Inner Speaking, Outer Opposition

Neville's Inner Vision

To Neville's ear, this text is not about distant enemies but about your inner states. The 'oppositors' who killed the Lord Jesus and persecuted prophets are the stubborn habits of mind that deny your divine life. The 'I AM' life within you—your true self—calls for expression; to 'forbid us to speak to the Gentiles' is to withhold your wider self from the parts of you yet unheard. When you identify with these thoughts you experience a sense of wrath—the inevitable consequence of separation from your unity. Yet the text points you to a transformative shift: the moment you awaken to the I AM as your sole reality, the 'wrath' dissolves and your voice freely reaches every 'Gentile' within and without. Your inner prophets and the gospel you carry become alive as you assume the state of awakened consciousness, knowing that God is your awareness and all beings are included in that one life. The outer events are but reflections of inner states; change the state, and the world changes.
