I am a struggling Christian with demonic oppression and severe depression also. Some days are “bearable”, other days I wished I was in Heaven because it’s extremely difficult to go on with my life. I too have those thoughts you describe. I’ve never heard anybody else having that problem so I started thinking it was all me, all my own thoughts towards God. When I read your post I almost felt relieved to know there is someone else that is going through the same thing. Whenever I get a bad thought or cuss word towards God and it’s directed right at Him I feel soo guilty and shamed, and also confused because it sometimes comes out of “nowhere”. What I do afterward is ask Him to forgive me for allowing that thought in my mind and also ask Him to bring peace to my mind. I also “plead the Blood” by saying “I plead the Blood of Jesus now over and through my mind, body and spirit”. Doing this helps tremendously. It doesn’t prevent further attacks but God will help you get through them if you continue to go to Him. I hope I’ve helped you some. May God comfort you with His Presence and may He Bless you as well! Your sister in Christ, Lisa

I’m sorry, I just want to make a correction. Towards the end of my reply when I said “It doesn’t prevent further attacks” I meant to say “It doesn’t prevent future attacks.” Your mind will be protected for the present time though. Just remember, you have to go to God and let Him help you during times like these. We can’t consciously protect our minds on our own without Him. Also for the people that don’t have faith in Jesus, pleading His Blood will not help them. Our faith in Him is very important to have. Jesus Be with you.
