Boundaries Within, Giants Without

Neville's Inner Vision

The text invites us to see boundaries and possession as states of consciousness. Moab represents a restless, defensive mood toward change—an inner stance that would prolong conflict rather than yield to awareness. The Emims, Anakims, and Horims symbolize towering beliefs and memories that loom large in the mind, but they are not external enemies to be defeated; they are thoughts to be reinterpreted. The land allotted to the children of Lot stands for an inner field of awareness already provided by the I AM, accessible not by conquest but by alignment with God's provision. When the Lord says, Distress not the Moabites, neither contend with them in battle, He is guiding you to stop pressing outward and to rest in your true identity. Your possession is an inner kingdom you already hold; with this conviction, outer events respond to your inner alignment. The clause 'as Israel did unto the land of his possession' becomes a reminder that your practice is to acknowledge and dwell in the inner land your I AM has granted you.
