Inner Word Famine and Awakening

Neville's Inner Vision

Amos speaks of days when the Lord declares a famine, not of bread, but of hearing the words of the LORD. In the Neville sense, this is a famine in consciousness: a dulling of the inner ear of awareness. The words of the LORD are the living I AM within, the voice of truth that guides every choice. When I am absorbed in outer demands, I momentarily forget to listen to that inner Word. The famine then becomes a door: it invites me to revise my sense of reality, to stop seeking sustenance outside and begin listening inside. The events—judgment, accountability, prophecy, and promise—are my inner movements, signaling how I think, feel, and imagine. I choose what I listen to; I can align with the Word now, or ignore it and feel lack. The practice of faith becomes simple: assume that the Word is heard in this present moment, feel it as real, and let my life reflect that listening. When I hear with the whole being, the famine dissolves, and abundance flows from the awakened I AM.
