Whispers of Zion's Trust

Neville's Inner Vision

In this verse the 'word the LORD hath spoken concerning him' is not a history lesson but an inner decree you accept in place of fear. The 'virgin, the daughter of Zion' and the 'daughter of Jerusalem' are your own inner faculties—faith, innocence, steadfastness—turning away from the foe and laughing at the illusion. Their laughter signals that fear is a mere color in a state you have already decided to outgrow. When you take this word as true of your life, you revise the scene from one of attack to one of victory. The outer enemy becomes only a memory of an old state you no longer inhabit; the reality you experience is the sensation of the inner decree becoming visible. With this recognition, the mockery dissolves, and your inner city, your inner peace, returns. Remember: you are the I AM, the imagination that creates worlds; the word spoken within you is the seed of the world you live in.
