Inner Obedience, Outer Peace

Neville's Inner Vision

Here the scene speaks not of geography but of a shift in consciousness. The LORD’s command, 'return every man to his house,' is the inner decree that your I AM pronounces when you are ready to end the inward resistance that would fight another by appearance. Jeroboam stands as a condition in your life, a looming external threat, yet what is halted is not a battle out there but the war within. When you hear ‘for this thing is done of me,’ you hear the truth that God’s will has already settled the matter in your heart. The people’s obedience is an inner agreement: you align with the decree you have imagined as already accomplished. Peace follows as shalom, the right ordering of life, when the mind ceases to push and withdraws its attention from the imagined nemesis. In Neville’s terms, the state of consciousness that yields obedience to a higher decree is the I AM—awareness that creates reality by assuming it is done.
