Elijah Before the LORD

Neville's Inner Vision

In this scene your consciousness is Elijah. The LORD of hosts is the I AM within you, the sovereign awareness that never falters. 'Before whom I stand' means you align your now with that eternal presence, refusing any claim of limitation. When Elijah says 'I will surely show myself unto him today,' he is stating a timeless decision in the inner man. The outer meeting—Obadiah delivering the news, Ahab going forth—are not random events but the outward weather of an inward decree. Your imagination, when imagined as already true, makes the outer world bend to your inner order. The verse teaches that authority flows from within; to stand in the presence of God is to be fully convinced that what you intend, you have already become. The day he will 'show himself' is the day your inner truth is so vivid that the world responds accordingly. Your kingly authority flows from your consciousness; fear and doubt recede as you assume the role of the I AM.
