Inner Petition Restores Power

Neville's Inner Vision

View this scene as a map of consciousness. The king is your ego’s action, and the hand stands for your power to act in the world. The man of God is your inner teacher, the voice that calls the I AM to awareness. When you petition the LORD within, you are not begging a distant God; you are returning your attention to the truth of your being. The LORD, your I AM, responds by restoring what you believed was diminished—the hand that does, the capacity to move and effect. Healing arises when you occupy the assumption that you are already whole and in rightful possession of your power. As you dwell in that truth, the inner state shifts, and the external shows the change. The intercession in the verse is simply your practice of turning attention to awareness and letting the feelings of life and power rise as if already present. The restoration is not future, but a revision of consciousness that yields form conforming to your inner state.
