Scripture Focus

5And hired counsellors against them, to frustrate their purpose, all the days of Cyrus king of Persia, even until the reign of Darius king of Persia.

7And in the days of Artaxerxes wrote Bishlam, Mithredath, Tabeel, and the rest of their companions, unto Artaxerxes king of Persia; and the writing of the letter was written in the Syrian tongue, and interpreted in the Syrian tongue.

Ezra 4:5-7

Biblical Context

The verses describe persistent efforts to thwart Judah by hiring counselors, sending accusations to kings, and writing letters across multiple reigns.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Ezra's page, the foes are not merely Persians but states of mind opposing your aim. The counselors are your nagging thoughts; the letters are the stories you tell yourself in the Syrian tongue of doubt. The repeated rulers symbolize enduring beliefs that try to govern your life. Neville teaches that you are the I AM, and imagination creates reality; therefore you must revise from within. Act as if the work is already finished, assume the end, and feel it real. When you hold that assumption, the 'accusations' fade, and your inner decree becomes your outer experience. Persist in the feeling until the inner scene aligns with the fulfilled outcome, and the apparent obstacles lose their power as they bow to the truth you have declared.

Practice This Now

Assume the end now: declare in your mind that your purpose is accomplished and feel the gratitude; repeat until the inner scene aligns with the fulfilled outcome.
