Faith That Displays Itself

Neville's Inner Vision

James is not asking for barren belief, but for the inward ruler of imagination to be made visible by its natural offspring. Faith, if it hath not works, is dead because it remains a solitary whisper in the I AM, not a state felt and lived. In the Neville view, faith is an active, present-tense awareness—your sense of 'I am' imagining a state and then asking your inner self to rearrange experience to match. The works are not empty acts done to please God, but the inner movements that align with the imagined state: feeling the wish fulfilled, choosing thoughts and choices that corroborate it, and assuming the scene as already complete. When you say you have faith and neglect to let that faith generate visible results in consciousness, you leave the door ajar for doubt. Conversely, the moment you dwell in the imagined state, the heart breathes it, the decisions bend, and outward form follows as a natural echo. Faith and works become one act of consciousness, lawfully producing form where you live from the I AM. Your task is to practice the inner demonstration until you feel it as reality.
