hi regards lately i have been struggling with an ocd related with thoughts of selling your soul i had these problem back when i was 11 at that time i didnt know it was ocd so i felt terrible i cried i went to confession all the time and i guess i was afraid to ask to the priest about it because in my head i was thinking tha he was going to say something like : "you are condemned you have no salvation " so i just managed to go on with my life thinking just that maybe god will forgive because i was just a child you know i also thoght that he wouldnt i started thinking that maybe i will go straight to hell and that evrything good that happened to me i didnt deserve it that it was not a blessing that i could never be blessed i remember that one time my dad came drunk home i remember crying like a little girl i had sixteen at the time and i forgot completely about god at that time i dont know why butt i played a song of skillet the name of that song is the last night i remember feeling that someone was hunging me from the back like saying "evrything will be fine " with time i got a job one of the biggest blessings that i had in my life thanks to that i went to college and even buyd ma mama a new car (im still paying for it ) butt i remember feeling that god was in fact in my life , now lately around a week ago i been struggling with the same type of ocd i know that god loves me i know that even though i probably dont deserve it so i decided to go something that made feel terrified at the time and i asked a priest of my church about selling your soul and he said and i quoute"you cannot sell your soul your soul belongs to god he created evrything angels archangels humans no one butt god can be the owner of your soul " and then i asked him “so all those things about selling your soul getting something in exchange is that just a myth” and he said “yes is just a myth you cannot really do it” and then i remember feeling hope like i always thought and i will never go to heaven and i really believe that there is a small chance of going to heaven now im still strglling with the same thing i just want it to stop because my soul belongs to god it have always belong to him and i as never in mortal sin however i really want overcomeit because is making depressed and less productive i will do appreciate if you could give some advice about it or pray for me

First of, your agitated! Get a grip, calm down, and relax. Then, trust God and “don’t be afraid”. Drop all of that stuff about “selling your souls”, and that part of your OCD with it. Free yourself form that issue, and when the thought comes around, have a good chuckle about it, and be at peace.

God bless you.
 
Well, it might be aggravating that you have to keep answering the same questions but if you keep making the right decisions…

You can reply to the shotgun temptations, fears, puzzles, and whatever

“I make my decision to be with God everyday.”
 
You need to replace all this negativity with some Truth. If you steep your mind in scripture it will help clean up your mind.
 
thanks i know is just that im really feel that this is taking over my mind and my time to give you an example i could be all the afternoon thinking about the same thing even though i know theres a hope for going to heaven i know that i know that is just physological thing is just the posibbility of going to hell scares me the most

To some extent we must all fear the pains of hell. Realistically, we don’t want to be separated by God, either now, or in eternity.

OCD requires medical treatment, but there are also spiritual treatments. One of them is training your mind in the Truth, so when a pack of lies gets in your head, you have something to fight with(weapons).
 
i dont … i dont really know how to do that, i dont know to fight back

That is why you need to steep your mind in scripture. The weapons are there. I recommend an audio/mp3 so you can plug yourself into it when your mind starts to run rampant.
 
yes i mean i dont want to sell my soul or anything i know its not possible and i know love god i think that this is the only thing im obssesed with
 
Deadmanwalking,

You have a treatable mental illness, not demonic thoughts telling you to “sell your soul”! OCD is an anxiety disorder that causes unwanted thoughts that repeat endlessly, but cause severe disturbance in the sufferer,

Please get psychiatric help asap! With therapy and medication, you will find relief and peace of mind. Then you’ll be better able to go on with your life.

Yours in healing and your brother in Christ,

Stuart
 
thanks mate i really aprecciate your comments and evryone from your personal views will i go to hell am i in any risk?
 
After confession your are reconciled with God. In a state of grace you will go to heaven. [But if you have OCD seek treatment, God tells us we should entrust our health problems to medical doctors.]
 
No, my friend, you will not go to Hell. God doesn’t condemn the innocent. As I said, your fears are the result of your illness. Once you begin treatment these thoughts will pass.

The two are not separated. Satan loves to attack us in our most vulnerable areas, psychologically, physically, and relationally. Vulnerabilities in any of these areas leave us wide open to be exploited by spiritual forces also.

Realistically, we are all at risk of abandoning Christ and going to hell, but there are many assurances that can keep you focused. A good spiritual director can help you with that, and memorizing a lot of scripture so that it will be handy in your mind and heart when you need such assurance. Like this one:

" I give eternal life to them. They will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand." John 10:28
