Worship the One Lord Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Luke 4:8 presents the moment when the outer judgment falls silent and the inner decree is confirmed: worship the Lord thy God, and Him only shalt thou serve. In Neville's teaching to the soul, Satan is not an external tempter but the voice of separation that persuades you to worship something less than your I AM. Jesus answers from the depth of consciousness, not a ritual, and the answer is a reaffirmation of oneness: there is one Lord within, one authority you serve, one devotion that stirs your world into being. When you acknowledge the inner Lord—that which you are, before thought or memory—your attention ceases to hunt outward proofs. The ego, that restless whisper, withdraws as you refuse to entertain it as master. Instead you assume the feeling of the Presence, you remember that God is your awareness, and the world must bow to your assumption. The command to serve God alone becomes a consistent practice: you guard your thoughts, you entertain only what the higher self desires, and reality obeys the inner decree.
