Godly Living, Inner Persecution

Neville's Inner Vision

Persecution is not a future threat but an inner witness of your current state. If you desire to live godly, you awaken a friction in your believing, and that friction shows up as external trials to test whether you have truly assumed the state within. In Neville's terms, you are not fighting people or events; you are aligning your consciousness with the I AM who dwells in you. When you hold the feeling of the wish fulfilled—the state of godliness now—the so-called persecution becomes the sign that your old self is surrendering to your new self. The outer world merely mirrors your inner convictions; as your inner conviction stabilizes in the I AM, the appearances of persecution lose their sting, revealing the peace that underlies all struggle. Continue to dwell in awareness that you are the I AM and that every trial is a message from your own consciousness confirming the shift.
