HOW TO DEAL WITH A SINFUL PAST
QUESTION? / COMMENT!
I was wondering if you had any ideas or help with dealing with my wife's sinful past? I guess I just was wondering on how to deal with the thought of her past sins that have greatly effected me. While I have received some healing through spiritual direction and going to latin mass, I feel the evil one is laying the thoughts on thick. I have no idea why I'm being attacked with these thoughts. I chose to wait for marriage and my wife was a victim of sexual abuse and that led her to a promiscuous lifestyle for a period of time. She had a reversion and now is all in for the catholic faith which is great, but the past is still present in my mind unfortunately. Any help either spiritual warfare or advice would be greatly appreciated.

The Our Father (Matthew 6:7-15) gives us what is contingent for our salvation, namely to forgive others. How many times, 7 times 70, in other words, always (Matthew 18:21-22).
Acts 8:23 - "For I see that you are in the gall of bitterness and in the bondage of iniquity.” Bitterness, lack of forgiveness can bring spiritual bondage.
Satan - a transliteration of the Hebrew word for "adversary" or "accuser originally acts like a "prosecuting attorney" in God's court, the one who opposes or accuses human beings of their sins (Job 1-2; Zech 3:1-2; 1 Chron 21:1) only later (post-biblical) thought of as a fallen angel, a force opposing God, or the embodiment of Evil mentioned 36 times in the NT (4-Mt, 6-Mk, 5-Lk, 1-Jn, 2-Acts, 10-Paul, 8-Rev)
Devil - (greek) ‘Diabolos’ from the root ‘dia-ballo’ which means ‘to divide or separate,’ the Greek word diabolos also means "slanderer." used twice in the NT for human beings as "slanderers" (1 Tim 2:11; Titus 2:3), used 35 times for the "Devil" (6-Mt, 0-Mk, 5-Lk, 3-Jn, 2- Acts, 8-Paul, 8-Cath, 5-Rev), connected with the "ancient serpent" and the "dragon" in Rev 12:1-18 & 20:
Those accusing thoughts about your wife come from satan, he is trying to destroying your marriage. You must resist him (cf. I Peter 5:8-9).
Start praying Our Fathers, Hail Mary's, Glory be's, St Michael the Archangel prayers until the diabolical communication STOPS, and it will. You SMASH diabolical thought tampering (aka diabolic projection) through faith and prayer.
