Blasphemous Thoughts - A Testimony - Part 1

[Br. Bear]

@IzzyyyyB

Greetings,

So do you still struggle with it? Even after many years? I struggle with the same thing and I just want it to be over. I don't want to worry about this anymore. It's tormenting me and I can't get it to stop. I want to believe that what you said is true, but in my mind I can't help but think "what if that's not true?" "What if he's wrong?"

Please hear ...

thoughts are transient things, but we can give them a home, if we decide to believe them.
Our mind is a battlefield, yet a lot of the time, the busy-ness of life keeps us from realizing that and we don't take any time to consider the substance of our thoughts....
however, we do, usually without thinking about it, make little decisions all day about all sorts of things.
If we are not dedicated to only allowing righteous thought to remain, we might, and often do, let thoughts about things have a place on the shelf, so to speak.

If we consider the mind as being like a garden, we might realize the seriousness of how we treat all thoughts.
I don't know if you have done much gardening, planting vegetables or flowers or herbs, etc but as a keen gardener, I can tell you that if we allow bad seed into our garden they will set to growing, whether we like it or not! And, then if we let them go and think, I'll get them out later, the bad little seedlings sink their roots down and before you know it, they over-run areas and set seed and spread. We call them weeds.

Remember that word.... WEEDS

Ask yourself what you want growing in the garden of your soul, friend.

Another thing we can find ourselves doing is watering the weeds. Even letting them have some fertilizer. We can be lazy but the problem only gets worse and our garden can be over-run with weds.

In the Bible ( have you read any of it? ) we find written to take every thought captive. In other words, don't let any thoughts slip in without first checking them. It is a very fast process. I can assure you that if you are a Believer in Jesus Christ, the Son of God, He will help you, if you ask for the Helper, Who Jesus promised to send to those who ask, yes, He will help you to take very thought captive and decide if you are going to give it any place or not.
He has also promised to deliver you from all evil, again, we do need to ask Him for His salvation, for His quickening of our lives. While He wants to do only good for you, He is never One to push His gifts upon you. We need to choose if we want them or not.

Likewise, we need to choose if we want to entertain thoughts, to invite them to stick around and have a cup of tea with them... or not.

The enemy of our souls is an adversary. Lies are the specialty of the devil.
God, in His righteousness, has made it completely possible to not only resist the devil but to prove us, to clean us, through and with the lies, so we can choose if we want right or wrong.

He is looking for genuine people who WANT to live righteously. If we stumble and fall, He doesn't cast us off. He knows our frame and is tender and loving in bring us to the place of His Salvation.
We can not earn our salvation but we find that those who reject so great a salvation found only in and through the Son of God, do so because they choose to ignore and do evil. The reject any idea of humbling themselves under the mighty hand of God that He might lift them up. Proud and arrogant and self filled and self satisfied.

You are not like that, if you truly seek the Lord and want to please Him with your genuine love for Him and all others.

Another point to consider is whether you have un-confessed sin (that which you do not want to accept as being your wrong, your doing and something that really is wrong) OR if you have ill feelings and/or resentment against or towards another.
These can keep the door open to continued 'issues', such as what you have been encountering.
If we continue in sin, we are deciding that trouble and evil has a license and full right to do whatever it wants in and through you.

The only remedy for sin, the only deliverance evil, is Jesus Christ the Son of God. Stop here and repeat that to yourself, say it out loud and let it sink right in.

BUT... if we confess our sins, He is Faithful and just to forgive us our sin.... and fill us with a new life... unstained and no longer hindered by the past. We are still us, but empowered from on High to be overcomers and to persevere with love and patience by faith; to no longer be victims... but victors to His praise and glory.

Say no to stinking thinking.
Say NO to bad thoughts and do not even reconsider them... they will depart and find no home in your mind or heart.
If you are a Christian, say, "In Jesus name, No!" and them praise Him.

Get replacing every incidence of what you think to be blasphemous thought with praise to the Lord.

