SD 1959,1961,1966 - we can bring it on ourselves and the protection of the Lord

SD 1959
There was a certain not evil, but serious spirit,
who spoke with me, and I noticed
that heaven was opened just a little into his inward parts,
so that it would be observed what goodness was in him.
He then began to wail, and to be tormented,
begging that this condition might cease,
for he could not stay in it on account of the distress.
This and other experience makes it clear
how dangerous it would be
if heaven were opened into someone not having faith.
For the person would be tortured
even to death by pangs of conscience.

SD 1961
An amazing fact
also not understood by very many,
is this paradox,
that when the heaven of the Lord looks into an evil one,
he or she is tortured by it,
that is, when the Lord is at hand with His presence,
they are then so distressed and tortured that,
just as Moses said, Num. 10:35,
His enemies are scattered,
and they that hate Him flee from His faces.
Yet He brings nothing whatever of evil,
not anything but good,
and the greatest gentleness.
This makes it clear that the person, or the spirit,
is the cause of their own evil, torture and death.

SD 1966
It has been shown before
that evil spirits are distressed and tormented
when angels look into them [1959, 1961].
It is almost the same when a person on earth has faith,
or is kept in a state of faith by the Lord.
Then evil spirits cannot approach,
but likewise begin to feel distress, and want to flee away.
Several times I have heard them complaining and lamenting,
when they were in the presence of faith.
