Inner Fire Of Holiness

Neville's Inner Vision

Notice the Lord saying, I will send a fire on Magog—this is not a geographic catastrophe but the inner fire that purges where the mind lingers in careless reverie. Magog is your own habit of thinking that forgets the sacred, the 'isles' your isolated corners of self-sufficiency. In this vision, the ‘I AM’ stands as the sovereign awareness within, and the holy name is not kept on a scroll but made known in the heart of Israel—the mind that God calls his people. When I refuse to pollute the holy name by fear, doubt, or smallness, the outer world becomes a stage where the truth of the I AM is demonstrated. The heathen will know means that once your inner conviction is steady, your outward life reflects the holiness you have rehearsed in imagination. It is the fulfillment of prophecy as a present experience: the recognition of God’s presence in you, and thus the purification and sanctification of every thought by the conscious act of stating, 'I am the LORD, the Holy One in Israel' within.
