1256. Once also, being in the company of angels, I then had a firm belief in matters that I could not have believed in when outside of the angels' company. So it is easy for the Lord to give belief to anyone, and indeed, so that they think they have faith. But because their inward parts do not harmonize with it, and their life opposes it, this is an extraordinary occurrence. One may also deduce from this how human minds are guided and bent by the Lord. 1748, 9 March.
