Inner Gifts Distribution

Neville's Inner Vision

These questions strip the gift-giving from an external roster and place them inside the one life you are. When you hear, 'Are all apostles? Are all prophets?' you are really listening for the different states of consciousness you can occupy. The apostle becomes a widening of awareness, the prophet a deep knowing, the teacher a clear instruction from the inner self; miracles, healing, tongues, and interpretation are not trophies to be handed to others but movements of your own mind awakening to its true scope. The text invites you to stop comparing yourself to others and to realize that the realm of gifts is the spectrum of your inner life. As you assume, revise, and feel it real that you already possess these faculties, your outer world will arrange itself to reflect a single truth: there is only one system of consciousness acting as many forms. The body of Christ, then, is not a social institution but your own integrated I AM presence expressing through many functions.
