154. About evil spirits: they are able to lie down and feed together with believers, according to Is. 11:6, 7, 8, 9 ¹

Today again I was shown by actual experience how the evil, in fact, the worst ones of the devil's gang, could be present and make the greatest effort to destroy my beliefs. But even though they labored very intensely, [their attempts] were utterly devoid of any force or power. So they were shown to me actually lying down together and being fed. And they were fed, too, for then they even got to hear the points of faith [enumerated]. 1747, 19 August (old calendar).

In Isaiah 11:6, 7, 8, 9, ² it is expressed symbolically how evil things can be in us and yet not harm us - and thus that one need not be at all afraid on account of evils perpetrated when one is in the Hand of God the Messiah. The case is similar in the Church, and also in the Heavenly Kingdom today, and later, when evil spirits will learn - but these are secrets, to be told prudently.
