Inner Shout, Inner Deliverance

Neville's Inner Vision

Here the scene is not a mere history but a parable of your inner weather. The 'men of Judah' are your awakened state of consciousness; Jeroboam and all Israel symbolize stubborn fear, doubt, and separation—the old conditions resisting your authority. When they shout, that shout is the willingness of your I AM to speak, to decree. Then the act 'God smote' becomes the power of your awareness acting upon every limiting tendency. The victory is not sought outside but realized within: the opposing states collapse and scatter before your strengthened sense of self, and the children of Israel flee before Judah—the old habits retreat as the new inner king takes seat. 'God delivered them into their hand' means your new state now holds sway over prior conditions, not by force in time, but by recognizing that you are the one Power, imagining and abiding in the truth that you are already free. The essential practice is to assume the victorious state, revise any lingering doubt, and feel it as real right now.
