Inner Exile, Divine Deliverance

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider these lines as inner terrain, not distant history. The captive exile is a state of consciousness within you, a belief you have forgotten your wholeness. The urge to be loosed and to escape the pit reveals a mind clinging to lack and time, a memory that bread may fail. Yet the voice that follows—But I am the LORD thy God, that divided the sea—is the present I AM awakening within you. In Neville's terms, God is not out there but your own awareness, the I AM that can redraw the landscape of your life. The sea that roared becomes the mental obstacle you have imagined beyond your reach, now stirred and parted by the creative power of imagination properly directed. When you rest in the assumption that you are already loosed, you reveal a new movement: the waves of fear retreat, and provision flows in the form of steady nourishment and safety. The Lord of hosts is the name of your inner sovereignty, the steady, unstoppable energy behind every circumstance. This is not a history lesson but a present, dynamic realization.
