Flint-Hearted Courage in Isaiah 50:6-7

Neville's Inner Vision

All the outward smiters and the haters are but inner thoughts testing your vitality. You, the I AM, affirm 'the Lord GOD will help me,' and so you refuse to be confounded. To set your face like a flint is to fix a state of consciousness—a settled assumption that cannot be moved by appearances. When that inner certainty wakes, the scenes of shame or spitting lose their grip, for they are only the echo of what you once believed. The law Neville teaches is that imagination creates reality: if you dwell in the sense 'I am helped,' your life must follow. Suffering then becomes the discipline that strengthens the inner resolve, not a verdict on your worth. Practice this by entering the state, feeling the support as already present, and letting that feeling color every thought, word, and action. Remember: you are the I AM, and your awareness is the only power. The world you see is the image your consciousness has projected; choose a face of faith, and you shall not be ashamed.
