Purging Inner Spoil With Fire

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of the city as your inner life, the stage where beliefs parade. The command to burn the spoil is not punishment but a deliberate act of renewal. I gather every bit of spoil—the old story I tell myself, the habit I defend, the memory that binds me—and I cast it into the flame of I AM awareness. The fire is not destruction; it is revelation: my true self, the I AM, stands beyond the ash and remains forever when the old structure collapses. The ashes mark the irreversibility of my decision not to rebuild those false claims. In this inner act I discover obedience, holiness, and covenant loyalty as lived realities—an inner rule by consciousness rather than by circumstance. The city I once believed defined me is replaced by a sanctified inner kingdom where I am the I AM that cannot be shaken.
