Immovable Kingdom Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Here the apostle does not point to a distant future so much as to a present inner reality. The 'kingdom' is your state of awareness, the I AM that cannot be moved by fear, lack, or circumstance. To 'receive' it is to acknowledge that you already are the ruler of your inner landscape, and the world but lags behind your inner posture. Grace is not a favor bestowed from without; it is your capacity to stay aligned with the true you, to adjust your assumption until the outer events reflect that inner set. When you serve God 'acceptably' with reverence and godly fear, you are not performing rites; you are keeping your attention upon the sacred I AM, cultivating worship as a posture of inner gratitude and awe. The fear mentioned is healthy awe, not terror, a disciplined attention that guards your kingdom from erosion by images of failure. The practice is to assume, here and now, that the unshakable kingdom is present, and to let your day be an expression of that reality in how you speak, think, and feel.
