Restored Inner Cities

Neville's Inner Vision

Verse 25 of Kings invites you to look inward and see the outer battle as an inner movement of consciousness. Jehoash represents the steadfast I AM, the awareness that is king of your inner realm. Benhadad stands for the stubborn belief in lack, separation, and fear that once held the cities of your soul. The cities themselves are faculties of thought, energy, memory, and creative power—things you claim as yours by right when you assent to the truth of your unity with God. When you accept that you are the I AM, the inner realm replies with restoration: the defenses rise, the borders widen, and the kingdom returns to order. The three victories symbolize repeated acts of assumption, revision, and feeling-it-real—each cycle deepening the conviction that nothing can truly take away your inner territory. Providence is the steady law of your own consciousness at work, aligning your inner state with outward experience. So the kingdom of Israel—your inner sovereignty—reappears, and the outer world mirrors this inner settlement. The lesson: insist on your birthright, dwell in the I AM, and you will reclaim every city within you.
