Inner Temptation and The I Am

Neville's Inner Vision

Enter as the I AM watching the scene unfold within your own consciousness. The first whisper, 'If thou be the Son, command this stone to become bread,' is the cry of hunger turning life into a craving for form. But life is not sustained by bread alone; it is sustained by every word of God—by the living imagination that knows itself as the word that creates. The second lure offers all the kingdoms of the world in a moment, promising power, approval, and mastery. This is the ego’s impulse to make yourself a god before the throne of your own awareness. Yet the answer, 'Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and Him only shalt thou serve,' moves power from without to within, affirming that true reign is awareness, not domination. The third test—tempting God by casting yourself down—exposes the urge to prove safety through spectacle. The reply, 'It is written, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God,' asks you to let the inner authority guide you, not the thrill of risk. When you acknowledge the I AM as the sole reality, the devil's voice diminishes, and the kingdom of peace and obedience arises within you.
