Comments by Joan Boney:  After I was born again in 1975, the Holy Spirit cast 3 devils out of me.  One was "a double minded spirit" ... it was a smart alek type and was skipping through my check cavities when it ran directly into the Holy Spirit.  That devil darted back and tried to hide from the Holy Spirit.  But the Holy Spirit said, "I see you.  You must go from her.  You must go.  You must go.  You must go."  There was a fierce struggle but the Holy Spirit forced that devil to leave and I felt the evil spirit tear through my throat as it left my body.  (I was born again when this happened so it shows me a Christian can have a devil living inside of him.)

Another of those spirits was a lying spirit.  And there was a third (unnamed spirit) that was cast out by the Holy Spirit.

Each instance happened while I was sleeping but God allowed me to witness this though I was asleep at the time.
