Inner Kingship Awakening

Neville's Inner Vision

Now consider the verse as a map of inner life. Abijam's sleep with his fathers represents an old state exhausted, a past self laid to rest in the City of David, the consciousness you call I AM. In the twentieth year of Jeroboam the king of Israel, Asa—your inner, faithful faculty of perception—takes the throne over Judah, the state of your heart governed by loyalty to the Covenant. Asa's reign is the moment when disciplined awareness overcomes mere memory; Jeroboam’s year stands for stubborn outer conditions that test your focus. Yet in this inner drama, a new ruler arises, not by force, but by alignment with covenant fidelity: trust, patience, and the truth that you reign by awareness, not circumstance. The day you know I AM as ruler, your inner counsel governs life and outer events bend to your knowing. Picture the old king sleeping while the new sits calm and vigilant in the heart, ready to guide every deed from within.
