Embodying the Eternal Purpose

Neville's Inner Vision

Imagine there is a single, timeless plan already set within you, and your life is the unfolding of that plan. The 'eternal purpose' spoken in Ephesians 3:11 is not a distant decree somewhere outside you; it is the I AM awareness in Christ Jesus, your Lord, actively present as your very being. When you dwell in this Christ-state—the unchanging awareness that you are the ground of all being—you discover that Providence is the steady rhythm of your inner life, guiding every choice, every opportunity, toward its expression. To say 'according to the eternal purpose' is to acknowledge that your present thoughts and feelings align with a design already written into your consciousness. Therefore, the practice is simple: assume you are already in possession of that purpose; imagine and feel it real now, and let your inner state pull your world into harmony with it. If fear or doubt arise, revise them by reaffirming that you are the vessel through which the eternal purpose operates in time. The more consistently you inhabit this state, the more your experiences will reflect the plan that has always existed in Christ within you.
