When I was a boy I thought I was a prophet of God

Unusual Beliefs

I thought I was an old testament prophet like Jonah, I thought I have a mission and that God was with me. However, I was delusional these days, now somehow I’m starting to feel God’s presence, am I being delusional?

It doesn’t matter what we believe. What matters is what YOU believe. Religion/Spirituality is all dependent on the individual. It is clearly possible that your mental illness (schizophernia) distorts your perception as well as your system of beliefs; however, if you believe something to be true no one else can tell you otherwise. That’s what I have learned. What you need to do is test it. What evidence do you have that you may or may not be a “prophet?” Delusions can take us far away from our friends and family, and often times they are not good, but if this “belief” does not harm you or anyone and you simply want to help others, well I see nothing inherently wrong. Check yourself. Test it against all evidence.

When I was young I really wanted to be a prophet of God and prayed for it often. When I got into my teens I started becoming delusional and believed I actually was. I held onto that belief until my first hospitalization. Now I say I was a false prophet and see it as one of my greater sins. I don’t tell people outside of my family and internet anonymously though. I’ve witnessed some strange things and I believe for sure God spoke to me in a dream once and when I asked about being His prophet He said you are not sent. I didn’t understand the meaning of that until after I read the Old Testament later. It’s from the book of Jeremiah I think in which God says about the false prophets I did not send them yet they ran.

I thought I was the anti-christ, a false prophet, a fallen angel, a watcher, etc. I’ve read “The Story” and have a nice bible, but I cannot read it because I get delusional. I believe I used to be a computer simulator and had encounters with aliens.
