AE 730a [2]
. . . the Lord does not flow immediately into a person's understanding
except so far as the will is in good.
With every person the Lord can enlighten the understanding,
and thus flow in with Divine truths,
since there is given to every person the ability to understand truth,
and this for the sake of his reformation;
nevertheless the Lord does not flow in,
because truths do not remain except so far as the will has been reformed.
Moreover, it is dangerous
to so enlighten the understanding in truths as to produce belief
except so far as the will acts as one with it;
since a person can then pervert, adulterate, and profane truths,
which is most hurtful.
