How can we tell that is the darkness and not the Holy Spirit.

[Twistie]

You might want to dig and find out how those entities came in the first place, maybe there is something you can do there. Because when that door is closed, she should feel much better as the entities cannot reach her the same way, ideally renouncing at the same time..
The exorcists say the biggest entrances is the occult, illicit sexual activites, drugs. That for some, it only takes one time. It is rare, most times The Lord protects, but it can happen. Most common is oppression. Possession is rarer, even though it does happen. It is important to have a relationship with God to be free. Some kind of relationship. when she realise how much they are destroying her life.. the ramifications of it. She might not have an idea or big idea about that. You know there are deliverance ministries, and the catholic church have exorcists in their parishes, not all, but there are, and if one contact the directory they can help. They do a thourough examination, both mentally and spiritually, many times they send the person to a psychologist, and encourage doctors visits. To exclude. They say about 50% of cases are both demonic and mental health. It is also very common that evil plays with your mind. Not all thoughts are yours, they advice always align your thoughts with the word. Just think about it, how many run around influenced like that.
I know it would probably be hard to get her to see a priest like that, but ultimately it would be a good one. Because the problems will gradually get worse. It can take years, evil work systematically and break one down. we have to ask God to put a break on.

Ya too many like to lay hands on people because they feel it should be so..not I unless the Lord tells me to I'm not even entertaining the Idea.. so many causing more pain n evil doing their will instead of the Lord..unless one is called by the Lord and taught how to get rid off and bind the evil entities they just go around looking for a new home..

When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none.
Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished.
Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation."

For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.”
