Inner Beginning of Reign

Neville's Inner Vision

At the center of this verse is an invitation to recognize the birth of a new state of consciousness within you. The 'word' from the LORD is not a distant oracle but the I AM speaking within— a commanding, inward mandate that claims sovereignty over your inner life. The 'beginning' of the reign symbolizes the moment you decide to rule from awareness rather than reaction; the king is your current level of consciousness, and the LORD's word is the governing belief you seed in mind. As you attend to this inner word, you practice the greatest act of imagination: you revise the story you live by and allow your outer world to realign with your inner state. The Kingdom of God becomes not a distant future but the present condition you cultivate by assumption, feeling, and attention. If you persist in entering this reign, your experiences reflect the authority of that inner word, and your life becomes a conscious creation of your I AM.
