Inner City Defended By I Am

Neville's Inner Vision

Notice that the 'defense' spoken here is not a military maneuver but the activity of your I AM at the center of your consciousness defending the city. The city stands for your inner kingdom—your thoughts, feelings, and atmosphere. When you declare 'mine own sake' and 'David's sake,' you acknowledge that the defender is your own awareness, the I AM, thriving the moment you hold to the image of the king within. David is your faithful inner self, the beloved self you shelter with reverence. In Neville's terms, you are not seeking protection from without; you are choosing the felt sense of being kept safe by awareness that you and it are one. The defense manifests as a quiet revision: replacing fear with confidence, shaping the feeling of invincibility, and affirming your sovereignty. When you dwell in this awareness, outer conditions begin to reflect that inner allegiance—order, calm, and guidance flowing from the kingdom you consciously reign.
