Holiness Awake in 1 Corinthians 5:1

Neville's Inner Vision

This text reveals a state of consciousness rather than merely a moral verdict. The “fornication” is an inner movement—a misalignment of desire with the beloved, a pulling away from the inner Father’s rule. The clause about not being named among the Gentiles marks a mind that has forgotten its center in the I AM and has allowed appearances to lead life. In Neville’s terms, the situation is an opportunity to shift identification: you are not at the mercy of external scenes, but the I AM within is the author of experience. To heal, refuse to fight the act; instead revise the inner assumption until the life reflects a state of purity. See yourself as the Father in whom all your life unfolds, letting go of old partnerships that no longer serve you. Choose a new state of holiness—a conscious alignment with divine nature—and watch the outer circumstances re-pattern to fit this inner truth. The path is simple, immediate, and intimate: alter your inner state and the world follows.
