Hadad and the Inner Adversary

Neville's Inner Vision

Hadad is not merely a man; he is an inner adversary—an image of resistance arising in you as a state of consciousness. The Lord stirring him is the language of your own interior activity, the I AM waking to govern what you have previously allowed to rule. Edom, the place within you where old identity lingers, is the soil that yields a seed of royalty—the king's seed—when you rise in awareness. When David went to Edom and Joab buried the slain, think of your past identifications being carried away by the breath of attention, making room for a new ruler to sit on the throne of your mind. The adversary's presence tests your allegiance to inner truth; it is providence teaching you to exercise dominion by awareness rather than by reaction. The kingdom of God is not a distant kingdom but the moment you recognize you are the I AM, the observer and owner of every event. As you own this sovereignty, you redeem appearances and align outer life with an inner state that can never be defeated.
