So i am in a difficult situation, because I don't know whether the Holy Spirit is convicting me or if the enemy is trying to condemn me.

Last year I entered into a courtship with the boyfriend I have now. Well we were kinda on and off with the courtship until late 2014. Well a couple months after everything had just started, you know getting to know each other. I had a dream about an ex boyfriend and I started to miss him. So i got into contact with my ex, but hadn't broken off the courtship, well a few weeks later the courtship ended because I was being too distant. Well of course nothing worked out with my ex, so I confronted my boyfriend , who wasn't my boyfriend at the time, about certain issues I was going through and why I was distancing myself, but left out the part of my ex. Then as we were going through the process of getting to know each other I never thought of my ex again. Well in about late November, I started to think about what I did, and feeling so bad. And now that we are together it hasn't stopped. I have asked God to cleanse me and forgive me of this sin, but now I don't know what to do. Yes I know what I did was so foolish and that he didn't deserve it.

Have you tried telling this guy that you are still thinking of your ex? Maybe part of you feeling guilty is because you're keeping it from him.

So basically you told your boyfriend everything but the truth, and now you think satan is making you feel guilty?
Doesn't it make more sense that this is the kind of behavior satan would encourage? Lies. Deception.
You let a relationship end, and lead your boyfriend to believe it was for reasons other than what you told him. You have restarted your relationship on a lie. That is the foundation of your relationship now.

I'm not thinking about my ex anymore, there's no point in it.

Satan calls us by our sins, but Jesus calls us by name.. :) Leave your ex alone, you want no part of that back. Be honest with your current bf. Tell him you've been thinking of your ex lately, but that's all it is: just a fleeting thought. If you feel bad about what you did, just repent it to God and ask for forgiveness..

yes, @blue_ladybug that is true. I cried out to God last night and I am more willing to be honest with my boyfriend. I have asked God for forgiveness, but I know that I need to be at peace with members of the body, which includes my boyfriend. I had a very troubled spirit about all of this but I know what I need to do

You don't ever stop thinking of Ex's that is why God tells us to be careful. Your ex will always be apart of your memories. What you need to focus on is binding those thoughts in the name of jesus and not acting on them. It is the acting that got you in trouble.
