Thanks brother, I feel sometimes depressed and bad with myself, because I dont know where or how this thoughts and voices can come out. But the enemy is certainly putting this thoughts on me, and my mind is also being attacked at the point I am loosing my memory .
God Bless you, and thanks again for your prayers.

But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
1 Corinthians 15:57
Brother I have prayed for you and I am confident that the Lord hears our prayers and will deliver you
Just a few things to ponder.
Yes how easy it is for us to let our thoughts get unruly and out of control. That evil deceiver satan whispers into our mind and try to get our thoughts to take control so that we act on them….whether it be fear lust anger etc
But Praise the Lord ……satan has no power over you. You belong to Jesus and His word says
We are more than conquerors through Him that loved us
Romans 8:37
So when these thoughts come you have two choices to entertain them and let them grow. Or to rebuke them immediately and give them no place in your mind.
It is not as difficult as you may think to rebuke and stop these evil thoughts….you can do all things through Christ which strengthens you Philippians 4:19
You need to fill your mind with the Word of God and His promises the moment the thoughts come in. [
If you are not in a place where you can read then I have found that by simply saying or whispering the name of Jesus is powerful enough to stop the process of the thoughts
Look at these verses
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God
Romans 12:2
There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
1 Corinthians 10:13
Bless you brother
If the Son therefore shall make you free, you shall be free indeed.
John 8:36
1 Corinthians 15:57

Don't be upset by the noise that seeks to drown out God's words dwelling in you.Protect those words of life in you by visiting with them frequently.
2 Corinthians 10:5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
If a thought does not agree with the finished work of Jesus then it is an imagination.Jesus said he is the Truth so the Truth never changes.
That which is true at the moment is subject to change so it does not always agree with the Truth. Do not claim them as your thoughts if they do not agree with the Truth.Find the Truth and enforce it with your tongue.Your thoughts don't have the ability to speak,they need your tongue to speak their purpose into the earth.
I torture evil thoughts with scripture and praises and worship.
Here is the Truth:.
1 John 4:16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.
1 John 4:17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.
Take that to those evil little thoughts and tell them to put it in their little evil pipes and smoke dat.
John 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
I'll pray for your victory in this battle.

Thoughts.
rickygtz
My mother use to be bright, sharp, good looking, confident, loved God. She would listen to all the current teachers of her day. She loves the Gaithers. (Who come to Branson where I am at)
Something happened though. She was never taught the Word was final authority. Sure, she went to nice churches, but the teaching taught that in many ways, God was mysterious. You just never could look at a scripture and know for sure if that would be true in your life. The power of the word was just a faint concept. The teaching of Noah, Mosses, Jonah, where good biblical history, good stories, nothing much more.
The thoughts started when I was an older teen. Just thoughts, that's all. Somehow my mom felt she had disappointed God. Then the thought that because she had disappointed God, that most certainly would cause the death of her Children.
These thoughts worried her. My mom had the word of God in her, but it never occurred to her the Word was final authority, the power to change anything for those that believe. The power to heal any sickness, If God said by his stripes ye are healed, it's the same word that says we are saved by faith through grace. You better take it as fact, and believe only that.
My mom was never taught to think like this.
Soon, my mother started to fast. Her fear of loosing her two younger kids became stronger and stronger. She never took the word and made her stand, simply felt that God was telling her something.
The voices:
The voices started, your kids will die because of your sins. Soon, my mom was writing things down she felt God was telling her. It was gibberish, but real to her. This was the first time she made an attempt on her life.
years went by, she had been in and out of mental hospitals. The meds, that effect your mind, the crazy thinking had changed her.
The best the doctors could do is give her so many meds that she was like a zombie. functional somewhat, but still a zombie.
Today she lives in a mental home in Kentucky. I had plans to bring her home, but realized I would not even be able to take care of her. She forgets who I am even. I have visited a few times, and its a depressing place, yet her life is simple, and she no longer seems to care. All the plans for her life Gone, nothing. It's sad.

Don't you ever say again brother that your memory is being effected. Your youth is renewed like the Eagles. Your sharp, and bright. A strangers voice you will not follow. You have the mind of Christ, and not the spirit of fear. You write down those scriptures, you keep those in front of you. Carry them, confess them. Make your stand. The devil is defeated!!! There is no more battle, but victory. You resist the devil, stop confessing what he has done, you are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus, more than a conqueror. When you feel tired, and weak, you say I am strong.
God's word can not fail, ever.
Jesus Is Lord.

Hi Ricky, I am no stranger to what you are going through, battling wicked thoughts, so you are in my prayers! I don't know what your exact situation is, but in my case I know how these things can be very intense and wearying.
The enemy can be relentless, but the victory is already ours in Jesus Christ, even at those times where we may momentarily feel overwhelmed.
Praise be to God Almighty that when we are weak He is STRONG for us!!
Psalm 55:22 Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous fall.
1 John 4:4
Regarding your request that we help you to pray harder to overcome your battle, whether our prayers are weak or strong - any prayers - God hears us and is ready to help, comfort and bless us. Take care.

My blog: Don't Be Afraid To Go To Church - can make your courage like a giant over Satan's evil power of sin. Let Jesus take control of the steering wheel of your life and watch how Christians at church cheerfully react and how they are delighted to meet you: not just because of you, but that you have the spiritual Lord Jesus in your heart as your guardian protector against all detrimentally cruel levels of sin. Our faith in Jesus grows stronger than ever before as each new Christian, coming from a non-Christian background, has accepted Jesus Christ in these times of financial hardship and mother nature's disastrous killers such as tornadoes.
