Inner Sovereignty of God

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the Jeremiah verse, the Lord’s claim is not a distant decree but the waking assertion of your own consciousness. 'I am the LORD, the God of all flesh' becomes, in your inner life, the unassailable I AM that stands behind every thought and feeling. The question 'is there anything too hard for me?' is the invitation to realize that no impression of lack or fear can overpower the sovereign you who imagines. When the verse says, 'I will give this city into the hand of the Chaldeans,' you hear: I permit the old state to pass through the hand of circumstance, but I do so from a place of definite inner decree. The city—your present dominant pattern of thought, fear, or habit—will be allowed to be taken (not destroyed) by a new life when you affirm the higher state. Thus, judgment is not punishment but the natural shedding of an outgrown identity. By dwelling in the awareness that nothing is too hard for the I AM within, you release the need to control exterior events and let the new state be born in you. The outer world then mirrors the inner revision.
