From Belly to Blessing

Neville's Inner Vision

Jonah’s cry from the belly is not a historical venting but a vivid map of consciousness. The fish’s interior represents a current state where fear and limitation swirl, yet it is in this stark space that the voice of the I AM can be heard. When you feel your own affliction, recognize that the voice you hear is your own awareness answering the call of consciousness. God hearing you is not an external favor but the immediate acknowledgment of your state. To Neville, prayer is not begging God to move; it is the conscious act of assuming the truth you already are. If you feel trapped, revise: I am the I AM; I am heard; I am free now. The outer symbol—the belly, the abyss—is a catalyst for inner conversion, not a final verdict. As you dwell in the felt sense of being heard, the inner disposition shifts, and so does your experience. The cry from the depths marks a turning from fear to faith, from waiting to realization, from demand to presence. Your salvation is an inner conversion—the recognition that you are, right now, the voice God hears.
