Inner Defense: God Fights For You

Neville's Inner Vision

Fear not, for the I AM within you is the unseen fighter. When the scripture declares that the Lord your God shall fight for you, it is not speaking of distant armies but of your own state of consciousness. You are told to rest in the assurance that nothing external can prevail against the victorious power already present as awareness. The 'fight' is the disciplined activity of imagination: you imagine, feel, and dwell in the conviction that your inner God is actively rearranging conditions in your favor. The enemy you fear is a rumor produced by a separated sense of self; when you identify with the I AM, the rumor dissolves. In this light, the promise means: through your inner alignment, fear loses its grip and courage becomes your daily mood. Practice is not supplication to a distant deity but the recognition that you are attended by the most intimate God, your consciousness, which safeguards and organizes your life from within.
