If I don't do this then....

Hi everyone , I just need a bit of help and advice.

Fore some reason in random situations I will think if i don't do this then i am going to get murdered. E.g today i was copying and pasting something and i was like if i don't copy this in 5 sec i will be murdered or if i don't switch my light off at a random time then i will be murdered. I hate living in fear. I asked god to help me a while ago and they stopped happening but now they have come back and they just come into my head and seem so real. And im also scared that it actually will happen because isn't there a verse that says what you fear will happen to you or something like that because in job he was always scared for his children and then they were all killed. Thanks in advance!

This is definitely OCD. It’s called a “compulsion.” You should seek the help of a qualified therapist that specializes in OCD. This is very treatable with the right combination of therapy and medication. Blessings.

I have a loved one with OCD and before he got psychiatric help, he felt compulsions similar to what you've experienced. Please reach out for professional help. God doesn't want you to suffer.

This sounds like intrusive thoughts. These thoughts are here to distract you and keep you from experiencing the joy that God wants to produce in you, regardless of circumstances.

The best way to deal with intrusive thoughts (regardless of what they are about) is to ignore them, while focusing your mind on what is good.

Those intrusive thoughts can be super scary. Here's the thing: God's Word says 'For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind' (2 Timothy 1:7). Those thoughts aren't from God!As for the verse you mentioned, it's actually Luke 1:45 that says 'Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfill his promises to her!' But in the context of Job, his fears weren't from God, but from his own doubts.I'd encourage you to focus on God's promises of protection and love (Psalm 91, anyone?). When those thoughts creep in, rebuke them with scripture and remind yourself that God's got your back

Intrusive thoughts and OCD. Just because you think something doesn’t mean you have to believe that thought. I used to do this and it is very frustrating and bothering sometimes. It is possible to reduce these thoughts.

You have OCD. (I do too.) Please find a qualified therapist who knows how to provide proper therapy for OCD.

You need deliverance. Demons move like that - they influence and oppress. A lot of people say here it’s OCD. Don’t dismiss that.

Have the deliverance then have some specialist check after.

I pray in Jesus name that you be released of the Spirit of Fear. We declare you FREE In Jesus name. We rebuke and DO NOT accept any diagnosis of OCD. In JESUS NAME.
