Inner Minister Of God

Neville's Inner Vision

To the one who reads these lines, the 'ministers of God' are not a distant order but your own inner faculties acting through consciousness. In this light, 'much patience' is not mere waiting; it is the steadfast visualized state of the I AM under pressure. 'Afflictions, necessities, distresses' are shifts in inner weather, movements of the mind that test your fidelity to the God you claim to be. When you experience stripes, imprisonments, tumults, or watchings, see them as symbolic rehearsals in the drama of your own awareness. The events themselves are not forcing you; they reveal what you truly believe about yourself. By imagining yourself already the minister, you align your inner disposition with the state of God. The outer world mirrors your most habitual inner vision. Therefore, the act of approving yourself as such minister is an exercise in revision: repeatedly choose the consciousness you desire, feel it as real now, and allow your awareness to cast off limitation. Your endurance is the proof of your present I AM, not a future outcome.
