Obey God, Not Men

Neville's Inner Vision

Peter and the others declare a truth your own inner world can hear: the true authority is the I AM within you, not the shifting voices of the world. When you say, 'We ought to obey God rather than men,' you are naming an inner law that governs every interpretation of circumstance. In Neville’s terms, 'God' is not a distant decree but your own awareness—the I AM that never falters. The outside order may demand compliance, yet the inner movement of life flows from your fidelity to that divine principle. To live this is to recognize that every 'command' you fear is merely a signal from a state of consciousness that you have outgrown. By shifting your assumption to the integrity of the I AM, you revise your world from within. The moment you imagine yourself loyal to God—the unchanging, never-ending life within—you will find your external conditions aligning with that truth.
