Inner Tabernacle Awakened

Neville's Inner Vision

Do not seek God as if He were distant; you are dawning to the truth that God is the I AM in you, here and now. The text speaks of a tabernacle in their midst, but in Neville's sense it is your present state of consciousness, the inner sanctuary you inhabit. When you affirm 'I will be their God and they shall be my people,' you are declaring that your awareness has chosen unity with the divine—yet the self as you know it is reorganized to host that presence. As you dwell there, outer circumstances begin to reflect a sanctified center: people respond with trust, events align, and daily life becomes devotion. The 'forevermore' implies the durability of this inner state; once the sanctuary stands in your mental life, it remains despite fear or doubt. The nations know not by argument but by witnessing the sanctified air you emanate. You are the sanctuary; your persistence in this state is the method by which the world experiences holiness and the presence of God.
