Hi,
This is something that I've never mentioned before to anybody but I'd just like to find out something.
I know as Christians, we become conscious of sin in a new way ever since being born again. Sin becomes so much vile and we often struggle fighting it through the progressive sanctification of our christian life.
But what I would like to know is,
Is it that much of a battle, so much as to an extent, to have uncontrollable sinful thoughts, almost as if there's another personality in your head?
I'd be more specific.
eg.
-split second flashes of sinful acts in your head for no reason. (split second, because you cut them off once they come. but why they come (given the circumstances) is still pretty much for no reason.
-hearing another voice (and u dunno if its really you or another voice) that blasphemes God for a split second even though u try to fight it and u feel totally wretched after that because u don't want to. (not as often)
Is this a sign of serious spiritual warfare? (That is I presume most christians don't experience that.)
Please help. Thanks
