Tongues and Prophecy Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the scriptural clause lies not two separate external speeches, but two inner states. Tongues, as a sign to unbelief, signal a consciousness that has not yet taken residence in the common mind; they are the dramatic outer gesture of an inward awakening. Prophecy, however, is for those who already inhabit the truth—the believing heart that acts from a revised premise. Do not seek to convince the outer world through loud words; invite the inner word to do its work. The sign you long for is not a chorus of corroborating voices, but the steady conviction that you are now the man or woman who lives from the truth you desire. When you assume that you already possess the reality, your inner state radiates outward as events that confirm your belief. The principle is simple: imagination creates reality, and belief precedes manifestation. Tongues may display as a provisional sign, yet the true minister of your life is prophecy—the quiet, persistent sense that your I AM has already become your truth.
