Inner Zeal and Right Heart

Neville's Inner Vision

From the center of my awareness, I see Jehu rise and act—not as a distant ruler, but as the I AM within me, the one who clears the old kings from my mental realm. The brethren of Ahaziah are the stubborn beliefs that cling to an outdated self; their slaughter is the necessary purging of thought that would keep me small. When Jehu commands, 'Take them alive,' and then puts them to the test with Jehonadab, I sense that leadership requires a heart fully aligned with the higher idea. 'Is thine heart right, as my heart is with thy heart?' becomes the moment I acknowledge that my desired state and my present consciousness must be hand in hand. I invited the other into my chariot—the image of riding with my transformed self—and thus I see my zeal for the LORD in action. The final cleansing in Samaria is my own cleansing: I clear the remnants of limitation to allow the divine idea to reign.
