Inner Command, Outer Victory

Neville's Inner Vision

To the I AM within, this verse speaks of obedience as the alignment of your inner state with a divine strategy. 'God commanded him' is your recognition that a higher impression has entered your mind and you assent to it. When David acts, the outer army is but the visible echo of that inner command. The sweeping from Gibeon to Gazer represents the range of your attention, the breadth of your life canvassed by the realized assumption. The Philistine host is not a historical foe but the fear, doubt, and resistance that arise whenever a new level of consciousness is claimed. As you dwell in the assurance of the command and refuse to negotiate with contrary feelings, your inner landscape becomes the battlefield where power is deployed. Bow to the I AM, revise every counter-impression, and stand in the truth that the command already exists in you. The result is not striving but done: the outer circumstance mirrors the inner vision as your life is rearranged to fit the realized state.
