Dealing with intrusive thoughts that are ungodly and aggressive.
In Romans 7 Paul speaks of a type of sin that is separate from him, it is not I who sin but the sin within me.
This sin that indwells the tent body of the born again Christian, tries it's damnedest to take on the identity of the person who is dead: the old you.
It uses your memories and masquerades as you, even tries to imitate what God does to throw you off. It's really in this game to win it. The prize, your perception of "who you are" and it wants to be part of that.
The sin actually wants nothing, but it assumed the ego of the dead person through the remaining memories. As this element matures, Christians begin believing that they were never saved at all, and wonder "where has God done?"
The short answer to the question is, sin covered up the presence of God, it got too big, so you can't perceive Him right now. If this is happening to you.
The bible speaks of confessing sins so God cleanses sin, so confessing sins helps. However, when sin matures, it becomes as death as James writes in his letter.
When a sin becomes as death, John wrote in one of his letters that people were not obligated to pray for someone when that happens. This is because, it fights back.
Many people mistake this for a demon, because also written in Hebrews is that death is the power of the devil.
The point of this is, sin becoming magnified in a Christian's life based on the law magnifying sin is the reason for the intrusive thoughts. A new phenomenon happened, so the carnal mind seeks out new information. For a while seeking out a church and finding a bible to read are the only things that matter. So you had genuine desire to seek God, the carnal mind also had genuine reasons to gather vital information about a new phenomena.
The thoughts are seeded into a base level of the mind, so to defeat it, you need to do some divine gardening of your own.
The truth is:

The truth is:
- The activity is divine.
- People may feel discouraged praying for you due to spiritual oppression in return.
- You'll need to ask God and work on this with Him.
- Since the issue is on a foundational level of the mind and heart, the solution may take more than a decade to start seeing results.
