Inner Victory at 1 Samuel 30:17-18

Neville's Inner Vision

All outer events are the theater of an inner state. The Amalekites are the doubts that have carried away your peace, your goods, and your relationships. When you rest in the I AM—the universal awareness that you are imagining—these outer conditions must yield to the power of your inner vision. David is the awakened state of consciousness within you, the I that can stand in the night and strike through fear until the dawn arrives. From twilight to the evening of the next day symbolizes the continuous practice of staying with end-result consciousness, not the shifting appearances. No man escaped; this points to the clearing of every mistaken belief except a handful of residual thoughts that you let go of as you reaffirm the end. You recover all that was carried away—the inner goods, the harmony, the two wives of your inner life—through the certainty that you have already accomplished it. This is deliverance, not a distant rescue, but the recognition that your consciousness has acted and the world must reflect that action. So learn to dwell in the I AM, and the world will bend to your concluded vision.
