I too would like to know this. But I guess you need to pray.

Well the key is that you wouldn't differentiate, not on your own. You should only do so with the aid of a spiritual father, your priest, etc. Otherwise, always be skeptical regarding such experiences.

You'll know them by their fruits or what they're trying to get you to do or not do

intrusive sinful thoughts are from demons. there are many. just say a hail mary or something you like it goes away. really it does. don't believe me? try it. if it's something gross/lewd etc it's from a demon most likey. if you pray it 100% goes away.

also why i think mental health "science" is nonsense. seriously even if it's really bad pray for an hour, i don't think there's anyone(any demon) who can withstand an hour of prayer. no joke it really goes away you don't feel any of it. it's sad the church seems to have acquiesced to muh mental illness. i'm like 95% sure there is no such things, just demons playing with people and people accepting it.

pray bro/sis, it will definitely fix it (i had issues like this before and prayer would stop it, they basically gave up). God bless you!

Then demons are really obsessed with me.

I had a really long and meaning full talk with a friend about this recently. My conclusion is to seek answers in the word of God. If the thought is something biblical, like wanting to plant a church in Ethiopia or something, then it should be possible to discern that as good (from God). In essence, cross reference if what you're thinking of can be supported biblically. Like the other anon said, other spiritual help (pastor, priest, mentor/whatever)is also there to help you.

Then channel your faith, draw your +3 sword of banishment forged in the holy fires of GTFO, shout "by the power of Christ; demons, IDA NAHUI! Mentally swinging and cutting foul thoughts where they stand.

PURGE THE MIND!

Pray the rosary everyday, demons hate to interact with intellects that are meditating on the mysteries. Go to confession, go to mass, go to eucharistic adoration. Demons aren't going to spend an hour with you in eucharistic adoration. Then you'll know if something is from God
