I'm not saved right now,but have been in the past,I am worried cause I Get these bad thoughts in my mind against God,and I Know I Don't feel the way the thoughts are and I Can Not control my thoughts anymore I Feel overwelmed now and dont know what to do about it,its like when it first started and that thought that come at me I Paniced,The more I tryed to get my mind off the thought the more I Heard it in my mind,I Love God,and I know i need to pray again but what if the thoughts never leave me alone?
Will I go to Hell if I can't get control back of my thoughts?
I Really don't know what to do,I Feel helpless and depressed over it.

R2008...Can I ask you, when did you know you were saved, and how did that come about? And why do you think you are not saved now?? I'd like to know as it may help me answer your other questions.
Thanks.

R2008, I'm concerned for you! Don't be scared or worried. Just read on...
Let me say this first, that God loves you know matter what! I know I already told you this in another post, but it sounds like you need the encouragement. You've made a step in the right direction by coming to this forum and voicing your feelings. It takes courage.
Those voices of doubt in your head may not be your own. The devil is the great deceiver and could have you thinking you're not a Christian, when in fact you are. This sounds kind of weird, but it's possible. He loves that he has confused you. He's most likely placed those seeds of doubt into your mind in an attempt to keep you from a relationship with God or doing what God has prepared you to do. I believe that you feel like the thoughts are not your own and that you feel you can't control them maybe because they are not you own. You would be surprised to know that this has happened to many Christians. In fact, I've only heard accounts of this type of thing happening to Christians and have experienced something very similar myself, so I understand. Don't be frightened by this, just ask God for protection from this spiritual attack.
I believe, and I've heard others also say, that those who have the potential to greatly impact the world according to God's agenda, those who God has given many gifts of great value, are prime targets for Satan's attacks. He tries his best to keep us from furthering God's kingdom, especially when we are at a spiritual crossroads in our life. He probably knows your capability and sees you as a threat. So, you should actually be encouraged by knowing that he is threatened by you! My advice is to be persistent and consistent in developing a relationship with God. See him as your Father and ask him for his help. He will help you. It may not come in form that you would like it to come in, but he will help you.
When you have those "thoughts" start reading the Bible. Don't argue with it, just command it to stop in the name of your father and continue praying and reading the Bible until it does stop. It will. Have faith and love your Father. He will be there for you. He will not turn his back and neither will you brothers and sisters in Christ. In fact, you should go to an elder in a church or a pastor and request a private meeting ASAP. Confess what you have been feeling and your experiences. Chances are that the person will have had a similar experience and be able to help you through this time of turmoil. If not, go to another pastor. Or maybe you have another Christian mentor close by you can speak to about this? Make sure that you have someone you can talk to when you having these planted thoughts. Don't panic, instead turn to God and throw yourself at his mercy.
But, whatever you do, do NOT stop seeking God. He will get you through. Again, please let me know if you feel like you need to talk to someone and don't feel you have anywhere to go, I'll do whatever I can to help. After all, as Christians, we are family!

Good to see you again!! 
First of all, I have some good news. Just because you're not living a Christian life doesn't mean you're not saved. And actually, I would say that since it matters to you so much, you may well still be saved. If you weren't saved, I think it wouldn't matter to you.
None of us are perfect (yet), none of us live 100% of the time as we ought to be living. Being a Christian doesn't mean you automatically get it right all the time, it just means you've come to Christ for forgiveness and have asked Him to start to process of making you holy.
It sounds, from what you've said, like you may have some painful issues from the past, and maybe the bad choices you've made are because you haven't yet dealth with those issues and been healed from the damage they did. Have you ever had any counselling for these things, from a trained and qualified professional? Also, have you seen your doctor recently? I know you've posted before and mentioned that you have some mental problems and are also disabled. Are you on any medication for your mental problems? I was wondering what your physical and mental handicaps are, if you feel comfortable talking about them here (if not, then don't worry), as it might help us to know what you are dealing with in terms of your disabilities.
Are you attending church at the moment?

