NJHD 197 - temptations

NJHD 197
In temptations
angels from the Lord keep a person
in the truths and goods which are with him,
but evil spirits keep him
in the falsities and evils which are with him,
whence arises a conflict and combat.
(AC 4249)

In a state of despair a person speaks bitter things,
but the Lord does not attend to them.
(AC 8165)
When the temptation is finished,
there is at first a fluctuation between the truth and falsity.
(AC 848, 857)
But afterwards truth shines,
and becomes serene and joyful.
(AC 3696, 4572, 6829, 8367, 8370)
