Scripture Focus

6And he said, An hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty.

7Then said he to another, And how much owest thou? And he said, An hundred measures of wheat. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and write fourscore.

Luke 16:6-7

Biblical Context

On the surface, a master commends a steward for reducing debts by rewriting the bills. The scene points to inner management of resources and the power of revising what we count as provision.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this parable, the master is not an external creditor but your own awareness, the I AM that governs every situation. The steward who writes down a smaller sum is your inner mind learning to shift states: you cancel the old limitation by declaring a new value and settling into it with feeling. Oil and wheat symbolize two faculties of supply: energy for action and sustenance for life. When you revise the bill, you are not cheating circumstance but aligning your inner account with the truth you desire to experience. The lesson is that wealth and provision come through disciplined inner discernment—choosing which state to inhabit and then acting from it in imagination. Rather than fighting the world, you change the inner ledger, and the outer world follows by harmonizing with your revised sense of self. The parable invites you to trust your imagination as the instrument by which you reorder conditions into abundance, turning anxiety into quiet confidence as you dwell in the fulfilled feeling now.

Practice This Now

Try this now: sit quietly, declare 'I am the I AM; I revise every inner debt into provision,' and write a new bill in your journal that reduces the counts (e.g., oil from 100 to 50, wheat from 100 to 80), then feel the relief as if the revision is already true.