Hey there... Listen.. I've failed so many times. Fell back into things that are bad.. I struggle. I fail.. daily... My struggles may not be what you struggle with.. But I have them.. I can have times when I'm doing pretty good.. I feel all Holy and right.. Then there are days.. many many days where I ask myself.. How could I do that again? How could I truly be saved? The bible says that our best days are as filthy rags anyway.. The thing for me is this.. I ask that you search this for yourself.. When I was lost I could sin sin and it didn't bother me.. I ran to sin.. Now... I can sin alright.. And yeah.. I may even act is if I'm running to it at times.. but you know what? It bothers me.. God never lets me stay there.. I've known the peace of being close to Him. It's awesome.. I know the feelings of having purpose and serving Him.. And I know what the pig pen feels like as well.. I still find myself there at times.. This life is a struggle.. It's hard.. Satan will throw everything he can at you.. The bible tells us to examine ourselves to see if we're in the faith.. Maybe thats what your doing right now.. But I know this.. Jesus Christ loves you.. right where your at... right now... Maybe just the fact that your on here asking questions is that pull of God... saying.. " I love you... your my child.. dont go back there again." I'm going to pray for you.. Phil 4:19

This post is absolutely beautiful and so true....and it was deffiantely one that I have been needing to read! Thank you. I was saved 17 months ago, and I have been walking one firey trial now for about 7 months. I was faced with a divorce, one that I didnt want, I prayed and prayed that God would stop it, and touch my ex husband, I believed and trusted God to heal our relationship, when everyone else said, "Abby, accept it, its over with him, I still believed!" I really felt as though God let me down, and then I was attacked with horrible thoughts that were not mine, angry toward God that I knew was not me....and I had to continue thinking about Job! Even today, I still struggle with alot, but God is healing my heart daily, and it hasnt been easy. I know the Lord has a great plan for my life, but I have to stay in faith, and allow Him to carry me through this time in my life.....He has never left me, and I know He never will! Thank you for this post, its very encouraging.
Abby

I'd like to add to this a little with hopes that R2008 read this and other replies posted here.
Have you ever thought about what "born again" means? Or the signifigance of the cross through and through?
Being born again isnt forcing yourself to live by a code or law. It's not maintaining this ever-growing check list where you constantly observe and filter and govern each thought, word, and action to make sure it "passes" the God test. Scripture makes it clear that no one can do this. If we could, the cross would be a hoax. I do undersetand however, that we do have a responsibility for our actions, but trying to reconcile that into the bigger picture of life is a loosing battle. Two words....let go.
With that said, being a born again, the experience, is letting go of this deceptivley relevant struggle to bear the weight of our thoughts, actions, and words. When you have a certain thought thats paticularly nasty, crude, or harmful, let it go. Dont give that thought power by dwelling on it. THis is giving a variation of the same thought, a back door to get back in. Now understand, that in the bigger picture, Christ has taken that weight from you.

And how does this suggestion line up with;
(2Co 10:5) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
Seems at though Scripture here is telling us to bring every thought into the obedience of Christ.
That does seem to be at odds with your flippant attitude about thoughts, actions, and words.
Thanks

Hi,
You're not rambling at all, and Im so sorry to hear about your friend, Im sure thats been very hard for you. And I think we have all had days, where we think we cant go on another day, but only the devil places those thoughts in our heads, thoughts about taking our life..... God doesnt do that....even I have had thoughts like this, but they are all lies from the devil. Just read God's Word, meditate on it and know that you are in my prayers.

Hello R2008
I bet you got saved and thought that was all there was to the Christian life. Nothing could be futher from the truth. Let me say, first of all, that God never withdraws His gifts once they are given to someone. So, salvation is still yours. It belongs to you. Don't let any thought or person tell you otherwise. I would like to see you think a lot on Ephesians 2:8. It says that you were saved by grace through faith. And it is a gift of God.
Now what about your Bible study? Do you study it daily? If you will do this, faith will start to arise in your heart and mind. You will start to see who Jesus Christ is. I always advise people to start at Matthew and read through John and repeat this series several times. Then read Acts and the Epistles. After that, start in Genesis and read forward. Avoid Revelation until you are well grounded in what you've studied, unless you want to study the final three chapters.
As to your thoughts. You are saved and now have the authority to insist in the name of Jesus Christ, that your thoughts will be centered on Him.
Finally, you might think a long time on Romans 8:1. It says, "So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus." You are saved and belong to Jesus Christ. There is no condemnation any more.

A friend spoke to me of a similar thing when she read the Bible. She said that thoughts such as Jesus was gay, and unwanted thoughts would enter her head. She was shouting at the devil, at these times. I told her first, stop talking to the devil, secondly, use the amour of God, using scripture that contridicted these thoughts, and know that the devil uses mind attacks.

