Genesis 31:1-2 Inner Countenance

Neville's Inner Vision

Genesis 31:1-2 presents a scene where Jacob seems to be accused by Laban's sons of taking all that belonged to their father, and Jacob perceives a shift in Laban's countenance. In Neville’s tongue, this is not a history of people but a map of your own states. The 'wealth' and the glory attributed to Jacob are inner possessions—an abundance you claim when you know you are the I AM. The chatter of the sons and the altered look of Laban are reflections of lack or abundance you hold within. When you believe yourself governed by circumstances or by others' judgments, the world mirrors that belief with a changed face. But the moment you align with the I AM—feeling that you possess all that you need because you are that very presence—the outer scene begins to rearrange itself, not by force but by the natural law of inner being. You are the source; you are the one who assigns value to wealth and to approval. Therefore, revise the scene inwardly until your outward world reflects your timeless, unassailable self.
