The Hour of Living Faith

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider the scene as a parable of your own inner state. The father represents your I AM, the conscious I that can speak for life. When he asks the hour, he is not seeking a schedule of events but the exact point in his consciousness where belief shifted. The seventh hour is the precise moment a conviction in life drops into your present awareness and overlaps the outer scene. When the servants answer, 'thy son liveth,' the words are not a report from outside, but a confirmation that the inner state has become identical with life. The fever left only because the inner condition—your assumption—aligns with it. The whole house following the father shows that your inner atmosphere radiates outward; your relationships mirror your inner trust. The miracle is not a separate happening but the natural consequence of an awakened state that precedes the change in form. Therefore, healings are verified the moment you accept the truth you have spoken as now true, and you dwell there until appearances reflect it.
