Stirred Spirit to Action

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this verse the LORD stirring the spirit is you awakening to the I AM within. Zerubbabel stands for the governor of your outer plans; Joshua represents your priestly will; the remnant are the rest of your thoughts and feelings. The stirring is a shift of consciousness, not a historical event. When you acknowledge the I AM as your constant awareness, you are drawn to the work in the temple you inhabit—the house of the LORD, your own life. Obedience here is fidelity to your inner vision: align your actions with that divine impulse, devote effort to the work that vision demands, and notice how resistance yields to conviction. The outward world responds as your inner state solidifies; what you accomplish is the material expression of an awakened state. The law is simple: assume the end, feel it as present fact, and let the natural movements of imagination carry you there. The stirred remnant is your entire psyche moving in unity toward constructive action. You have become the builder of your inner sanctuary, and your life follows the temple you have chosen to erect.
