Inner Garrison and Divine Preservation

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider this as a parable in your own consciousness. Damascus and the Syrians symbolize territories within your mind where fear, hunger, or lack may have held sway. By the act of defining and fortifying garrisons in those provinces—states of steadfast awareness and clear intention—you invite the people and conditions of your life to bow to your sovereignty. The Syrians becoming David’s servants and bringing gifts are the outer responses to your inner decree: resources, opportunities, even help that assist your purpose. Yet the true agent is the I AM, the Lord, which in Neville’s language is your own awareness, the unchanging presence that preserves you as you go. When you hold the conviction that you are led and protected, you no longer feel at the mercy of strangers or events. You walk as a king in your inner kingdom, and the outer world reorganizes to fit that inner law. Practice this mentally until the sense of safety and authority is natural and spontaneous.
