Preaching Beyond Fleshly Limits

Neville's Inner Vision

Paul speaks of infirmity of the flesh as a stage of consciousness, not a bondage of the body. The first preaching, then, is an inner act: the awareness that the gospel is already true within you. When you feel weak, you are invited to turn away from the outer scene and rest in the I AM that perceives. In imagination, you repeat and feel the gospel until it becomes your immediate fact. The 'preaching' is the mind claiming what it already knows, not merely speaking to others but awakening your own soul to its unity with Truth. By assuming the state that you preach—peace, grace, healing—you dissolve the sense of limitation. The infirmity vanishes as you dwell in the conviction that God, the I AM, is the life that witnesses, receives, and expresses through you. The first message is the inner message; once felt as real, it radiates outward and transforms every apparent infirmity into testimony of your oneness with the Gospel you preach.
