Inner Authority in 2 Chronicles 19:11

Neville's Inner Vision

Notice the inner structure of the verse: Amariah stands as the chief priest over you in all matters of the LORD; Zebadiah, the ruler of the house of Judah, over the king's affairs; the Levites are placed as officers before you. In the language of consciousness, these are not men and offices but states you entertain within: a disciplined priesthood governing your sense of the sacred, a ruling center over your royal purposes, and vigilant attendants who remind you of right action. The command 'Deal courageously' is an instruction to keep faith with your own assumption. When you choose to act from the feeling that you already possess the authority of the I AM, the presence of the LORD becomes your lived reality; courage arises not from fearlessness but from a steady conviction that the I AM is with the good. This is a covenant loyalty: align your inner officers with your highest aim, and the outer world will reflect that alignment as you move with confidence and grace.
