Wholehearted Covenant Rest

Neville's Inner Vision

Verse 15 presents not merely a political reform but an inner shift. In Neville’s language, the oath is a conscious decision of the I AM—the awareness you truly are—to seek God with all your desire. When that inner commitment is felt as real, the outer scene is rearranged: rest comes into the mind as alignment with the divine flow. The removal of Maachah’s idol symbolizes clearing out limiting beliefs that idolize fear or control; stamping and burning them at the brook Kidron marks a decisive revision of mental images and attachments. Yet the note that the high places remain hints that outward appearances may linger while the heart is already perfected by inner worship. The key teaching is that true peace is the fruit of inner concentration and unwavering loyalty to the I AM. Your life becomes a venue where inner decree manifests as outer order, because you have chosen to dwell in the reality of God within you.
