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.
God Looks At The Intent Of The Heart. Anything Can Drop Into Your Mind. Renew YOUR Mind With The Word. But Don't Let Intrusive Thoughts Cause You To Fear.... Answer That Door With Faith. Love You All & God Bless .....
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.
What if they've been just plaguing me for 34 days?Like it's non stop,I repent all day.And if another thought pops up what should I do?I sometimes misshear words into something awful,I also read words instanly,not knowing it's a swear word and I repent for it aswell.And what should I do if they finnaly stop?Thanks for the advice btw
@@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!
@@412teensIs there any way I can do It at home?Sir I'm just a kid and my gaurdians don't have time and one of them doesn't like me showing that I'm sad like I always have to smile-I'm getting better now anyways thank you for praying for me too
@@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!
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.
I’m struggling so much with sin and religious ocd. I feel like I’m in a steel trap and I constantly feel awful, have to pray, and then feeling live I’ve sinned when I haven’t. But I also can’t tell if the Holy Spirit is convicting me. I would like my name in the book, to follow Jesus, and more! I just don’t feel happy anymore being a Christian, and feel awful doing fun stuff because I feel like I’m sinning. Like when I tease, wrestle, eat, etc. does anyone have any advice? I believe in Jesus, but I just don’t know if I’m going down the side or narrow road. Especially with my struggle with sin and religious ocd.
I'm so sorry you are struggling in this way, friend! Please know that all believers go through these times, and it is a part of us strengthening our faith as we explore those doubts and questions.

I've struggled with intrusive thoughts for around 5ish months now, and it's been really tough... They started out randomly, but recently something else has started happening. I do sports and recently whenever I loose I'm bummed (nothing like raging or anything), and then those awful insults to God start coming into my mind. Are they still intrusive thoughts then? I still don't want to think about them and insult God's holy name like that. But I don't really know what to make of them right now... The intrusive thoughts have caused emotional numbness and it's also taken a toll on me... Another example is when the Holy Spirit convicts me of something, my mind thinks of all these horrible thoughts against the Holy Spirit which I don't mean... Are they still intrusive thoughts?
Those may very well be intrusive thoughts! How do you respond to those thoughts? Do you recant and ask God for forgiveness? Do you dismiss them because you know they aren't worth thinking? Do you allow yourself to dwell on those thoughts and entertain them?
@@412teens unfortunately I only learned recently that I'm supposed to just dismiss the thoughts, but I usually just respond in my head, "that's not me." and try to move on. It is still difficult to do that sometimes, but I try my best!
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“.
@@matejminarik9040 I'm glad you got a chance to talk to someone in detail! It's hard to make any kind of determination on something like that through a comments section. ;) May God grant you wisdom as you seek to live your life for Him.

Haa 😭
Dear friend, I am so sorry that you are experiencing this. That sounds awful. I want to encourage you that God knows your true heart and will not misinterpret or misunderstand what's going on. If this is truly OCD, then it would make sense to seek professional help or, at the very least, talk to a trusted pastor who may be able to help you work through these thoughts and what may be causing them. We have some resources on religious OCD here: 412teens.org/qna/what-is-religious-ocd.php - I hope this is helpful!
I think God l LEFT me I have faith But i think God left me I'm struggling with BLASPHEMOUS thought thoughts Right now I feel God left me and Holly spirit Something coming to my mind That DISRESPECT my lord everyday every night Ever school And they say i don't believe in God But i believe in God I think Goddd left me Saying i love the enemy but i don't love the Enemy
Remember that God knows the difference between errant, intrusive thoughts and your true heart. He will not misunderstand you or your words; He is wise enough to tell the difference (Romans 8:26). If you feel you've misspoken in prayer, it's OK! God knows what you meant (1 Corinthians 8:3; Psalm 139). Talk to Him and tell Him what you're really thinking. God does not leave those who love Him. Here are some proofs from the Bible: Deuteronomy 31:6: "Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you". Hebrews 13:5: "I will never leave you nor forsake you". Psalm 9:10: "You, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You".
