Inner Covenant Reclaimed

Neville's Inner Vision

Notice how the verse speaks to the inner self, not foreign conquerors. The fear of the LORD is an inner alignment, a steady posture of awareness in which I AM stands sovereign. The people have not forgotten the covenant; they have allowed former manners—habits, memories, and fixed images—to linger as if they were gods. In Neville’s psychology, this is your inner world: you can claim a state where the LORD is the only power, the only object of worship, and the only law you follow. The statutes and the law become an inner discipline, a habitual attention to consciousness, not external rules. The covenant is renewed as you choose to remember the I AM as your deliverer, not the fear of enemies. When you stop feeding the graven images—your doubts, your past identities—and keep faith with the inner covenant, deliverance moves from a distant promise to a present dynamic. The shift is simple: align your inner state with the I AM, and the outer pattern of disobedience dissolves into harmony with the true worship of God within.
