1878. About deliverance from Evil
The Lord is in no wise the cause of evil, and consequently does not drive away evil by means of evil, but He wipes out evil by means of goodness. This is the law acknowledged in heaven, one difficult to understand for those who are not heavenly. These thoughts were given to me in the Lord's prayer, while I was praying it today. 1748, 8 April.
1878. CONCERNING LIBERATION FROM EVIL.
The Lord is never the cause of evil, consequently He never expels evil by evil, but does away evil by good. This law, which is acknowledged in heaven, is difficult of comprehension to those who are not celestial. This was given to me while engaged this day in praying the Lord's Prayer. - 1748, April 8.
1878. De liberatione a Malo
Dominus nusquam est causa mali, proinde non abigit malum per malum, sed delet malum per bonum; quod est lex in coelo agnita, difficilis comprehensu iis, qui non coelestes sunt. Haec mihi data in oratione Domini, dum hodie ipsam oravi. 1748, 8 April.