Praise you Jesus
Bless you Jesus
Thank you Jesus

Thank you Father, bless you Father and Praise you Father.

God is your Father if you acknowledge Jesus as His Son.... in truth.

He has the victory for you... do you want it?


Bless you ....><>

Jesus is the Lord

So do you still struggle with it? Even after many years? I struggle with the same thing and I just want it to be over. I don't want to worry about this anymore. It's tormenting me and I can't get it to stop. I want to believe that what you said is true, but in my mind I can't help but think "what if that's not true?" "What if he's wrong?"

We have this hope in Jesus Christ that it will be over soon where we will not have that battlefield of the mind, but in the meantime, we are to move on to perfection by running that race daily by looking to the author & finisher of our faith to help us lay aside every weight ( provisions for the flesh as well as wicked thoughts ) & sin so that by walking in the light by thinking on good things in fellowship with the Father & the Son we are living a reconciled life of repentance.

Hebrews 12:1Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

1 John 3:3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure....
8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

Psalm 19:12 Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults.
13 Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression.
14 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer.

2 Corinthians 10:4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds
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;
6 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.

Philippians 4:6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
9 Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.

Romans 13:13 Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.
14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.

1 Peter 4:1Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin;
2 That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.

1 Peter 4:12 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:
13 But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.

Hebrews 2:18 For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.

1 Corinthians 10:12 Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.
13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

2 Timothy 4:18 And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

Jude 1:24 Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,
25 To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.

So do you still struggle with it? Even after many years? I struggle with the same thing and I just want it to be over. I don't want to worry about this anymore. It's tormenting me and I can't get it to stop. I want to believe that what you said is true, but in my mind I can't help but think "what if that's not true?" "What if he's wrong?"

In addition to post # 102 is this verse.

John 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

Trust Him to overcome this for you as He helps you cast those thoughts down by thinking on good things in receiving His peace. And if having trouble trusting Him, ask Him to help you trust Him & He will do that too.

Mark 6:23 Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.
24 And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.

Psalm 19:12 Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults.
13 Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression.
14 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer.

Psalm 119:9 Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word.
10 With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments.

John 8:30 As he spake these words, many believed on him.
31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;
32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
33 They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?
34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.
35 And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever.
36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.

I am posting this testimony of the spiritual battle I have been in, because I have noticed that some people are concerned about blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. I don't know if anyone would even be interested in my testimony on this, because for one thing it will probably end up being too long to sit and read all the way through. But in case you are interested, I will be telling of my experiences with the hope that it will help you to cope with and have victory over it, without all the trial and error I went through.

Chad has some excellent posts on the subject and they do a great job of explaining what it is and isn't, but they don't elaborate on the tactics of the devil relating to the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit and how to overcome the attacks.

So what follows here is my personal, real-life account of an 8 week war (and counting?) with the devil and his attempts to :

1) make me believe I have committed blasphemy of the Holy Spirit 2) make me doubt my salvation 3) make me doubt God's love for me 4) make me feel guilty beyond hope 5) make me believe his thoughts WERE MY THOUGHTS 6) make me lose my sanity

Throughout this ordeal God has been revealing scriptures to me, among the many others things that have happened, and the one that stands out is :

2 Corinthians 1:3-7 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God. For just as we share abundantly in the sufferings of Christ, so also our comfort abounds through Christ. If we are distressed, it is for your comfort and salvation; if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you patient endurance of the same sufferings we suffer. And our hope for you is firm, because we know that just as you share in our sufferings, so also you share in our comfort. It is my fervent hope that all who read this and can relate to it, will take comfort in this post, like the God of all comfort has given so abundantly to me!!

So here it is now, my testimony :

For the last 8 weeks I have had continuous attacks from satan, who has been trying to put filthy, blasphemous thoughts about the Holy Spirit into my mind. They are the most vile and horrifying thoughts you could possibly imagine. At the beginning they absolutely horrified me and caused me no end of distress, to put it mildly!

