Inner Banner of Victory

Neville's Inner Vision

See this scene as a map of your inner life. Amalek is the stubborn habit of fear, a memory of limitation that resists your good. Joshua’s sword represents your disciplined imagination acting on a favorable assumption. When you win, the LORD’s command to write it as a memorial is a directive to fix the victorious state in consciousness until it becomes your natural condition. The altar named Jehovahnissi—“the LORD is my banner”—is your awareness itself standing as the standard by which all experiences are measured. The promise that the LORD will have war with Amalek from generation to generation speaks of an ongoing inner covenant: as long as you identify with fear as real, there will be resistance to your good; as you persist in the victorious state, that resistance diminishes. Your memory of past defeats is rewritten by a new script in which you affirm now that God-consciousness governs all scenes, and you rest secure in the inevitability of your inner victory.
