6303. En God zal met ulieden zijn; dat dit de Goddelijke Voorzienigheid van de Heer betekent, staat vast uit de betekenis van God zal met ulieden zijn, namelijk de Goddelijke Voorzienigheid van de Heer, want wanneer de Heer met iemand is, dan leidt Hij hem en voorziet Hij daarin dat alle dingen die gebeuren, hetzij droevig, hetzij vreugdevol, voor hem ten goede uitvallen; dit is de Goddelijke Voorzienigheid. Dat er wordt gezegd de Voorzienigheid van de Heer, komt omdat er wordt gezegd God met ulieden en onder God en onder Jehovah wordt in het Woord de Heer verstaan; er is immers geen andere God behalve Hijzelf; Hijzelf is immers de Vader en Hijzelf is de Zoon, want Zij zijn één; de Vader is in Hem en Hij is in de Vader, zoals Hijzelf leert bij, (Johannes 14:9-11);

7727. 'And we must make them to Jehovah our God' means which - namely worship - is acceptable to the Lord. This is clear from what comes before; that is to say, 'sacrifices and burnt offerings' means worship, 7726, and 'flocks and herds', from which the sacrifices were taken, means the good from which the offering of worship is made, 7723, 7724, so that 'making sacrifices and burnt offerings to Jehovah' means an offering of worship from good which is acceptable - 'Jehovah' in the Word being the Lord, see 1343, 1736, 2921, 3023, 3035, 5041, 5663, 6280, 6281, 6307, 6905, 6945, 6956.

6307. INFLUX AND THE INTERACTION OF SOUL AND BODY - continued
Experience extending over many years now has allowed me to know about the existence of influx from the spiritual world by way of angels and spirits into people's affections and thoughts, to know it so plainly that nothing could be plainer. I have been made aware of it as an inflowing not merely into thoughts but also into affections. Whenever evil and falsity have flowed in I have been allowed to know which hells they came from, and whenever goodness and truth have flowed in to know which angels they came from. Experience has made me so familiar with all this that at last I have been able to know where every specific aspect of my thoughts and affections originated. Yet my thoughts have been just like those I had before.