And last but not least, he was trying his absolute best to convince me that all those thoughts WERE MY THOUGHTS, because he knows how much torment that can cause to a believer in Christ.

Here is what I have discovered through 8 weeks of doing spiritual warfare with satan : he is able to plant thoughts in your head that are indistinguishable from your own[/COLOR]! Not only that, he is able to literally finish sentences for you!

I discovered that the enemy’s thoughts blend in with my own. At first I was unable to tell where my thoughts ended and Satan’s began. In a split second he can finish my own thought with a swear word.

These thoughts made me feel for sure that I did the unpardonable sin and was now therefore totally lost, un-redeemable and without hope for salvation..

Now, before I continue, I want everyone to know that what I have been going through is not at all uncommon. We read in

1 Corinthians 10:13 :
New International Version (NIV)

13 No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.

And perhaps some think what is meant here is that we all have temptations about similar mundane things, like our finances, marriage struggles, losing our job, health problems, etc. But unless you have experienced a barrage of blasphemous thoughts from satan, you would not believe the above verse applies to that kind of situation.

After all, you would suppose, what kind of Christian would have thoughts like that? Thoughts so horrible that I wouldn't repeat them if I could. Thoughts that could seemingly only come from the most reprobate and evil mind.

That's what satan was trying desperately to make me believe, that this thing was only happening to ME, that it couldn't POSSIBLY happen to a "real" Christian.

He was working overtime to make me believe that no one was as horrible as me, because anyone thinking such thoughts must be the worst person on the face of the earth. And did I really believe a Christian could be having thoughts such as these? Therefore I mustn't be a Christian.

These are some of the things I had to battle and that initially tormented me so much.

And just to clarify, the evil thoughts weren't conscious decisions I just made out of the blue to purposely insult, grieve, malign or blaspheme God, etc.
I then, as I do now, have no desire whatsoever to say, think or do anything negative towards God, towards anyone in the Godhead. The wicked thoughts that came into my mind were VERY FAST AND RANDOM - unexpected , unplanned, etc. And as fast as I could possibly do so, I would stop the thought and take it into captivity in obedience to
2 Corinthians 10:4-6:
For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled.

At the beginning, when the thought attacks first started, I was so frightened, because as a Christian I knew that having a horrible thought against the Holy Spirit would never be forgiven, and is in fact the only one mentioned in the bible as not being forgiven.

In fact I would literally shriek inside with horror and like I said earlier, be extremely grieved, upset, and mortified at such thoughts. Again I say, they were incredibly quick flashes of horrible thoughts, directed at the Holy Spirit. I did not sit there and say to myself anything remotely along the lines of : " I hate God, so I think I'll have some fun and do some blaspheming", if you know what I mean.

I am now going to give you just a little info about how I was attempting to stop the attacks, why that failed miserably, and what I finally figured out after listening to God and doing it His way.

If you ever find yourself , or know of someone else in the situation I was in, you will know what to do and it will save you a lot of ongoing torment.

Because I hated those thoughts I did my very best to stop them in their tracks as soon as I could - casting down imaginations, taking every thought into captivity, etc.
I rebuked satan in Jesus' name many times, I bound satan in Jesus' name many times, I listened to praise music all day long, etc.

But the attacks kept coming at me, over and over. It was hard to sleep, hard to function in the day and very distracting from serving and looking solely upon the Lord, which is what I wanted to do.

THIS IS IMPORTANT : The reason my efforts to stop the attacks didn't work was because I was trying to fight a spiritual battle with my FLESH.

Not only that, but because of the way the human mind works, the act of trying to stop a thought, or not remember it or think of it, GUARANTEES you will do it!! Our natural reaction would be to try and stop and silence the thought. Trust me, no one would want such thoughts in their head about their mother, never mind God in the person of The Holy Spirit!!!

