Inner Overthrow of the Sodom State

Neville's Inner Vision

Your Jeremiah 49:18 speaks not of distant ruin, but of the state you assume in consciousness. Sodom and its neighbours are inner dispositions that, when held as true, deny you a dwelling in life; the Lord says they shall not abide. In Neville’s sense, the overthrow is the collapse of a habitual pattern, a letting go of an identity that says ‘I am separate from all that is’ and therefore cannot inhabit fullness. The verse names a judgment, but the living implication is that you can redraw the map of your inner city. When you awaken to I AM awareness and refuse to identify with the old attractions or fears, those states lose their habitation; the near-by thoughts of pride, appetite, or worry are displaced by a new peace that you call your dwelling. The outer desolation mirrors a decisive inner decision: you choose to dwell in a new feeling, a new sense of presence, where no old structure can stand in the light of your present I AM.
