Judges 12:3 Inner Deliverance

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, see the scene as an inward climate. When I saw that the outer helpers delivered me not, I did not dispute the evidence of the senses; I reigned inwardly by placing my life in my hands—the firm act of assuming the state I desire. I moved across the inner boundary against the children of Ammon, not by force outside, but by the force of inner conviction. And the LORD delivered them into my hand: that is the inner law at work, the I AM answering the state I dwell in. The Ammonites stand for fear and limitation within; crossing over them means I refuse to let lack dictate my path. Deliverance then moves from within to without, as a natural consequence of the state I hold and feel. Your faith is not a gesture toward a distant event; it is a present awareness that you are the one in whom God dwells and acts. When you entertain that you are delivered, you become the deliverer; the world mirrors the victorious state you have assumed.
