Inner Sabbath Lordship

Neville's Inner Vision

Here the 'Son of Man' stands as your higher self, the I AM within. If the inner self is Lord of the Sabbath, then rest ceases to be mere cessation and becomes a state you consciously preside over. The external law of Sabbath becomes an inner cadence you can revise with an assumed feeling of sovereignty: I AM alive, alert, and at rest in the One I am. When you imagine yourself already ruling the rhythm of your day, you experience thoughts, emotions, and acts flowing from a state of effortless authority rather than struggle. The Sabbath is not a place you keep but a mental condition you maintain; to claim lordship is to decide in advance what you will accept as real. Your obedience becomes faithfulness to the inner I AM, not compliance with outward rules. In this way, Luke 6:5 invites a practical transformation: you become the ruler of your inner time by feeling it real that you are free, sovereign, and fully awake.
