Inner Servant, Arm of God

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, the report you question is not about an event in history outside you; it is the state of your own consciousness becoming aware. The arm of the LORD is the living power of awareness within you, revealed when you stop doubting and declare, I AM. The Servant who grows up before God as a tender plant from dry ground is your higher self arising from the old dryness of fear and lack. He has no form or comeliness in the old image, but in the new vision you behold him as the truth of your being. He is despised and rejected by the old you, a man of sorrows whose appearance you once avoided; yet this inner Servant bears your griefs and carries your sorrows, freeing you from their claim. When you accept that he was wounded for your transgressions and bruised for your iniquities, you acknowledge that the chastisement of peace was laid upon him, and by his stripes you are healed. All we like sheep have wandered, yet the LORD places the iniquity of us all on this inner being, guiding you back to the I AM—healed, whole, and now.
