Inner Reform, Outer Deeds

Neville's Inner Vision

From the Neville vantage, the tale is not a history of kings but a map of the inner life. The text says Jehu did well in executing what was right in the eyes of the LORD, yet he clung to the old sins of Jeroboam. This reveals a gap between outer action and inner condition: the consciousness that commands behavior has not fully shifted. In your own experience, the outer reform you perform—changing habits, aligning with laws, correcting behavior—mirrors Jehu’s deeds, but the real transformation occurs when the inner belief aligns with the I AM. The ‘law of the LORD’ must be known as a living, personal principle you walk in all your heart; otherwise the old calves—those entrenched patterns of thought—reappear. If you perceive the Lord as the I AM within you and imagine yourself governed by that Law, the external outcomes begin to reflect a complete inner obedience. Your throne is the consciousness that refuses to tolerate half-measures, and your reign manifests as you live from that integrated identity as I AM.
