Hi,

I am polethebear or michael,I have a problem that I want to share with you.It is a problem that I have prayed that god-through you or through this situation will give me final resoution on.It is also a problem that due to the early hour,I may be only able to give a basic overview of and post more in detail later.

First of all,I am christian-baptized on easter sunday,1987.I have accepted him as my savior and hope and pray that my name is that book and that I will one day be with him.

I am also a writer, a struggling one,primally due to having Obsessive compulsive disorder.As my mother(RIP) and my father would say,I am never happy with anything.I am fearful over making descions regarding what I write and as a result,have not made any kind of progress.

Recently,I have noticed that when I write or in general for that matter,that I get vibes or gut feelings when I write.I can even focus on idea in my head and get a good idea on whetever or not it is right.It is hard to explain,when something is right or it is something I should do,I get a peacful feeling.When it is not,I get nothing.How I would know it is right is that I have used it in harmless things like buying gorceries(finding something I like),games and relieving fear about a loved one.I even have premintions from time to time.I am SURE you know where this is leading.


Here in lies the problem,

I know what it says in the bible,therfore I am afraid that what is going on with me is something psychic.I am not sure.What I am trying to decide is my anxitey over this,god's way of trying to keep me from it or is it the devil trying to keep me from using a tool/gift of god and perhaps fufilling something the lord has planned for me????

You see,I would give up this writing just to be with him.I want to know and belive that I am living a path where I be with him when I die,or at least have some kinda of idea that I am.

It's very early,so I am gonna stop now but I want to breifly explain part of the origns of my concern.I am and open-minded person and despite being a christian,I had an interest in numerology and tarot cards,mainly numerology.I ment nothing be it,it was entertainment.I also attempted to contact both my mother and my uncle after their deaths.These events were put to rest by a friend warning me away from divination and shall we say,unpleasent situations involving my "contacting'. Ever since then,I through My ocd have obsessivly worried that have my have brought the devil on myself,I actually thought I was possessed.


Anyway,thank you for your time.

With Love and Peace,

God Bless,

Polethebear
 
Pole, welcome.

I won't comment specifically on your situation except to say you should be evaluated medically/psychologically, but take the result with a grain of salt-or a pound.

I'm a liberal Christian and our response to this sort of thing is that it represents what mental health people call "magical thinking" and has no basis in reality. Some conservative Christians do believe in actual physical demons and therefore oppose such things. I hope some will post their perspectives here so you can see the different viewpoints. Whatever happens I wish you well.