But I repeat, if you are having those thought attacks, you will heap even more misery upon yourself by trying to combat them by simply sheer force of will. The goal must never be the avoidance of blasphemous thoughts. The harder we try to avoid them, the worse they will get.
The only way to combat them is by doing hardcore spiritual battle.

Ephesians 6:11-18 11 Put on the full armor of God, that you may be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore, take up the full armor of God, that you may be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm. 14 Stand firm therefore, having girded your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 in addition to all, taking up the shield of faith with which you will be able to extinguish all the flaming missiles of the evil one. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 18 With all prayer and petition pray at all times in the Spirit...

Taking up the shield of faith and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, is CRUCIAL. You need to fight spirit by Spirit. There are numerous bible verses that tell us who we are in Christ, what we can expect from Him, etc. And we must wield these passages like a sword in order to defeat the enemy.

Jesus stopped satan's attacks against Him in the wilderness by QUOTING SCRIPTURE. We must do the same.

The word of God - the sword of the Spirit - tells us in

Philippians 4:7
The peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Amen!

Believing in and using verses like this one is one of the weapons you need. Satan cannot overpower your mind, no matter how convincing he is to the contrary!! And make no mistake, he is very convincing!!
If satan seems to be overpowering your mind, you must pray and believe that God WILL guard it. He cannot lie.

2 Timothy 4:18
18 And the Lord will deliver me from and preserve me for His heavenly kingdom. To Him be glory forever and ever. Amen!

If being bombarded by a howitzer of blasphemous thoughts is not AN EVIL WORK, I don't know what is!!!

Therefore, this scripture assures us that the Lord will deliver us from EVERY evil work. Trusting in God and His incredible power and love for you is essential to gaining the victory that Christ has given you.

More spiritual battle verses :

Psalms 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.

Proverbs 18:10: The name of the lord is a strong tower, the righteous run into it and the are safe"

Joshua1:9 Be strong of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.

Colossians 2:15 New International Version (NIV)

15 And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.


We must keep our eyes on Jesus at all times, and not let satan's thoughts distract us and distress us. When Peter took his eyes off the Lord and instead looked at the waves for a brief second, he started to lose faith and sink into the sea that he had moments before been walking on.
No matter what scary distractions the devil throws at you, keep your focus on Jesus.

Unwanted thoughts are simply a form of temptation, and all Christians are tempted.

Calmly address the devil, saying something like, “In the name of Jesus I rebuke you. No matter what lies and filth you put into my head, Jesus defeated you and I belong to Jesus, and in Him there is no condemnation in me.”

Romans 8:1 New International Version (NIV)

Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

1 Corinthians 15:57
But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Psalm 27:1
1The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

Romans 8:37-39
37Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.38For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,39Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

I will leave it that regarding scriptures. There are so many more, the point of which is, we have nothing to fear from unwanted blasphemous attacks.

We must stubbornly resist the pressure to surrender to the enemy's lies, whether it be false condemnation or believing that we are responsible for thoughts we do not want.

Don’t waste your resources getting sidetracked into self-examination or fighting thoughts or feelings. No matter how real and scary they seem, they are just cardboard cut-outs.

The plan of the devil with these thoughts is to try to sabotage our relationship with God. He wants us so fixated on trying to fight unwanted blasphemous thoughts and so foolishly convinced that they render us repulsive to God[/COLOR], that we misinterpret our Lord’s every expression of love for us.

The devil wants us to push God away through being duped into wrongly supposing that ugly thoughts render us unacceptable to the God who is head over heels in love with us.

Unwanted thoughts, no matter how repulsive, are merely pesky flies that refuse to be shooed away.

So in summary, satan putting blasphemous thoughts into the minds of Christians is not unusual or uncommon.

We must recognize that no negative thought is from God. They are a deception from the father of lies, who is a murderer, thief and destroyer.

