Inner Deliverance of Isaiah 38

Neville's Inner Vision

Your bitterness and peace are states of consciousness, not external events. When you read Isaiah 38:17-18, hear that God’s love is the I AM of your own being, and deliverance is a shift in imagination. The pit of corruption is a mental image you have accepted as real; you cast your sins behind thy back by consenting to a new self who knows himself as beloved and upright. The dead—those fixed in old stories—cannot praise or know truth because they remain identified with yesterday’s self. But you, here and now, can choose to live as the living truth, the living word, the I AM that forgives and renews. The apparent crisis becomes the occasion by which consciousness reforms itself. Peace arrives not from changing outward circumstances but from changing the inner state and feeling it real. So the verse invites you to realize that you are delivered by love, and that your confession of forgiveness is the instrument that makes truth present in your life. Your imagination is your altar; your awareness writes your reality.
