Ebenezer: Inner Stone of Help

Neville's Inner Vision

Here the inner man takes a stone and names it Ebenezer, a memory-turned-state that the I AM is with us. In Neville’s language, memory is not a relic of the past but a present declaration of your state. When you say 'Hitherto hath the LORD helped us,' you are asserting a continuous momentum of divine assistance existing now as your awareness. The Philistines—the fears, doubts, and blocks—are subdued as you align with the truth that the I AM governs your life. Their power wanes when you dwell in the realization that help is your current nature, not a distant event. The restoration of cities becomes the re-taking of inner territories: lack and limitation re-claimed by the sovereign activity of consciousness. The peace between Israel and the Amorites symbolizes harmony among opposing inner impulses; when you acknowledge the guide within, conflict yields to serenity. This is salvation and redemption as a steady renovation of your inner climate, not a single moment in the past. Let your stone be your assumption; set Ebenezer in your mind and feel the presence of ongoing help here and now.
