I’m sorry, but we mortals are fallible creatures and easily deceived. We can very easily delude each other and ourselves. So, I don’t see any reason that an evil spirit couldn’t make us feel euphoric or ecstatic, in order to deceive us.

Because there are eternal laws at play here. An evil spirit can not make us feel joy. Nor can it commune with our spirit. Nor can an evil spirit intrude on prayers to God.

An evil spirit cannot teach us truth or bring peace.

If you want to see a real example of an evil spirit, you can find real examples in "Revival meetings". Where people think they are speaking in tongues, but really it's just gibberish. Or when they roll around on the ground uncontrollably. That's what an evil spirit does.

Matt 8:32 And he said unto them, Go. And when they were come out, they went into the herd of swine: and, behold, the whole herd of swine ran violently down a steep place into the sea, and perished in the waters.

If you're sincerely praying to God, the devil has no power to intrude on that, nor can he hear your thoughts.

The Holy Ghost brings peace to our spirit. It teaches and testifies of truth. It never tries to control us. Big difference.

Where exactly are these “eternal laws” spelled out?

I prayed about the BoM and God said RUN run away now.
