Default Can you do something satanic by thinking it? Please help!?

Hello,

I'm had more scruples so I looked up on google "I hear voices". I found one on Yahoo answers and read it. Some pervert said that satan was the creator, and that the poster should seek protection from it. They put it as him with a capital H and now I feel very disturbed. I'm having scruples of 'calling to the devil' but that is NOT something I want to do. Only God can read my mind right? Is this a sin? I have a bad feeling. You know how light and good you feel when you cross yourself with Holy water, or after you come out of the confessional? Well I feel the opposite of that. I feel like the Holy Spirit (as a side note I never feel it strongly outside of church, how can I fix that?) just left. Will I be able to get it back, please help. I thought that when I was baptized (I was 16 months old) it would be irreversible, should I be baptized again?

I'm short on time but I'll say this. Only God knows your thoughts. The devil does not. It sounds like you are dealing with intrusive thoughts. Often times the harder we try to get rid of thoughts the more they seem to come back. It is not a sin because you are not willingly doing it. I'll post more later.

Try to forget about it. If it doesn't go away PM me, I've been through this. It's miserable if it isn't killed immediately. I know the feeling, and it's undescribable. It's very weird isn't it? I suggest that you get some H2oly just to be safe. Talk to a priest about it. If it persists more than 3 months I'd see about an exorcism.....that's just me though.

It is only possible to be baptised once.

I know that same feeling, cause I've been (and still am) dealing with it for a long time. Most of the time, the way to clear those thoughts, is to meditate, clear the mind for a while, and constantly pray to God. The other way to clear them, is to keep your mind occupied with a job or something, and focus on keeping your mind on that, no matter how long it may be, and keep praying. Those thoughts are to keep your mind in a box, to only think about that, so you have to try to think outside the box, and are nothing more then satan disturbing you, He just mad, and wants you back, and is using another lie, and trick, to do it. Just brush him off.

Btw, if you talk to a Priest, or if you know people in your church that have the gift of healing, ask them to pray over you, so that you can get some healing for the mind.

Just some advise from somebody who has the same problem, and found some ways to deal with them, without medication.
