Biblical Context

Jehoshaphat fears, then seeks the LORD and proclaims a fast; Judah gathers to ask for divine help.

Neville's Inner Vision

See Jehoshaphat’s fear not as a punishment but as a signal that the I AM is waiting to be acknowledged. He does not argue with the fear; he asserts the one reality that remains when appearances crumble: the LORD within. By 'setting himself to seek the LORD' he trains his consciousness to linger on the truth that never falters. The fast is a disciplined withdrawal from the sensory narrative, a symbolic refusal to feed on alarm, so that the inner light can speak. And the people, coming from all the cities, enact a collective turning toward that same inner governor. In Neville’s terms, they are practicing in the inner theatre what becomes visible in the outer, when belief and breath align. This is the state of awareness in which you realize that the city you inhabit—your world of sounds and chances—answers to the solitary I AM you acknowledge. When you assume the I AM is here right now, your fear dissolves, your hopes align, and the future shifts to match that inner reality.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes and declare, 'I seek the Lord within; I fast from fear and doubt until only the I AM remains.' Then feel it real—this inner authority reorganizing your experience as you rest in that single awareness.
