2902. Evil spirits can work nothing in those who are convinced
It was imparted to my inward thought that evil spirits can work nothing in those who are convinced, such as the Quakers and others, for their persuasion results in the creation of a field they cannot enter. This I saw by a spiritual mental image. 1748, 23 Aug.
2902. THAT EVIL SPIRITS CANNOT OPERATE ANYTHING WITH THOSE WHO ARE PERSUADED.
It was insinuated, in my interior thought, that spirits can operate nothing with those who are persuaded, as with the Quakers and others; for persuasion has this property, that it forms a sphere, so that they cannot enter therein. This was perceived by me in spiritual idea. - 1748, August 23.
2902. Quod spiritus mali nihil operare possint apud eos qui persuasi sunt
Interiori cogitationi meae insinuatum est, quod spiritus nihil operari possint apud eos qui persuasi sunt, sicut in Quakerianis aliisque, nam persuasio id secum habet, ut sphaeram formet, ut in eam intrare nequeant, quod idea spirituali perceptum a me est. 1748, 23 Aug.
