What to do when you have INTRUSIVE THOUGHTS

I needed to see this!!😭😭😭 When i began to get closer to got i started to think about the most blasphemous things and i couldn't stop😭😭 i was scared to think about God. I was feeling so alone and disgusted with myself. I thought i had a demon inside me. But i fought through and continued to read my bible and praise and worship him. Im so happy im not alone with this. KEEP GOING BROTHER AND SISTERS

I thank you for making this video. One person, who I'll leave unnamed (and for extra anonymity will be referred to as "They/Them"), who I knew made mention of something horrific (which I do not wish to describe) while in a deeply depressed state. I knew them long enough to know that they were not the type of person to do that something. Letting it be clear that even the most faithful of people can be afflicted with intrusive thoughts, that reminding that whatever situation that brings on I.T.s do not define you, but rather you and God knows who are.

I'd also recommend a video by Dr. Tracey Marks "Normal thoughts VS Intrusive Thoughts: How To Tell The Difference" and perhaps incorporating some things mentioned in this video by Impact Video Ministry in order to have a way to help people get over whatever distressed moment of life someone is going through with God's healing and guidance.

the funniest thing that even if I fill my mind completely with good, but then one flashy bad thing i see, it takes my attention for next half of day atleast, and I need to "force stop" which takes me a lot of time and during that time I literally don't even notice what happens around me, and sometimes focusing on God hard, like you did it but then can just come back again

Thank you so much for this video. I also get blasphemous thoughts. I feel very sad & bad about me because of this. Please pray for me

Your Amazing

Philippians 4:13
“I can do everything through him who gives me strength”

WOW DUDE! THIS VIDEO IS BULLSEYE! 👍 GOD BLESS YOUR MINISTRY! JESUS LOVES YOU TOO!

Yes these super cute little videos are so very helpful I just love them and learn so much from God Bless this Impact ministry. Thus is so helpful love in the Lord

❤

I know this might be a stupid question but should we repent when we have these thoughts or no?

Thanks for the vid I really needed it

❤❤

Thanks for this. I struggle deeply with intrusive thoughts about my family dying.

Hold every thought captive & make it obedient to Christ ✝️ I used to have OCD & repeat things. I then realized the thought was just a lie & I was NOT going to deal with that lie. It's not true or lovely so be gone. Phi 4:8 is my life verse. Paul is my fave 🤌🕊
Plus I played Klove & worship music all day n night. Jeremy Camp✊️ & all the artists ❤ praise Him in the morning praise him in the noon time, praise Him when the day is done 🎶

I have these foughts almost every single day since a very very long age I try to pray but when I pray I feel empty almost as if I’m just saying words with no meaning I feel dead inside even around people I love it feels like my love fades away and I wanna ask the people around me for help but I’m just to scared to talk to anyone about it,I’m skinny and on my phone for almost every single second of the day and I try to stop watching lust full video but I can’t get myself to do so but watching your videos are starting to help me a little

You know. I have a problem with blasphemous thoughts. They happen kind of randomly and I fear that they aren't intrusive but rather I provoke them. I don't want these thoughts I don't like these thoughts . Sometimes when I think in that way I try to fix that thoughts by thinking "that's not true, if someone sees ..... like this then that person is an idiot" but sometimes it makes it even weirder. I tried praying but it don't realy help.

Please pray for me. I can't control my thoughts... like, I get a bad thought about Jesus, I have 3 bad thoughts that come back over and over again and again, and when it comes back, I can think only about it, while trying to not think about it, which makes me think more about it, which makes the other thoughts come back too! ☹

I find it more helpful to capture my intrusive thoughts and bring them to submission through fiction. In fiction, evil is (or rather should be) destined to be destroyed by good. So it is fine to capture one's own personal demons and trap them in a work where they either do not need to be shared, or where those thoughts are depicted honestly, and then ultimately brought to justice.

That is how I, personally, deal with them and come to terms with the evil that exists within me. The Old Adam is free to destroy as much as he wants in a world of man's creation, as far as I'm concerned. He's still trapped in a cage of words and can do nothing in God's domain, as long as he remains trapped there.

I have struggled with intrusive thoughts my whole life that is apparently due to the severe case of ADHD that My doctors tell me I have, I struggle with on a weekly basis deeply rooted thoughts of suicide since I was six years old, and I’ve never found anything as helpful as this video. I pray that God can give me solace and his thoughts and take control of them, and that everyone here they find solace as well, knowing that there is a light at the end of the tunnel and that your life is worth it.

Spiritual warfare

My brother, this is so long after this is posted but I’ve been STRUGGLING. Truly wondering why they were there. This truly helps, God is good man and helps us at our lowest. Praying for you guys in the comments we got this only through Jesus!

Guys i never had this before until some days ago.
I still was embracing my faith but during lasts months i strenghted it a lot.
Please pray for me to overcome the evil forces.

