Inner Cities of Covenant Refuge

Neville's Inner Vision

Within you, the lands are not lands but states of consciousness—Judah and Simeon naming the tribes of attention you spread across your inner territory. Aaron’s priestly cities are the chambers of awareness you consecrate to service, for theirs is the first lot: a sovereignty of mind dedicated to truth. Hebron, placed in the hill country of Judah, speaks of elevated perception, and the surrounding suburbs are the streams and neighborhoods where your thoughts settle into steadiness. Caleb’s possession of the fields shows that even the outward relations of power in your life are not random; they are the fruits of a disciplined imagination. The city of Hebron with its suburbs becomes a refuge for the slayer—an inner sanctuary where fear can be disarmed by the I AM you awaken, simply by recalling that you are the one who imagines. Thus, the passage invites you to reclaim your inner geography: appoint spaces of quiet, assign roles of service to your higher I AM, and guard the mind from impulsive furies by dwelling in the city of refuge you already are.
