Inner Preacher, Inner King

Neville's Inner Vision

Before any outward event, the verse invites you to notice the speaker within—the Preacher—who carries the authority of the inner Jerusalem. In Neville’s psychology, the Preacher is the I AM behind every decision, and the king in Jerusalem is the sovereign state of consciousness that rules your life. The words he speaks are not history but decree: hear and embody the declaration that you are already what you seek—presence and power in one living moment. When you claim this inner throne, your imagination becomes the instrument by which reality rearranges itself. The Kingdom of God is not somewhere distant; it is the present mood of awareness, the settled certainty that you reign over your thoughts, feelings, and circumstances. The verse invites you to own your spiritual lineage—the capacity to rule with wisdom and discernment—so that the outer world reflects the clarity of your inner state. Therefore, treat these opening words as a nightly decree: you are the Preacher, you are the king, and you awaken the city of your mind to a new order.
