intrusive. God knows the difference between an errant thought you are not feeding and an intentional thought.
      If you have been struggling with these intrusive thoughts for years, then I would love to suggest that you seek assistance in helping you work through what is causing them and how to make them stop. Christians are allowed to seek biblical counseling methods and even use prescription medication if a doctor determines that could be helpful to you.

      @@sp0ttful661 I am so sorry this has been going on for so long! Truly, I would suggest seeking counseling to ease your suffering. There could be any number of reasons why these thoughts persist--including spiritual warfare, trauma (past or present), mental illness, etc. And those are things that can only be determined though therapy. Praying for you to find the right resources that will work for you in your area!

      @@sp0ttful661 My heart breaks for you, friend. I am sorry to hear that your parents aren't being supportive of your mental health. That is such a hard place to be in. Hmm...
      Are you a part of a good church that might offer free counseling or at least allow you to speak to a pastor? That could be an option if so.
      If not, then perhaps a healthy online Christian community would at least be helpful in getting some support (though that is not a replacement for therapy). We have a Discord server for 412teens that has a really wonderful group of kind, supportive teens that you are welcome to join. 😊

    Well said. This is a good teaching for adults, too, although I think this type of problem manifests itself in the teen/preteen years. Is the devil able to put thoughts into our minds directly? I hope not but will acknowledge the truth if the Bible indicates that he (or his demons) can do that. Thank you for this encouraging video!

    • @412teens

      A lot of intrusive thoughts are a result of anxiety, depression, or other mental health struggles. And yes, this can happen a lot in the teen and preteen years, but sadly, it can happen to anyone at any stage of life too.

    True, I had both sexual and blasphemous intrusive thoughts, and that came from my mind being corrupted by lust. I wouldn't watch porn, but I would think of sexual things, and these things made my mind very filthy, and thus caused bad thoughts. That and stuff I saw online really filled my mind with bad stuff. So from experience, SERIOUSLY be CAREFUL with the things that get in your mind. I am STILL trying to recover from this.

    What if I have intrusive thoughts about agreeing with the intrusive thoughts I had before?

    • @412teens
      @412teens  5 місяців тому +1

      Still sounds like an intrusive thought--but a persistent one. Maybe start taking some steps to refute those thoughts with reality

      What if I intentionally create sinful thoughts in my mind even though I don't want to agree with them? Is that a sin?

    • @412teens
      @412teens  5 місяців тому

      Then that is intentional and not intrusive. I'm not sure of the specific situation that you're referring to though. If they are harmful/sinful thoughts you desire to seek out then to dwell on them, then that is likely sin. If it's something like...you are thinking about how you had that thought and this helps you choose NOT to dwell upon it or to process why you're thinking those thoughts, then that would be a more helpful action and/or practicing self control over desires.

      Thanks, but I talked to a parson about it in more detail and he said that it isn't a sin. What he might have meant is that it isn't a grave sin. Also turns out that I might have OCD because it happens really really often and he said that „going to confession 3 times a week because of it is not needed“.
