The Ensign Within: Zion's Fire

Neville's Inner Vision

Isaiah speaks of a nations’ threat being met not by a mighty hero but by a sword that belongs to the mind that trusts in nothing but its God. The Assyrian's fall is not a battle won in the street but a turning of your inner sight away from fear and toward the I AM. The sword is the old conviction that separation rules you; yet the verse says the sword devours the threat when you recognize it cannot stand against the I AM’s presence. The 'strong hold' becomes a mental fortress of fear; the ensign is the steady symbol of your awakened awareness rising in you. Zion’s fire and Jerusalem’s furnace are inner energies, power and purification, placed within your consciousness to melt false power and heat new creation. When you inhabit this awareness, the enemies retreat, your young men are dismayed, and you walk in liberty that does not depend on outward weapons. The deliverance is inner, immediate, and complete as you realize: God is I AM, here, now.
