Okay I've been wanting to ask a Calvinist this for a while

I would sever my right leg at the knee to talk to a true prophet of God...
A true prophet's mission is to turn people back to God; telling the future and revealing secrets is just a way to get attention for the real mission.

Becoming a Christian is the beginning of cancelling all curses and punishments.

Regarding your current situation:
Do you want to repent of your sins and accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior?

Do you want God's grace and blessing which can never be taken away?

More knowledge cannot solve your issues, only submission to the will of the Father can.

Yes I definitely do 100 percent. The thing is God has to draw you unto him and only true repentance is possible by means of the Holy Spirit (as I understand things). The renewing of the mind can only happen by the Holy Spirit, and my mind is still utter rubbish with no real change in nearly a year of trying to repent. I feel like someone I imagine in Hell would feel like wanting to repent but can't for obvious reasons. But I'm alive and ill never quit trying as long as I have breath.

Your assumptions are inconsistent.

Vessels of wrath are not miserable about their state in relation to God.

People in hell don't want to repent. . .they want to defy God and get even.

You seem to misunderstand repentance. . .it is that mighty change of mind and heart from unbelief to belief in Jesus Christ, which results in a progressive change of life.

I wouldn't dismiss it.

The hearing of sounds is indicative.
An M.D. might think medication is in order.

That's encouraging.
I just read another of your threads. It seems very possible that the root source of your trouble is demonic.

When I was a younger Christian, I had to deal with several demonic attacks on my mind. Fortunately, for me, they did not last, but they were powerful.

Demons are not always in people, sometimes they just remain outside a person and harass them. It even happened to Jesus.

There is no way any of us can diagnose you via the internet, so I suggest you get counseling from a ministry that has experience with freeing people from spiritual bondage.

There are also some books you can read such as The Bondage Breaker by Neil T. Anderson.
