Luke 11:43 Inner Status Vision

Neville's Inner Vision

Your fixation on the uppermost seats and public greetings is a misread of who you are. The man who loves rank in the synagogue loves the idea of himself rather than the reality of God within. The I AM in you does not crave applause; it simply IS. When you stand in that awareness, you stop scrambling for outward honor, and the inner kingdom quietly asserts its sovereignty. In this light, the word woe is not a curse but a gentle invitation to turn from vanity toward the enduring dignity that is always present as consciousness. As you cultivate the habit of treating the self as the God-image—worthy, complete, and unchanging—your outward life will reflect that inward arrangement. The sense of separation you felt from others dissolves as you recognize everyone as a reflection of the divine I AM. Do not resist the pull of public esteem, but revise your relationship to it: imagine you are already recognized by your own inner witness, and feel that recognition more than any man's praise.
