Inner Peace for Kings 12:22-24

Neville's Inner Vision

Listen to the inner voice in this story as a revelation of your own state of consciousness. The word of God spoken by Shemaiah is not a distant command but an inner movement that halts a coming clash within your mind. The invitation, 'Ye shall not go up, nor fight,' becomes a decision of your I AM to suspend outer contention, to return to the house of your own awareness where setting and time fall away. The 'brethren' are aspects of yourself that seem at odds; to engage them in battle would fracture the unity of your one mind. The clause 'this thing is from me' reveals that Providence operates from your interior life, guiding you toward harmony rather than conquest. When you listen and obey, you cease striving in the world and establish peace in consciousness—Shalom—as the natural result of aligning with the inward direction. Your practice is to cultivate that inner listening, treating conflict as a signal to return home, and to let the mind settle in the awareness of the I AM, where true guidance resides.
