""I don't know if you thought this very compalling technique up or got it from somewhere, but thanks for bringing it to this forum ""
Your very welcome. I hope it helps. It has helped me for many years.
I thought it up AND got it from somewhere.
I am of the opinion that we don't have a thought of our own.
That can be a bad thing as in the case of influence by "Fliers", or demonic spirits.
It can also be a good thing if the Spirit is that of God.
We were created as empty vessels waiting to be filled.
We also can decide which type of spirit we are filled with.
The real problem is once you are filled with a lot of the "Bad" stuff, you don't have the Will or mental faculties to deal with the situation.
That is the situation for alchoholics and drug addicts, etc.
But if they are made aware of their situation, and make a step toward God, Power, Jesus,...He will make more than one step towards them.
That is the story of the "Prodigal Son". While he was "still a long way off, his father ran to meet him".
I have seen some of the depths and highths.
It can be a long journey, but well worth the effort.
And "stopping the internal dialog" is the most powerful tool that we have in becoming aware of what we are surrounded by.
