Captivity Within, Speech Without

Neville's Inner Vision

In Ezekiel’s frame, captivity is a state of consciousness rather than a distant place. The LORD’s showings are inner images, and Ezekiel’s speech to the exiles demonstrates how inner revelation becomes shared reality through spoken word. Neville teaches that your inner world is shaped by what you attend to and affirm; the I AM is the source of this shaping. When Ezekiel declares the things shown to him, he models a vital practice: take the visions of your inner life and give them voice until they become the fabric of your environment. The exile you perceive is sustained by belief; the remedy is to inhabit and declare the inner pictures that reveal freedom. Your speaking is not mere talk but an act of calling forth the state you intend to inhabit. Thus, the path from captivity to return begins with a whispered invitation to your I AM: acknowledge the inner revelation, speak it in the present tense, and feel the reality of the promised return as already real.
