Habakkuk 3:5-6 Inner Authority

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through the Neville lens, 'Before him' is the moment your I AM stands in awareness before every thought and sensation. The pestilence and burning coals are not external judgments but inner disturbances—fear, doubt, a storm of compulsions—streaming across your mental stage. When you meet them with the I AM, you do not argue them into silence; you simply observe and allow the force of consciousness to dissolve them. He stood and measured the earth—your inner geography is surveyed with crisp attention, deciding what remains and what is revised. He beheld, and drove asunder the nations: in that calm, the old beliefs—'I am powerless,' 'the world controls me'—are driven apart by your unwavering identification with the I AM. And the everlasting mountains were scattered, the perpetual hills did bow: fixed patterns yield to the sovereignty of your present awareness. His ways are everlasting: the truth of your eternal I AM never changes, and the world obeys the mood you inhabit. Imaginative act: in a quiet moment, declare 'I AM the ruler of this inner world' and feel that authority rearranging your thoughts until fear is replaced by peace.
