Inner Mercy of Chronicles 21:15

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through the Neville lens, this text is a drama of states of consciousness. The angel that comes to destroy is the fixed habit of thought, the impulse that would lay waste to your inner city when you fix a scenario in your mind as reality. The moment the LORD beholds and repents is the moment your I AM—your all knowing awareness—visits the scene and notices the lie of total destruction. The action does not require a dramatic change in outer circumstance; the change occurs in inner posture: a decision that enough is enough, a standing still of the hand of the imagined disaster. Ornan's threshing floor becomes the inner place of sacrifice where you pause and witness the movements of your mind without feeding them. When you truly feel the I AM watching, you revise the story: the energy intended to destroy is redirected toward mercy, toward preservation, toward peace. The angel remains, but no longer is it necessary to fulfill its harsh decree, for awareness has shifted the outcome by turning toward compassion and reality as you desire it.
