Inner Stand Against War

Neville's Inner Vision

Your inner Ephraimites are the disciplined thoughts you call forth when trouble arises. They stand up, not to enforce violence, but to resist the agitation that war would breed in your mind. In Neville's view, God is not a distant king but the I AM that witnesses your life. When these inner authorities rise, you are not fighting people; you are aligning your inner state with righteousness and justice, letting the Kingdom of God assert itself within you. The act of standing up is an inner decision, a turning of attention from fear to steadiness. Perseverance and endurance come as you hold the line of consciousness, refusing to concede to the war's claim. The moment you assume I am the steady witness, the outer scene rearranges to match that conviction. So the scene in 2 Chronicles becomes a spiritual pattern: an inner administration asserts itself against the war-like impulse, and harmony follows as you live from that inner government.
