Inner Assembly and Presence

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, the scene in 1 Samuel 7:5-6 is not a distant event but a map of your inner state. Mizpeh stands as your vantage point of awareness where every facet of self is gathered, brought to stillness, and faced. The water poured out before the LORD signifies the release of old feelings you no longer choose to carry; fasting mirrors the narrowing of attention to the source that sustains you—your I AM. When the people declare, We have sinned against the LORD, they are naming a misalignment in consciousness, a moment of turning back toward the Living Presence. Samuel, the inner voice echoing the I AM, gathers the nation, judges the self-judgment that obstructs alignment, and offers clear reorientation. The act of judgment here is not punishment but clarification, a thinning of thoughts that do not serve the higher state. As you adopt this inner posture, God becomes present as your own awareness, and any outer difficulty loses its grip because you have rekindled the inner union. The lesson is simple: presence is already within, awaiting your precise, loving attention.
