Haggai's Inner Obedience

Neville's Inner Vision

Observe that the verse speaks not of mere compliance, but of inner alignment. In Neville's light, the 'voice of the LORD their God' is the I AM within you awakening to its own directive. Zerubbabel, Joshua, and the people represent states of consciousness that heard and acknowledged the inner command as if the outer messenger were a mouthpiece of the inner self. When they 'obeyed' and then 'feared before the LORD,' they did not fear punishment, but opened themselves to reverence—an inner attitude of expectancy that invites divine order into their affairs. Obedience becomes not submission to an external law but alignment of your inner posture with the truth you intend to manifest. The prophet's words are the heartbeat of your own imagination speaking through the I AM, confirming the reality you are choosing to inhabit. As the consciousness that is God, you re-create your life by heeding the inner directive and letting reverent awe preside over every act. The result is an outward world that mirrors your inner state, a true worship that is felt as certainty, purpose, and fruit.
