Some tactics I use to ignore these intrusive thoughts:

1. Fully submit and trust in God
2. Don’t respond to the thoughts, simply observe them and watch them pass on
3. Focus on the love God has for you, and allow yourself to surrender to Him

God allows us to have bad intrusive thoughts to teach us how to have power and control over ourselves and Satan. God knows and totally understands Satan will never stop trying to get us away from God and do wrong, as long as we are in this human body of flesh which makes us all sinners in this physical life. When I get bad intrusive thoughts. I just ask God in my mind, no matter where I am, to "remove the evil spirits in my thoughts/mind in the name of Jesus Christ". It's amazing how fast those thoughts leave my mind, almost instantly. We are to trust in God/Christ to keep us on a righteous path and to keep Satan and sinful thoughts away from us.

◄ 2 Corinthians 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

Intrusive thoughts have been dominating my life this year so far. Today was a rough day, but watching this video and seeing how many others have endured this through God’s strength shows me I’m not alone. I can’t believe God’s timing with the release of this video. He’s absolutely amazing.

Hey guys and I struggled with these for a while wanted to share my experience with these thoughts. Keep on fighting the good fight of faith, God WILL come through. It’s the enemy trying to make you think thoughts about you or others, to get you to change how you see yourself. The enemy, the devil, wants to cut in on your walk with God by making you think foul, unholy, or immoral things to get you to believe lies about yourself and your identity in Christ. Remember that lies can be deceitful, but are powerless and only have the power that you give them. Jesus destroyed all the power of the enemy on the cross. Jesus is the truth and said “the truth will set you free.” Jesus also said “I am the way, the truth, and the life.” Hold fast and firm to the truth. Cling to what is good. Remember who you truly are, who Jesus is and how He loved you, and still does love you, and stay consistent in the Word of God and in prayer, God is faithful and will finish the good work He started in you. Jesus loves you and already set you free by HIS sacrifice on the cross! Glory to the Lord, for He is Good!

I deal with OCD and PTSD. Intrusive thoughts have plagued me ever since God saved my life. It all stems from childhood trauma and traumatic experiences in life. I believe this is a tactic of the enemy. OCD, Social anxiety, intrusive thoughts are all based of fear. Things that we fear and things that disturb us. 2 Timothy 1:7 - For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind

I suffer from OCD, scrupulousity, to be more in detail. It has been the worst battle I've ever had to face in my life. It is time consuming, it tires you and it made me think I didn't deserve nothing or the things my parents gave me because I had intrusive sexual thoughts, the devil (behind this OCD title) convinced me I need to confesses these thoughts to my parents when all along they weren't mine. Only a few weeks ago I discovered I suffered this and God spoke to me throught a sermon, telling me these thoughts weren't mine and I needed to stop worrying and torturing myself for nothing. It was a great relieve and I felt so much peace after that. I hope anyone who suffers this knows the thoughts you never thought in the first place aren't yours, and it isn't your fault, God knows it and wants yo to break free from them

In just recent weeks when I have any and all impure thoughts... I immediately plead the blood of Christ over my thoughts and rebuke Satan. Then I choose to move on. I must say it’s working miracles in my life. He has been purifying my mind, body and spirit. God is great!! Thank you for the video and God bless!!💖🙏🏼

I say this in my mind when I start thinking of things that are not good for me, "Jesus Christ is the Lord of my thoughts". Maybe it may help someone else too.

[jairmartinez]

I have intrusive thoughts about God specifically. I dont want to have them. I feel like I hurt God and make him mad at me. I dont want to have them. I want to learn more about his love towards me. Some thoughts tell me that he dosent love me at all and that he wants bad things for me, some are worse thoughts. I dont want to have them. Please pray for me brothers and sisters. In Jesus name. Thank you!

If you’re having disrespectful thoughts or blasphemous thoughts towards God I’ve been there before. Ask God to help you have Clean and Christ like thoughts. I still pray about those evil thoughts every night before I go to sleep. God will help you and there’s a reason He’s allowing these thoughts to come into your head.

If you are a Christian and you're suffering from this, I really know how hard it is, how painful it is to have that bad, intrusive thoughts. I know the feeling of being afraid to share about it, because we are afraid that we might be condemned and misunderstood especially of those the one that are not suffering from this. Knowing that Im not alone, makes me feel at ease because I remembered
1 Peter 5:8-10
"Be alert, be on watch! Your enemy the devil roams around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour. Be firm in your faith and resist him, BECAUSE YOU KNOW THAT OTHER BELIEVERS IN ALL THE WORLD ARE GOING THROUGH THE SAME KIND OF SUFFERINGS. BUT AFTER YOU HAVE SUFFERED FOR A LITTLE WHILE, THE GOD OF ALL GRACE WHO CALLS YOU TO SHARE HIS ETERNAL GLORY IN UNION WITH CHRIST, WILL HIMSELF PERFECT YOU AND GIVE YOU, FIRMNESS, STRENGTH AND A SURE FOUNDATION" I encourage you to continue in faith. To continue in believing that Jesus is our only hope and our salvation and our thoughts couldn't separate us from His love (Romans 8:38-39) You are not alone, you are never alone we are all in this together in this fight. Everytime my thoughts will occur I try my best to put my confidence in Christ Jesus. Reminding myself that this battle is not mine, its the Lord's. Its like God is saying, that I don't have to fight for my thoughts because the more I fight the more I get overcome by this bad intrusive thoughts. Im surrendering it to the Lord saying "Lord, I dont have to fight for it, you called me to live in peace, please fight for me" The thoughts might still be present but just continue what you are doing dont fight or argue with your thoughts knowing that our God, searches the HEART of everyone. Expect that thoughts will come back again but be confident in Christ. Im still suffering from this thoughts but what I told you helps me a lot. The thoughts are there but it dont stick for a long time just like in the past. Just remember to always hold on to faith. Pray about it, develop a close and personal relationship with Jesus, the only way to the Father. Ask God and trust HIM. He accepts us no matter what and we have a special place in eternity with Him. I assure you that God loves youuu, you are understood, forgiven and loved💛 Keep the fight! Keep the faith! Im fighting with youu, WE are fighting with youuu and most importantly, GOD IS FIGHTING FOR YOU💛
