Inner Sacrifice, Divine Answer

Neville's Inner Vision

David’s outer act of sacrifice follows a decisive inner recognition: the LORD has answered his petition, so the man of war becomes a man of worship in the very space where his mind has found alignment. In Neville’s terms, the threshing floor is a mental clearing where the old sense of separation is separated from the one constant I AM. The word 'answered' signals a shift in consciousness, not a report from the heavens; it is the moment when the state of desire is present in awareness rather than future. The act of sacrifice then seals this inner conversion. It is not to obtain God’s favor as a distant grant, but to honor the reality you have already assumed; to ritually release lingering doubt and to affirm gratitude as the currency of being. Here, mercy and compassion surface as the natural atmosphere of the soul that has found its home in the sense of fulfilled wish. The presence of God becomes not a location, but the continuous awareness that you are one with the I AM.
