Inner War of Kings and Faith

Neville's Inner Vision

Notice how the text presents an outer battle of numbers, yet the true drama is inner alignment. Abijah's four hundred thousand represent a faithful state of consciousness arrayed under the kingly power of righteousness; Jeroboam's eight hundred thousand are the restless impulses and doubts that crowd the mind. The numbers do not decide the outcome; the state of consciousness that reigns within does. When you acknowledge that God, the I AM, rules in you, you authorize the smaller, nobler army to prevail by imagination, not by force. Your inward kingdom is not conquered by external armies but revealed by the conviction that you are one with divine authority. The valiant men of war become your disciplined thoughts acting in harmony with justice and order. The moment you assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled that you are the king who rules over your own realm, Jeroboam's multitude dissolves into subordinate voices. Your true power flows from within, where God dwells as you. So let the inner procession march as if it is already done, and the outer world will begin to reflect that inner reign.
