Inner Crown of the Heart

Neville's Inner Vision

Saul's dethronement is not a history lesson about a crown; it is a mirror of your inner life. The kingdom that ‘shall not continue’ speaks of a state of consciousness that cannot hold when the inner will contradict the divine intention. The phrase 'a man after his own heart' points to the inner man who longs for what God longs for: alignment, integrity, faithful obedience to the living command that flows from the I AM. When God says 'the LORD hath commanded him to be captain over his people,' He is declaring that your inner captain—the I AM within you—must rule your thoughts, desires, and acts, directing the 'people' (your many impulses) toward union with right order. Your outer circumstances become a reflection of this inner alignment. If you refuse to heed the inward command, the outer kingdom collapses; if you embody the heart that seeks divine order, you unveil the true sovereignty of God’s kingdom within. Practice: assume the feeling that you are already the man after God's heart, and let that inner captain govern your day.
