The Inner Second Calling

Neville's Inner Vision

Jonah's name on the page is not an external man, but a state of consciousness that resists, then yields. When the word of the LORD comes the second time, it is your inner I AM speaking again—the persistent whisper that you are already called to a particular work and witness. The first refusal has not undone the invitation; your present attention can choose a different state, a different act from within. In Neville's terms, the call is not to a place but to a ruling idea: you, aware, decide the quality of your days by the assumption you entertain. To hear it a second time is to feel the power of alignment - the moment you accept the self that came with the original commission and now embraces it with a fuller faith. The promise is not in future hours but in your present consciousness: you become the agent of the mission by consenting to it inwardly, and then your outward effects begin to shift accordingly.
