Inner Court of Prophecy

Neville's Inner Vision

Here the inner court is not distant history but the theatre of your own consciousness. Ahab represents a fixed, stubborn state of mind seeking outer victory by any means. The lying spirit is the belief you entertain that a preferred outcome must be delivered by others, carried by repeating voices until it seems true. The LORD’s permission is the recognition that you have once welcomed a scenario into your mind and are now watching its unfoldment. The line 'I will go out, and be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets' becomes a symbol for the power of persistent suggestion in your mental environment. Yet you are not bound to it. The true interpreter is your I AM, the awareness that can revise the scene. When you refuse to identify with the deceiving voice and instead dwell in a state of truth, you effectively replace the lying messages with voices of integrity. In that moment the ramoth-gilead of your desire—its realization—begins within you, already accomplished in your consciousness, and the outer drama follows the inner conversion.
