Inner Covenant Insight

Neville's Inner Vision

Genesis 18:17-19 opens with the Lord’s question: Shall I hide from Abraham the thing I do? The answer is that the entire drama of Abraham’s future flows from a state of consciousness already established in him. God does not act apart from the inner being you are. Abraham is named as one who shall become a great and mighty nation because his inner household will keep the way of the Lord, doing justice and judgment. The blessing of the covenant comes by the alignment of his inner life with divine law; it is not a distant prophecy but the natural consequence of his perfected state. When you understand that you are the I AM—awareness that can imagine, revise, and feel-it-real—the same principle works: the inner disciplines you cultivate become the cause, and the outer world mirrors the result. The ‘nations’ blessed in him are the fruits of a disciplined consciousness that commands its own thoughts and habits. Thus the Lord may bring to pass that which He has spoken, not by force from without, but by your own fidelity to the inner covenant you have embraced.
