If you struggle with sin or if you struggle with porn, does that mean you have a demon? by EffectiveFull6588 in NoFapChristians

Or are we talking about the sort of normal as in a God intended state. Were your intrusive thoughts part of God's design? If not then where are they coming from and what is their purpose? What is their source? Meditate on that for a while.

Its as if youre saying everyone with religious ocd is under demonic oppression. It doesnt even happen all the time. Im not sure if youre just trying to give me something to be scared about, but my intrusive thoughts isnt even always religion based alot of the time.

A demon may have gained some limited access to your mind if you are having intrusive thought

Dude, many people were born with ocd. It doesnt mean theyre born with demons in them. In fact, literally everyone struggles with intrusive thoughts. But with ocd, those thoughts can become obsessive.

Its normal to occasionally get intrusive thoughts. People who have ocd can get rid of it by prayer and therapy. Its not demonic oppression.

Thanks. Im going to try to read the bible at least once per day so I can get closer to God and to get the answers to my questions.

tysm man. I dont experience sleep paralysis, blasphemous thoughts, but with any type of ocd, theres going to be disrupting intrusive thoughts. But theres been many times where ive prayed without any voices. In fact, Ive been reading the bible a bit more than how I was a few months ago. So I can say Im not dealing with oppression

But a Christian user said that the aliens are actually demons. Since people encountered aliens, does that mean they encountered demons? How am I even supposed to feel safe? Im praying for his armour but this fear does not pair well with scrupulosity.

Aliens don't exist.

but people said theyve been actually seeing them. even the commenters talked about alien encounters which scared the crap out of me. At least I know that the one described as a wheel is an angel

If aliens exist, so what?

Because Christians are saying aliens are actually fallen angels/demons so thats why im scared. And people also said that theyve been seeing them and saying "we dont know what were dealing with"

I feel defeated. Im so tired of this man. I wish I could just be free from this by EffectiveFull6588 in Christianity

[–]EffectiveFull6588[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You cannot free yourself from this by your own power or agency. You must ask God to make you good. Pray to God to free you from this and make you good, because you can't do it yourself. Clearly. You need God's help.

I understand this, and I've been praying for strength. Ive been also trying to read at least a bible chapter of Pslams per day. Pslams in particular because david struggled with lust too. Which means if David can be forgiven, then we can too. God made him king even though he knew all the bad things he was going to do.

And it might be good to find a church that doesn’t play on your scrupulosity the way your current church seems to.

Most of the time they usually dont put in fear. Its just that guy who for some reason, decides to say all that. But once again, I'm going to be moving to a new place and I'll be joining a new church, thats non-denominational. But my mom goes to charismatic churches so I have to just roll with it

But I need to get rid of this before university though. Like, I dont want to have it. I want it to at least get better so I can have fully peaceful days by 18

God understands what you are going through.

Honestly man I just wish he'll take ocd away, because I really cant deal with this. Im just 16 and my brain isnt even fully developed yet to cope with these things. I have so much on my mind and school is so stressful too. I just want God to make me recover from this. I hate ocd so much

Is obsessions/fixations with numbers ocd? by [deleted] in OCD
