For the past 4 months, I have been plagued by very sick and demonic intrusive thoughts. I pray constantly, but they do not go away.

Is there a reason why this is happening?

Edit: I used to have them constantly for most of 2023, but they mostly went away after I stopped watching porn and cleaned my life up. Then they came roaring back around mid August of this year out of the blue.

It’s demonic influence. The closer you grow to Christ the more this shit happens. I wake from the most vivid dreams of shit I would NEVER do while awake. It is what it is.

The more the devil attacks the stronger your faith that you're doing right should be.

Christ is King, now and forever. Amen.

Do you sleep next to your wi-fi router?

It sounds like you've got a parasite riding your brain.

I'd recommend fasting for four (*count 'em --* FOUR) full days of nothing but black coffee. And then when the fast is over, start using a lot of cayenne pepper in your food for a while until they're all dead.

They hate that stuff. The hotter you can stand, the better.

More like how to raise your cortisol and completely rape your intestinal lining and cause leaky gut. Black coffee is a bean juice for retarded goys.

I don't drink coffee. Will this be a problem? Also, do you have any experience with black walnut?

Pure green tea (ceremonial grade matcha) might work as well.

You get used to it, like black coffee.

Don't do this. It will injure you. Get a Water Distiller to ensure you don't have parasites. But you probably don't have parasites anyway, just a need for healthier food and more fitness.

Most people have parasites. But they’re a compensatory mechanism for all the horrible crap that accumulates in our bodies

I guess you could drink...*ugh*...water. But that just sounds gross.

LPT: Water's not a beverage. It's the base material from which beverages are made. To me, drinking it is like eating flour and calling it cookies.

First off—it's not demons. Ignore every person telling you it's demons. Believing that shit is *guaranteed* to make it worse.

At minimum, it means you're an intelligent individual with a rich internal architecture and a functioning imagination. You might have OCD-adjacent wiring. Your brain is perfectly capable of spontaneously generating thoughts, images, even "voices" inside your head that don't require an outside source. Half the battle is in how you choose to perceive such stimuli.

Making it a spiritual issue when it isn't one strips away the sobriety that *should* be your greatest defense. If you sincerely believe that your own thoughts are the direct oppression of an external, malevolent force, two things will happen:

1. They will become more vivid on account of this willful detachment from reality. Similar principle to getting immersed in a film.

2. Your brain will panic at this perceived threat, and produce intrusive stimuli at a heightened frequency.

That second point is key to understanding why this happens. A lot of the intrusive imagery you experience is your brain compulsively conjuring worst case scenarios *in response* to certain thoughts, subjects, or stimuli.

Example: You see a child waiting at a bus stop. Your brain, with distress, thinks "God, it would be horrible if I pushed that child into traffic."

But you don't experience that thought as a verbal musing. What you experience instead is an immediate, brief but vivid image of you pushing the child into traffic.

Paradoxically, your brain is trying to warn you *against* the thing you're afraid of doing, by making you "experience" the discomfort of doing it. It's skipping words altogether and going straight to mental simulation. It actually speaks to you having a *stronger* moral compass than average.

These are the two biggest things you can do to make it better:

1. When intrusive thoughts happen, consciously address them, and explicitly name it for what it is. See if you can trace it back to the source. "This is my brain conjuring spontaneous imagery. It's conjuring this specific image because I have X feelings towards Y subject. It has no moral implications."

The more you strip intrusive thoughts of having any meaning or grandeur, the less vivid they become. Once you realize it's just your brain doing its thing, you can cease to be bothered by them altogether.

2. Try to reduce chronic stress in your life as much as possible. This is the #1 hugest thing that makes this sort of issue worse. If you can instead feel calm and at peace 24/7 as your default state, your brain will be infinitely less inclined to spin its wheels with drastic scenarios. Take stock of your life. Anything agitating you? It could be something you're not consciously aware of (a bad relationship, nutritional deficiency, etc.)

Lastly, I want to make clear that I'm not attempting to mock or dismiss the faith aspect outright. I'm just trying to illuminate how it's a *categorical mismatch* with the issue you're describing. At worst, it's like a lesser version of those "faith healers" who let their kids die of a common illness because they prayed instead of just getting him medicine.

Quick experiment you can do if you want to qualify this against your spiritual rubric: Rebuke the intrusive thoughts in the name of Jesus.

Does it have no effect? Does it go away and come right back? Does it become worse?

If so, cool. You've just confirmed it's not demons. Demons are banished if you invoke Jesus' name, so if that does nothing subtantial, you're dealing with something psychological in nature.

All this is me speaking out of my own life experience. I dealt with distressing intrusive thoughts for several years, almost schizophrenia-like at points. Everything I just described was the road map that made me go from that level of vividness to literally never having them again. Spiritualizing the issue made it significantly worse, and contributed heavily to proliferating it. Reframing it as a quirk of my brain, reducing stress, and practicing mindfulness made it go away entirely.

From personal experience, intrusive thoughts are usually the manifestations of mental instability. It's the worst parts of yourself gaining power. Are you under heavy mental stress? Back when I was about 11-12 mine got so bad they gained sentience. They don't really go away, but you can learn to ignore them. If you want to, check for vitamin imbalances you might have. That could help. It could even be completely psychosomatic, and they only exist because you think they do. Deny their existence and they might leave.

You would have to be a little more specific if you are asking for a cause

When you say pray, who are you praying to? Jesus or someone else?

 It could be that some wicked spiritual thing has attached itself to you and is filling your mind with these thoughts. Pray and fast and try listening to some Gregorian chant. No joke, the chant can being peace to my mind sometimes. Wicked spiritual things do not like to listen to God and Jesus and the Holy Spirit being praised, the music may send them away for a break. It won't hurt to try. Here's what I used before.

Same here and you’re not alone in it. I’m convinced that it’s demons trying their hardest to influence and scare you away from the truth.

Mine started about 2 years ago after some horrible pharmaceuticals. Maybe six months ago, I had a night terror. I couldn’t move or breathe. Some…thing sat on my chest. It was an old woman. Something else stood there and watched.

Read the Parasite Pill 2.0

One of the chapters will discuss how to kill the parasites.

This is a great blessing! You have the demons attention! Continue to pray and bring this to your spiritual father. He will be able to help you with this. If you don't have one you should get one quickly.

Perhaps your intrusive thoughts are an answered prayer: a trial you must overcome to make you spiritually healthier and bring you closer to Jesus?

Perhaps Jesus needs you for a mission that requires you to learn to fortify your spirit and mind?

Don't react to them. They bother you and keep coming back because you place importance on them when they happen. It's a mild form of OCD, so look into how those people manage it.

4 months? Yeah, i doubt they will completely go away after that. You can learn from that, but... i'm too lazy to write wall of text about my experience and what you can learn.
Besides, you would have to be more specific about your experience.

Take inventory of your life, an honest inventory. What does your list reveal?
FedSocial on scored.co

What kind of thoughts? (violent/sexual/morbid/depressing/...?)
 
Are they words?
   * Distinct voices or your own internal voice?
   * Do they talk to you or about you?
   * Are they stable and repetitive or chaotic?
 
Are they images or internal "movies"?
   * Unclear and shifting or distinct and stable?
   * Is there like a glow or iconic feel to them?

What somatic reactions are you experiencing during these thoughts?

At what times do they usually come? (After waking up/noonday/evening?)

Are they usually triggered by something or arise out of the blue?

How is your sleep schedule?

What do you eat? When do you eat? How much do you eat?

Do you drink alcohol / take drugs?

How exactly do you pray?

Maybe they are good thoughts and you’re not impartial enough to judge them accordingly.
