Inside the Idol's Shadow

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the mind’s theater, an idol is any fixed image you cling to, any projection that makes you feel secure apart from the I AM. When you offer your attention or belief to what you call the idol, you are, in truth, surrendering to a devilish state—fear, lack, separation, or vanity. The text is not about distant statues but about inner kingdoms: the Gentiles’ sacrifices signify the heart’s allegiance to appearances rather than to God. But God is not found in temples of stone; God is the I AM behind all experience, the unwavering awareness that remains when you stop feeding the lesser thoughts. To resist fellowship with devils is to refuse identification with those limiting powers and to return your worship to the one Presence within. The true worship is interior acknowledgment: I AM, here and now, conscious and complete. When you dwell in that awareness, you disarm the projected devils and invite the divine presence to rule your life. This is spiritual warfare made simple: renounce the imagined idols the moment they arise and keep your attention on the I AM as your permanent reality.