I tell myself it’s the devil and not me and I pray in the name of Jesus ! 😂 not today Satan. Not today.

So glad I found this channel

I think awful things sometimes. I try to catch myself and change direction instead of dwelling on it. I then apologize to God and ask him to take away these thoughts.

For the multiple intrusive thoughts what prayer do we pray

I feel like with my thoughts I will be praying most of the day, what will I do ?

THANK YOU! I have a serious problem with intrusive thoughts, this video d really helped me with them, intrusive thoughts even almost made me do blasphemy against the Holy Spirit 😣

Thanks for this! Lots of good insights here. There's a nuance, though, that I feel ought to be addressed as well.

Sometimes, confronting an intrusive thought head-on - fighting it, wondering how I could have thought it in the first place, praying frantically for God to take it away, etc. - actually brings the thought more front and center because I'm focusing on it so much. Not only is it hard to clear from my head, but I'm more likely to remember it and think it again. That leads to "Oh, no! How could I keep thinking about this? What's wrong with me?" And the spiral continues.

It's kind of like the Chinese finger trap - the more you try to fight and pull away, the more stuck you get.

I'm usually not successful at doing this, but in my better moments, when the stray thought hits my brain, I just scoff and think something quickly like, "No, that thought is dumb," and then move on to something else. Just like with the Chinese finger trap, where you have to do the counter-intuitive thing and push in, sometimes you have to not fight the thought. You don't dwell on the thought and enjoy it, either - just ignore it and move on.

Anyway, great thoughts overall. Thanks for sharing, and may the Lord's blessings be with you this Christmas season!

My intrusive thoughts can sometimes make me laugh while other thoughts made me feel horrified, to that point I need to bring them to submission. It happens when I also pray to God to get these thoughts off my chest.

Save up time:
1.Recognise the bad thoughts. Capture intrusive thoughts. Dont get controlled by it.
2.Pray
3.Respond with gratitude. Meditate on positive things,thanksgiving.
4.Respond with action.(do sg good with somebody,encourage somebody, listen worship music,read bible

I love this series ❤

Please don't get me wrong when I say that I'm glad I'm not alone in this issue ❤️✝️❤️

Thx you I would be using these methods whenever i have intrusive thoughts

Thanks! Really needed this video!

My intrusive thoughts that came force into my mind was blasphemy and bad thoughts towards it so I thank you because I couldn't sleep... and I really Thank God.. Thank you so much for this Lord.

Now I just have 1 question

Does Imagination count as a Sin/Distraction?

And if so is there a way to fight it?

THANK YOU LORD ❤

Some tines i want to off myself with these thoughts. How do y'all get threw it???

I have been rebuking the intrusive thoughts when they try to come. I am so tired of being so hard on myself. I need to forgive myself for things I’ve done in the past and remember who I am in Christ. I just want to forget and move on from things from the past. The LORD has things He wants and needs me to do so that His kingdom will come and my thoughts need to line up with the knowledge of Christ. I pray this for all saints. God bless you guys. Be strong in the power of His might.

Temptation is the gunmen

Sin are the knights

And Intrusive thoughts are that LITERAL LANDMINE

Intrusive thoughts come so much on me especially when im praising and glorifying the Lord Almighty and the Lord of Hosts my intrusive thoughts come harsh on me its the most blasphemous lies ive had in an intrusive thought,its like preventing me from getting closer to God,its like scared of me when im getting to closer to God and it gives me lies like "You don't love God" and "You dont respect God" but behind those lies i respect God and i love God with all of my heart.Sometimes im scared to tell God about a thought like this because i fear him of what he will do to me because of this intrusive thoughts,pls pray for me because this intrusive thought is reckless it breaks up my faith it drowns me with its lies,its so disturbing in my mind but i know that Jesus is always there to protect me and i just need to trust him that he can deliver me from all of this chaos in my mind,btw instrusive thoughts happen to me when praying,doing the dishes, brushing my teeth,doing my praying routine,reading my bible especially when im reading about God's everlasting love his promises and his endless grace and forgiveness,its like im always getting attacked but i know that im not the only one.God bless guys and may God grant us peace and wisdom to fight of these things.Amen❤❤✝️

Holy Spirit lead me here, Subscribed. 😍😍🥰🥰

My goal in 2025 is to get closer with Christ and like everyone we are struggling with intrusive thoughts. So I'm watching this video as part of my bible study. Let's not be hard on ourselves. The devil knows we belong to the Lord so he's trying to lead us astray. Amen ❤

i felt so alone these past few months, but this video is just perfect 4 me rn, thank you 💕💕

I’m struggling with lustful intrusive thought I’m scared it’s making me take Gods grace for granted I don’t wanna be this way I hate this I hate disobeying him I just want to be freed from this

Thank you 🙏🏾

Gee, i sure would have loved a video of a psychological breakdown of how to deal with inttrusive thoughts 🙄