OK, I know what a colostomy is, I have a friend who has had one.
quote:
I Do go to Church but it has been a while,
How long is it since you've been? It would *really* be a good idea to go back soon! Was there a problem with the church you went to before? It can often help us if we go to church when we don't actually feel like it.
quote:
I've seen my doctor on my battle with depression he had me on 250mg of depakote and 50mg of steraline for PTDS,I Quit takeing them case it made me feel worse,but now I May go back and see him and check and see what other meds might help me that wouldn't make me feel as bad
I would definitely recommend that you go back to the doctor and talk to him about how the meds made you feel. How long after you started taking them did you start to feel bad? And what symptoms did you have?
It would be good to see your doctor sooner rather than later because then you can hopefully get established on them before you see the counsellor on New Year's Eve.
quote:
I've had thoughts of dieing but I Know I'd Never go threw with it,
Robert, those thoughts could easily be from the chemical imbalance causing your depression, so really and truly seeing your doctor, and getting some different meds might really help you not have those thoughts any more.

Sorry that you lost your friend Robert. That must have been very difficult for you. It would be good to talk to the counsellor about that when you see them.
Do you have a job at all? Or perhaps do any voluntary work?

I know exactly what you mean by your post, when I first got saved and was reading the Bible, I had some HORRIBLE thoughts....thoughts that were not mine, thoughts that I never even dreamed about having even before I got saved, and they were thoughts that I would not dare post.......and they were all from the devil himself!!!

I think it happens to most of us. My friend felt led to talk to me, and once she expressed it, quit shouting at the devil calling him stupid, and such, it stopped.

At first I WOULD NOT even discuss it with anyone because I was ashamed of the thoughts that were going through my head, and I was in disbelief of it...they were horrible, and I just was not going to speak about it, until one day, my aunt was over, and me, her and my mother were talking about the Lord, and my aunt said, when she first got saved, she dealt with some bad thoughts and most of the time it happened when she was reading the Bible, she went into detail about these thoughts, she everything she described was everything that I had dealt with....it really amazed me, so it was then, that I opened up and explained what i was going through. It was like God had set that meeting up with us, and allowed her to share her story with me, to assure me that I wasnt going crazy. To this day, I still will not mention some of them, they were that bad.....but praise God, I dont deal with that anymore!

AbbyGrace, I am so glad I think one of the enemy and his tatics, is to make us think we are crazy, bad and the only one. Praise the Lord you are free.

I think it happens to most of us. My friend felt led to talk to me, and once she expressed it, quit shouting at the devil calling him stupid, and such, it stopped.

A friend spoke to me of a similar thing when she read the Bible. She said that thoughts such as Jesus was gay, and unwanted thoughts would enter her head. She was shouting at the devil, at these times. I told her first, stop talking to the devil, secondly, use the amour of God, using scripture that contridicted these thoughts, and know that the devil uses mind attacks.
I know exactly what you mean by your post, when I first got saved and was reading the Bible, I had some HORRIBLE thoughts....thoughts that were not mine, thoughts that I never even dreamed about having even before I got saved, and they were thoughts that I would not dare post.......and they were all from the devil himself!!!
At first I WOULD NOT even discuss it with anyone because I was ashamed of the thoughts that were going through my head, and I was in disbelief of it...they were horrible, and I just was not going to speak about it, until one day, my aunt was over, and me, her and my mother were talking about the Lord, and my aunt said, when she first got saved, she dealt with some bad thoughts and most of the time it happened when she was reading the Bible, she went into detail about these thoughts, she everything she described was everything that I had dealt with....it really amazed me, so it was then, that I opened up and explained what i was going through. It was like God had set that meeting up with us, and allowed her to share her story with me, to assure me that I wasnt going crazy. To this day, I still will not mention some of them, they were that bad.....but praise God, I dont deal with that anymore!

Heavenly Father
Thank you for Robert. Thank you that you know Him deep down inside, and that you understand everything that goes on inside his mind. I pray Lord that tonight Robert will know your presence with him, that He will know your comfort and your peace deep down in his heart. I pray that he will know just how much you love him, cherish him and delight in him. I pray that he will know that he is not alone, but loved and accepted by you, and that he is safe in your arms. Bless him tonight especially, I pray, in Jesus' Name, Amen.
