Setting Inner Standards

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Jeremiah's cry, the standard set in the land is not a banner over a city but a belief you choose in your mind. Babylon stands for the old, limiting sense you have accepted as real, and the trumpet you blow is the clear inner declaration that you are awake. When you hear, call together the nations—your memory, imagination, reason, and affection—as those who must stand ready under your inner ruler. Ararat, Minni, and Ashchenaz are simply regions of your thought—the precincts of habit and memory. A captain is appointed in your will to lead this disciplined band, and the horses come up as rough caterpillars—swift, unsettling movements in the mind that threaten the new governance. Yet these movements are not your enemy; they are the last forces of the old order reconfiguring under the king you have chosen. For the Kingdom of God is within, and by imagining yourself already living in that kingdom you dissolve Babylon's grip. Treat every thought as a citizen of your inner realm; none governs you but your I AM.
