Neville's Inner Vision

Luke 4:31-32 invites you to see this scene as a drama of consciousness, not geography. Capernaum is the inner town where your settled beliefs gather to hear a new doctrine. The Sabbath marks a quiet space in the mind set aside for listening to the I AM the true speaker within. When they were astonished by his doctrine, it was the moment your inner ear registers a bolder claim about you that your word is with power. The Word is not mere speech but the living assumption behind speech the imaginative act by which you clothe your life in form. The power flows from alignment when you feel that the doctrine is true at the core your inner atmosphere shifts and the outer conditions must follow. The crowd's astonishment mirrors your own waking awe as you realize change is wrought by endorsing a new state of consciousness not by wrestling with events. In truth Jesus authority is your own awakened I AM expressing through you as a vivid undeniable reality.
