Gideon’s Inner Assurance

Neville's Inner Vision

Within your inner theater, Gideon stands as a state of consciousness convinced that the Lord has forsaken Israel. The LORD is not an external ruler but the I AM within you—awareness waking to action. The question 'why is all this befallen us?' is the mind clinging to past stories, a memory of miracles past, rather than the immediacy of present power. When the Lord tells Gideon, 'Go in this thy might, and thou shalt save Israel,' you hear the call to assume a new identity: not a weak self, but a strong, imaginatively empowered self already equipped. The line 'Surely I will be with thee' is the assurance of presence you can claim now: you are not asking God to come; you are inviting your own awareness to consent to power flowing through you. The confession 'I am the least in my father's house' is the old sense of limitation dissolving as you align with the truth that divine energy bears you. When you hold the vision and move as one man, you execute the action of the unified state within you, and the world yields to your demonstration.
