I was shown that the most alarming feature in the case of Brother Hull is that he is asleep to his danger. He feels no alarm, feels perfectly secure and at rest, while Satan and his angels are exulting over their conquest. Just as long as Brother Hull maintained a conflict, his mind was reined up, and there was a collision of spirits. He has now ceased the conflict, and the collision ceases. His mind is at rest, and Satan lets him have peace. Oh, how dangerous was the position in which he was shown me! His case is nearly hopeless, because he makes no effort to resist Satan and extricate himself from his dreadful snare. {1T 426.2}

Jeg så at den mest foruroligende træk i broder Hulls sag er at han sover i hans fare. Han føler ingen uro, føler sig fuldkommen sikker og i ro, selv om Satan og hans (427) engle triumferer over deres sejr. Lige så længe som bror Hull har fastholdt en kamp, blev hans sind holdt i tømme og der var et sammenstød af ånder. Han har nu ophørt at kæmpe og sammenstødet er holdt op. Hans sind hviler og Satan lader ham få fred. Oh, hvor farefuld er den stilling han er i, som blev vist mig! Hans tilfælde er næsten håbløs, fordi han gør ingen anstrengelser for at modvirke Satan og redde sig selv ud af hans frygtelige snare.
