Concerned regarding blasphemy

[Paschal]

Dear Sir,

I recently suffered from blasphemous thoughts. It started all of a sudden.I was on a fast when it started. I could not control it for about 6 weeks. It was against the Holy Spirit. It so disturbed me that I could not think, read or pray. I could not even sleep. My mind will stiffen like someone who's heart it turned with a fork. My heart was like one that was ripped off, and a shell inserted into it. One that was too evil and difficult to cut off.

One night, I was on the floor I was so restless that I stopped fighting those thoughts, because I needed to be fit in mind to fight but I was not in control of my thoughts. I gave up, and said one of those words to the Holy Spirit in my mind. I was like one who was physically tortured. I said in my mind, while I was weak, what is the point of fighting these thoughts when I am going to hell. In me, It was like one who descided to die rather than suffer torture. I stopped fighting the whole swarm of bees. It was in my mind. I said nothing with my mouth. The day I tried to scream against the devil, I was afraid I was going to speak evil against the Holy Spirit because I opened my mouth in uncontiousness, I thought I had spoken evil with my mouth, I heard word like Holy Spirit rebuke devil. I am worried if I have blasphemed the Holy Spirit by saying that word to the Holy Spirit in my mind. Its some ack of sexual thing I said to him.

One of the things I remembered I did was breaking a vow I made to God. But I remembered it before that night and asked God to forgive me. I vowed to God that I will never use social sites for anything. I told Him it should be a Blasphemy against The Holy Spirit If I ever do that.But I broke that vow by going online to chat. I am now confused if I have blasphemed the Holy Spirit? Please tell me if I have blashemed.

Hello Paschal

I will quote Brother Chad his words are way better than mine.

The case of "blasphemy against the Spirit" in the New Testament is mentioned in Mark 3:22-30 and in Matthew 12:22-32. The term blasphemy may be generally defined as "defiant irreverence." We would apply the term to such sins as cursing God, or willfully degrading things relating to God. It is also attributing some evil to God, or denying Him some good that we should attribute to Him. This case of blasphemy, however, is a specific one, called "THE blasphemy against the Holy Spirit" in Matthew 12:31. In Matthew 12:31-32, the Pharisees, having witnessed irrefutable proof that Jesus was working miracles in the power of the Holy Spirit, claimed instead that the Lord was possessed by the demon "Beelzebub" (Matthew 12:24). Now notice that in Mark 3:30 Jesus is very specific about what exactly they did to commit "the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit."

This blasphemy has to do with someone accusing Jesus Christ of being demon-possessed instead of Spirit-filled. There are other ways to blaspheme the Holy Spirit, but this was "THE" unpardonable blasphemy. As a result, the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit cannot be duplicated today. Jesus Christ is not on earth. but seated at the right Hand of God. No one can witness Jesus Christ performing a miracle and then attribute that power to Satan instead of the Spirit. Although there is no blasphemy of the Spirit today, we should always keep in mind there is an unpardonable state of existence--the state of continued unbelief. There is no pardon for a person who dies in unbelief. Continual rejection of the Holy Spirit’s promptings to trust in Jesus Christ is the unpardonable blasphemy. Remember what is stated in John 3:16, "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have eternal life." The only condition when someone would have no forgiveness is if that someone is not among the "whoever believes in Him."

But i can add my personal story to this. I'm a victim of that kind of attack too and when you think its over you have another attack, even today when i decided to reply Satan wanted me to do another thing like playing video games or go eat something!. From my point of view one of the strongest weapon Satan have against us is doubt, when you doubt you are listening to yourself and not God words remember Ephesians 6:13-18 don't lose faith and ask for God help with all your heart and all your faith and then he will show you a way. Remember 1 Corinthians 10:13 brother: "And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear". Do not listen to Satan lies you are not beyond saving as 1 John 1:9 say: If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

If i read well its not a good idea to make vow only God know what tomorrow will bring and you don't know what will be on your path, when you break a vow the consequences can be devastating and give a windows open for Satan lies. (Matthew 5:33-37)

Be strong in the Lord brother and you will prevail.

If you still are being attacked, then satan hasn't won you over yet. Even Peter and the disciples often denied the power of Christ and the Holy Spirits power. They returned to the fold. When the attack begins, don't let your mind be empty except for those attacking thoughts. In your mind repeat Holy Scripture which is the power of God. I like to use Prov 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In ALL your ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your paths!

If you repeat this over and over in your mind or out loud, your mind will be filled with Holy Teaching, which the enemy can only stand so long before it flee's.

Look, there are some here that will probably disagree with what I have to say but, lets look at a very important scripture: Mark 3:28-29

• This is a key element to understanding the Holy Spirit and the only path to salvation.
• The Holy Spirit is the spirit of Jesus Christ, it is Jesus Christ, it is God, this is why God created the resurrection through his son, so he could get into us: Colossians 1:27
• Your sins are forgiven at the cross and the indwelling of Jesus spirit into you brings about your salvation. When you die as a born again Christian, a believer, God sees Christ in you and glorifies you, makes you perfect.
• Why God uses symbolism, metaphors, parables, and so on, I don't really know for sure. But you have a some what play on words here. You should know, as we all should, to be a Christian you must receive the Holy Spirit at your spiritual birth. You should also know that we are all sinful and if we die our physical death as a a non-believer, you have essentially died rejecting the Holy Spirit or blaspheme of the Holy Spirit.
• Look at KJV of the above verse 29: 29 But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation.

1. Well, no one who has not received the Holy Ghost, will be saved, they go to eternal damnation.
2. Now look at the second clause of that sentence: "but is in danger of eternal damnation". It says nothing about will have eternal damnation but only "in danger" of.
3. Anyone who has blasphemed the Holy Spirit and goes to there grave in that condition, is unsaved and will go to hell.
4. What about Atheists? Anyone who rejects the Holy Spirit but changes course before they die, receive God's grace and the Holy Spirit, will be saved.

• I can't say what was in your heart, whether you blasphemed or not but, no matter what you think you have done, if you die a believer, you therefore die with the Holy Spirit in you and you will be saved!

Satan loves to attack, and draw us away from God. The only thing is, Jesus is stronger. Keep fighting brother, keep praying, and stay strong, God will aid you and protect you as long as you live.

 

[Notworthy]

Listen to the people here. To die a non believer or in other words, never repent is to commit the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. Not those voices that attack the Holy Spirit, which I get those too. Rebuke them in the Almighty name of Jesus! And I know exactly what you're talking about, they keep coming sometimes and don't let up for a while. Do not try to think over them so you cannot think of them, they will just keep coming. Instead Rebuke them in the Almighty name of Jesus! They will go away. A few last words of advice. Keep talking to other Christians, because satan will try and keep you from doing that. He doesn't want you to know others are struggling with that same issue and will tell you look what you did! I don't believe you did that look! That's what he will tell you, continue in the fellowship of the Lord Jesus and Rebuke those thoughts. God bless
