Bethlehem Well of Courage

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this narrative, the three mighty states are your own interior forces—courage, fidelity, and longing—that venture past Bethlehem’s gate of limitation to fetch what your heart desires. The rock, Adullam, and the gate symbolize inner places where awareness holds counsel with desire. The water you crave is not for ingestion alone; it is the felt sense of fulfillment your I AM would naturally grant. When David pours the cup to the LORD, he teaches you to consecrate your longing to your higher self, to refuse the quick drink that would feed ego and fear. The three break through the encircling Philistines—the doubts and habits that guard old patterns—so that the power, once seen as external, becomes inward truth. This is a call to revise: your longing can be welcomed as real only as it is offered to the I AM, and then allowed to become your present state. Practice this: entertain the longing, feel its sincerity, and align it with your spiritual identity; let the image of your fulfilled desire stand, unconsumed, as an act of worship.