We must focus on JESUS, not satan or his attacks. NO MATTER WHAT, focus on Jesus and never forget that He will never forsake you or let the enemy harm you. Jesus is the Good Shepherd who lays down His life for His sheep. No wolf or roaring lion will take you out of His hands!!!

Jesus has defeated satan and overcome the world. All authority is given to Him in heaven and earth. What can satan do to you? What can HIS thoughts do to you? He is a weak and defeated enemy that plays on our insecurities and weaknesses, but ultimately is a paper tiger doing shadow puppets on the wall to try and scare us.

I was in utter turmoil when the thoughts first started, because I had never experienced them before. And as I said, they are SO REAL and so INDISTINGUISHABLE from your own.

But I am telling you this testimony so you don't have to have any turmoil if it happens to YOU. You will know what it is that is happening to you, why it is, and what you can do about it. Just ignore the devil, for it makes his day when he gets to you and causes you grief.
Resist him and he will FLEE.

In part 2 I will talk about some great Christians that have gone through the very thing I have talked about. And if you ever get these attacks, know that you will be in some great company!! :wink:

Hi Peace Seeker. Are you still there? This post may be a little long. I've been going through the same attacks since maybe 4 weeks ago and came across your testimony amidst all the fear, dread, and hopelessness I was feeling from these thoughts..
It's comforting, because I completely relate to a lot of what you went through and I have hope since you've been free from those thoughts for a long time now. I try my best to be hopeful, since the Holy Spirit has also led me to many promises in the Scriptures to cling to. There are still times, though, where I feel like I displeased God and He turned away from me because of these thoughts. I give these fears to God and ask Him for help to trust in His promises, but sometimes I feel I'm not doing enough against these thoughts. You said you engaged in intense spiritual warfare to successfully defeat the attacks, but not only am I being attacked by thoughts saying awful things about the Holy Spirit, I'm being tempted to question everything about the reality of God and His plan for the world. It's so scary for me, I've never questioned God like that or felt any reason to before, yet now I can't even read the Bible without my mind being filled with doubt and the urge to question every aspect of God's character. I already know that all aspects of God's character are true and that these temptations are only from the devil, but I have this fear that I might end up believing the lies he puts in my mind and then God leaves me, that I end up rejecting Truth Himself and becoming forever condemned in that sin. I know it's just fear, and that God is infinitely stronger than the evil one, and He has given me so many promises to cling to, but how do I also engage in successful spiritual warfare if my mind keeps questioning everything I read in the Scriptures?
I talked to God about this struggle, and I'm trusting that He alone will help me through this time. It's just one awful temptation after another. It's not anything mundane like what other Christians experience, I honestly wish I was like other Christians who never experienced these kind of temptations and are truly at peace with God. I don't mean to undermine the struggles of other Christians, I just felt so alone and thought no genuine Christian struggled with these thoughts. Your testimony gives me hope, but I still fear at times. You overcame, will I overcome too?

I honestly wish I was like other Christians who never experienced these kind of temptations and are truly at peace with God. I don't mean to undermine the struggles of other Christians, I just felt so alone and thought no genuine Christian struggled with these thoughts.

I can assure most all Christians do !! it time to realize these are not your thoughts !! these are put there by our enemy to do exactly what it is doing torment you.

Question for you.

Would you speak these words and proclaim them to someone??

 

[awhitedressinthestars]

Would you speak these words and proclaim them to someone??

You mean my intrusive thoughts?
I never, ever want to do that. I know they are lies and are evil.

 

[Dave M]

You mean my intrusive thoughts?
I never, ever want to do that. I know they are lies and are evil.

Amen I say to you if your not willing to speak them with your mouth they are not your thoughts !! they are from the enemy either the devil or your flesh. Do not let them bother you, keep fighting them with Gods word running though you veins. rebuke the thoughts in Jesus name. You must be getting closer to God for the enemy to attack you, he leaves everyone alone who is his already.

Praying for your peace,, in the mighty name of Jesus are Lord and savior !!

ps they are not your thoughts !!
