Word-Driven Obedience Within

Neville's Inner Vision

To Neville, this verse isn't about external obedience to a distant commander but about the inner state you cultivate. 'Lord' is the I AM within you, the self that speaks as guidance, not an external name. When you say 'Lord' you are signaling readiness to obey the inner instruction, the 'things I say.' Yet the true obedience is not compliance to ritual, but an inner revision of your consciousness so that your attitudes, feelings, and imagined experiences are in harmony with that directive. You have imagined many stories about lack, limitation, or separation; Luke 6:46 invites you to revise those stories until your inner world behaves as if the command is already done. The words you hear are the laws of your own consciousness. If you feel fear or doubt, imagine yourself answering with a calm, assured 'Yes' and carry that feeling into every moment. Ultimately, the king within you is not distant; it is your state of awareness that acts when you act on the inner command. Your life then becomes the natural fruit of obedience.
