Israel Within: A Blessing Won

Neville's Inner Vision

Jacob’s night struggle is a mirror for the inner life every seeker knows. He will not release the presence of God until he blesses him; thus the I AM within refuses to let you drift until you recognize your own blessed nature. The question 'What is thy name?' is not a historical tag but a cue to awaken to your true self. When he answers 'Jacob', the angel renames him—Israel—revealing that you become a prince with God when you dare to persist in your inner petition. The power lies not outside you but in your state of consciousness: to prevail is to hold the vision of yourself as blessed, to affirm that you are the one who commands blessing by faith. The covenant is loyalty to your own I AM, a willingness to endure the night until dawn, until the inner situation matches the new name. This is not magic but the law of inner sight: once you align your imagination with an established blessing, you awaken to a reality where God and you walk as one.
