Desolate Places Rise Again

Neville's Inner Vision

Desolation is a state of mind, not a map of the land. In God’s language, the desolate place becomes a field opened by the I AM—your awareness. The ‘habitation of shepherds’ is your inner capacity to tend thoughts and feelings, to guide them with quiet authority. The flocks passing under the hands of him that telleth them symbolize your thoughts moving under the sure narration of your inner speaker—the constructed I, the one who knows what you are becoming. When the LORD speaks, He speaks to your present consciousness: restore the field, return order, invite care. This is not about outward cities alone; it is the inner arrangement of life itself. If you reside in the certainty that restoration is already established in your mind, you align with the very act of creation. The promise becomes your practice: you assume the state of a flourishing pasture, and your world follows the pattern of that assumption. Restoration occurs as you dwell in the I AM, perceiving abundance as your normal state.
