Inner Governor's Fall and Rise

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider Jeremiah 41:2 as counsel to your inner life. Gedaliah is the governor you trust—the structure you think keeps your mind orderly. Babylon, the visible power, represents external circumstances you believe must be in place for you to feel secure. When Ishmael kills Gedaliah, the event is not merely historical; it is a symbol of what happens inside when you assign your safety to something apart from I AM. The 'king of Babylon' is the voice that says: 'control comes from without.' The inner question then becomes: who is governing your land now? The moment you believe such a loss indicts you, you have an opportunity to revise. Return your allegiance to the unshakable I AM, the awareness that remains unaffected by surges of fear or betrayal. Imagination creates reality; thus you can re-create the governor as a faithful facet of the inner kingdom, not its ruler. By choosing to govern from consciousness, you empower a new administration that cannot be assassinated by outer change. The inner city survives every upheaval because its king is God within.
