Neville's Inner Vision

Suppose the 'word that came to Jeremiah' is the living decree you plant in your own consciousness. The people of Judah and Jerusalem are the chairs of your inner city—your beliefs, habits, and reactions. The fourth year of Jehoiakim and the first year of Nebuchadrezzar mark a shift in time, a new season in your mind where old loyalties bow to a greater decree. When Jeremiah prophesies to all the people, the message addresses every occupancy of your heart—fear, doubt, pride, faith, hope. The act of hearing is the inner listening of consciousness. The 'word' moves within, and the 'Babylon' power is the testing movement of life that reveals what you truly believe. In Neville's terms, events are inner movements, not outward facts; by choosing to stand in the state of the I AM, you invite those movements to align with your decree. The moment you assume the desired state—present, certain, and real—you transform the inner climate, and the outer scene follows.
