AC 6097 - temptations

AC 6097
All temptations appear evil,
for the reason that they are interior anxieties and griefs,
and as it were damnations;
for the person is then let into the state of his evils,
consequently among evil spirits,
who accuse him,
and thus torment the conscience;
nevertheless the angels defend him, that is,
the Lord through angels,
for the Lord keeps him in hope and trust,
which are the forces of combat from within
whereby he resists.
