- Faith.
- The desire to help others (charity).
The losing of faith and charity are the main reasons for the
exorcist losing the capacity of exorcizing (which is usually a
gradual process to allow corrections), regardless of any other
1
positive factors such as years of good practice, institutions to
which he or she belongs, degrees, studies, etc.

The function of the patient after liberation consists of doing
everything possible to avoid new spiritual aggression,
attending to the exorcist's orientations or at least putting them
into practice as a test.
The exorcist has the obligation and the right to orientate the
patients under the terms of his belief system. Although, at this
point, it may be appropriate to observe the following:
On the one hand, we must consider that there are people who
learn more with their own experiences than with exhortations
of other people. By another, if the communication between
exorcist and patient finishes, it can produce in some cases
hard situations for the second one. Thus, if the exorcist has to
interact with a resistant to counseling patient, it is proposed
that, at a minimum, he finds a kind of relationship in which
the patient will feel that he or she has the freedom to request
a deliverance procedure knowing that won’t be pressured by
the exorcist afterward in any way.

• It is even possible that the patient does not absorb specific
information because God does not allow it at that moment,
because his soul needs to live some experiences without
having that knowledge for better self-development.
• Ultimately, only God knows the path that each soul has to
follow.

• If the exorcism causes the elimination or improvement of
disease symptoms, to accompany the changes and decide
whether to discharge or not the patient will be the exclusive
function of the doctor.
