Inner City Defense Through I AM

Neville's Inner Vision

All that is happening in the text is a description of your inner state. The city represents your present awareness; the king of Assyria is fear-thoughts pressing against your faith. When the LORD says, I will defend this city, He is naming the fact that when you dwell in the I AM, the appearances of danger cannot take root. The clause, 'by the way that he came, by the same shall he return,' teaches you that the momentum of fear is only a movement of thought: once you refuse to house it, it retraces its steps back into the nothingness from which it arose. The 'mine own sake' and 'for my servant David's sake' remind you that your inner alignment—the David within, your rightful kingliness—gives the power to defend the state of consciousness. You do not contend with the threat; you simply reside as awareness and let it be proven by your calm. Thus the defense is not a future event, but a present fact when you accept I AM as the sole reality.
