Proved Character, Deacon Service

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, the command is not a demand for external credentials but a revelation of inner alignment. The words let these also first be proved point to the state of consciousness you inhabit before you act in service. To be found blameless is to dwell in the I AM that knows you as whole and virtuous, separated from the habit of fault-finding and fear. When you imagine yourself as already standing in the office of a deacon, you are not pretending; you are reidentifying yourself with the truth of your being. Your daily thoughts shape the events of your life, and the proving is simply the steady habit of living up to that truth: integrity, patience, and care for others. As you persist in this inner posture, the outer scene conforms—not by coercion, but by law of assumption. The moment you refuse to judge yourself by past failures and commit to the inner state of service, the outer appointment becomes a natural expression of who you are in God's awareness.
