Inner Sword of the Mouth

Neville's Inner Vision

From the I AM vantage, the mouth stands for your spoken decree—your inner assumption made audible to consciousness. 'Made my mouth like a sharp sword' means your words are formed as a blade that cuts through seeming contradictions when your awareness is aligned with the divine hand that covers you. 'In the shadow of his hand he hid me' indicates you are kept in a secret, safe state of consciousness while your instrument is being honed. 'Made me a polished shaft; in his quiver he hid me' reveals that your faculties—speech, purpose, and action—are being refined, stored in divine readiness for the moment of release. This is the image of vocation and Prophecy & Promise: you are being equipped for a mission of truth, often unseen until the inner man is fully formed. The presence of God is not distant but the I AM itself shaping and guiding your inner speech. When you awaken to this truth, you realize you are the bow and the archer—your life is a realized promise already.
