Inner Armor of Salvation

Neville's Inner Vision

Imagine you are not protected by armor on a battlefield far away, but you are already the consciousness that wears it. The helmet of salvation is your unshakable awareness that you are the I AM, the salvation that cannot be undone by fear or doubt. When you regard yourself as awakened, salvation becomes a way of knowing, not a distant future event. The sword of the Spirit is the word of God, but in Neville’s sense that word is your own creative decree voiced from your imagined state. Speak truth to your own heart until your spoken word aligns with the state you intend to inhabit. The verse asks you to take these tools, meaning claim and assume that you are already protected and empowered. In practice, you revise any limitation by returning to the feeling of your desired state, and you practice the imagination that this inner decree produces outcomes matching your inner state. Thus, your spiritual warfare is a battle won in belief, not by force outside of you.
