The Inner King Speaks

Neville's Inner Vision

Here, in the inner scripture, the LORD is not a distant judge but the I AM within you—the king whose throne is the alignment of your own consciousness with divine order. 'Go down to the house of the king of Judah' becomes a movement of attention toward the inner throne, the place where you truly rule your world. The 'king of Judah, that sittest upon the throne of David' points to the ruling idea you have valued most—your central assumption about life. When you hear 'the word of the LORD,' you are being asked to test your own thoughts, beliefs, and habits at the gates—your outward entrances into life. To obey is to revise any sense of limitation and to affirm, here and now, that your inner word governs your outer event. The call is to bring your entire crew—'thy servants, and thy people'—into harmony with this inner law. In practice, you imagine yourself in the king's house within, hear the decree, and let it stamp your feeling and action as if it were already so. This is the birth of a life that obeys God from within.
