Of course, "positive" beliefs that are excessively grandiose (thinking your some kind of great figure, prophet or some sort, headed for fame, etc.)are not be good either because that can come across as very stereotypically "crazy". Otherwise, having positive beliefs are generally potentially beneficial. You could look at it like you have had a sort of religious awakening rather than psychosis.
Trickster demons can make you believe very determental things,but I think people believing they are Jesus etc is just some sort of divine beauty flowing through them and they don't know how to interpret it except in these cultural models and symbols.
