Inner Rain: Elijah’s Prayer Power

Neville's Inner Vision

Elijah’s drought and rain are not distant events; they symbolize the inner weather of consciousness. The scripture tells us he was a man of like passions, yet he moved his inner climate through prayer. When he uttered a drought, the external scene obeyed his inner state for three years and six months; when he prayed again, the rain returned as the fruit of that renewed assumption. In Neville’s view, the power does not lie in asking a separate deity to change the world but in waking to the fact that you are the I AM that commands reality. Your prayers reflect the state you hold in mind; to transform outcomes you must refuse to identify with lack and instead inhabit the feeling of the fulfilled condition. The drought is simply your old picture; the rain is your new conviction. Hold the image and sensation of abundance until it becomes your habitual awareness, and the earth will bring forth fruit as an outer sign of your inner weather. Thus you stand as Elijah did—capable of changing weather by the sovereign act of consciousness.
