Inner Authority Arising

Neville's Inner Vision

Verse 13-16 unfolds not as a clash of names but as a mirror of your inner state. The vagabond exorcists symbolize a mind that seeks power through technique rather than through identification with the I AM. The demon's answer— 'Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye?'—is the soul’s blunt audit, reminding you that authority cannot be borrowed by association with another's name; it must be anchored in your own consciousness. Neville would teach that power is a function of your inner state, your consistent, living awareness of I AM. When you attempt to cast out 'evil' by words alone, you reveal a split between speech and reality. So revise: assume the I AM is the true owner of your being, and feel that authority as a present, governing presence within your chest. Visualize your inner king or queen arising, and let that being speak through you. Then the outer scene will reflect your inward alignment: you do not defeat others, you align with the one Power you truly are. The event becomes a radiant invitation to rest in the certainty of your I AM.
