Inner Famine, Inner Covenant

Neville's Inner Vision

To my consciousness, the famine is not a weather of the earth but a weather of the mind—lack, limitation, a state of separation from the fullness of life. The three years symbolize a persistence of belief that keeps nourishment from entering. When I seek the LORD, the I AM within answers: the cause is Saul and his bloody house—the part of me still attached to an old self that slew the Gibeonites, i.e., a memory of grievance and broken covenants. In spiritual terms, a past act of violence against truth has closed the inner doorway to abundance. The famine is therefore not an external judgment but a signal from my own consciousness that I must re-authorize the self I am identifying with. By acknowledging that the present condition rests on a misidentified self, I can revise it. I renew the covenant with the I AM by forgiving the past, releasing guilt, and declaring, with inner certainty, that I am the Lord of this inner land. As I dwell in this truth, nourishment returns and a fresh abundance manifests.
