Because of my past involvement in the occult, i literally cannot escape the temptation to get back into it. it torments me and hypersaturates my entire being at every minute. I need to know how to be "unbound" from all this. I need a solution that doesn't involve prayer, because even my prayers are flooded with temptation to make them spells, and i don't know how to not, or if i am. I've tried confessing my sins and repenting, but it doesn't help. The temptation is still just as strong. It is NOT a choice i make when it's too strong to resist. It genuinely is like an almighty force of pure spiritual evil that forces my soul to buckle under the pressure of temptation. I litteraly DO NOT HAVE THE POWER to NOT do it, no matter how much i want to not even while doing it. I'm telling you this is NOT me. I don't know if it's demons, an alternate personality, or just plain insanity, but it's not my fault. I just need a way to get it to stop.

I have to admit that I don't understand what you mean here. I will say, pray anyway with a deliberate and aware mind, recognize when you are turning prayers into spells (?!?!?), and make a deliberate effort to stay in contact with God during your prayers.

And I'll pray for you too.

Maybe you'll grow out of it with time.

You're not crazy. You may need some people to lay hands on you and pray for your deliverance.

I'm praying the Lord keep his hand on you and guide you to the right people.

I plead the blood of Jesus over you. Don't be afraid to speak His name and plead the blood over yourself.
