About 40 years ago while in the air force, stationed in england, I was made to go into a psych word at the base hospital. I had been depressed due to being hurt over a lost love, and used sad poems to vent my sadness, and I accidentally sent a letter to my mother with one of my poems on the backside of my letter to her. She called the base commander and the hospital commander and wanted me to be interred to the psych ward for evaluation. It was embarrassing, to even temporarily lose my freedom, due to others thinking I would consider suicide. Never the less, in the group sessions in the psych ward, I made my faith known, and that although saddened by a broken heart, the Lord helped me deal with the sadness to where I would not seriously consider taking my life. I was let out in a couple of weeks to go back to work, but my witness allowed me to share my faith with others and another young man in the psych ward asked the Lord into his life due to my witness, so indeed all things can work to the glory of God.
There are real voices that speak into our minds, and those who are not associated with a real spiritual lifestyle, will often consider them to be made up in our own minds to deal with problems we have. Although the mind is indeed capable of making seperate personalities to advise us on things in our lives, those voices might also be spiritual "real" voices from spirits both good and/or bad. God will send his angels who will sometimes whisper things into our minds, sometimes the Holy Spirit will whisper something into our minds, and finally sometimes evil spirits will whisper things into our minds. It can be confusing sometimes as to whether these voices in our minds are our own voices or the real spiritual voices. The devil would love us to accept the evil whispers as our own all the time, so as to think we are evil and unworthy of God's love. But accepting that real spiritual voices speak to us and its not always our own minds creating these voices, is probably the first step in the right direction. Then you must refuse to accept evil spirits bad voices into your mind as your own, and refuse to keep them in your mind. Claim the power of Jesus to cast them away from you, and they will go. They must leave in the name of Jesus. Never the less, their are a whole lot of evil spirits, and casting one away doesnt mean more wont attack your mind this way, just be patient and use the name and power of Jesus to make them leave you. With time the attacks will lessen as the devil see's that you have learned how to deal with them. Then the devil will probably find a new way to attack you, but you will have grown a lot spiritually in dealing with those spiritual whispers. They exercise your mind into dealing with the spiritual realm more readily with the Power of Jesus and His Holy name.
