1256. Once also when I was in the company of angels I had their steadfast faith, which I could not have outside their company. This shows that it is easy for the Lord to give faith to anyone, even to the extent that the man may also suppose that he has faith; but because his interiors do not assent, and his life is opposed to it, this is not according to order. Hence also it can be concluded how human minds are led and bent by the Lord. 1748, Mar. 9.
