Inner Covenant of Obedience

Neville's Inner Vision

Jeremiah 11:4 speaks of an inner command: hear the voice and do it, so you become God’s people and He becomes your God. But in the Neville reading, that command is not an external law to keep; it is a law of consciousness. The fathers and the iron furnace symbolize your former states of mind under pressure, shaped by fear and limitation. To obey is to consent to the inner voice of the I AM, to align your entire being with an imagined state of presence. When you assume you are already in that divine relationship— that you hear, obey, and are governed by the I AM—you discover you are the one who is doing the command. The “people” and the “God” are not distant persons but your present state of awareness, now made intimate and real by your assumption. The covenant is simply the steady identification with the I AM as your own being, here and now. Practice daily, and you will find the outer world yields to the inner state you have already assumed.
