I live in constant fear of sinning against the Holy Spirit and of losing my mind. Could this fear be a tormenting spirit?
In answer to this question, let me first stress that fear of any type is wrong and is of satanic origin. What we must realize is that the Bible says the devil is the accuser of the brethren. (Rev. 12:10.) Many people are fearful of sinning against the Holy Spirit when there is no reason for such fear. To sin against the Holy Spirit, a person's total spirit, soul, and body must turn violently against the Bible and hate God. This really means that not many people have committed this unpardonable and unforgivable sin.
The second fear, that of losing one's mind, is also one which torments many people unnecessarily. Since God never torments anyone in this way, it is easy to discern that it is Satan who brings such destroying thoughts. As I have stated previously, fear has no rational basis. This is seen very clearly in this case. When you are attacked by fear, you are not losing your mind, neither are you sinning against the Holy Spirit. When that happens, you should obey what the Apostle James says: Resist the devil, and he will flee from you (James 4:7).
A tormenting spirit can only go as far as permitted. It is up to you to take action against it.
Once Rev. Kenneth Hagin, wishing to pray for a person for deliverance, could see a small devil between him and the sick person. This devil was making all kinds of noises and jumping about hysterically, trying to keep Brother Hagin from getting deliverance for the woman. He prayed, "Lord, remove this thing." To which the Lord replied, "You move it. You command it to go."
When he did, the spirit was instantly gone and the person for whom he was praying was delivered.
You must not permit the devil to torment you through lies. Our souls are perfectly secure through the blood of Jesus Christ. Paul assures us,
God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind (2 Tim.
You have a divine right to claim a sound mind and certainly God will grant it to you.
