Biblical Context

John's disciples report Jesus' deeds; John sends two followers to ask if Jesus is the coming Messiah.

Neville's Inner Vision

John is a state of consciousness seeking reassurance from another state. The messengers carry doubt, yet the response is not a historical declaration but the witness of inner works: the presence of God moving through Jesus. The Kingdom, for Neville, arises within when the I AM—your awareness—recognizes itself in action. The question “Are you the Coming One?” is really a question you ask of your own being: Is this the manifestation of the I AM? The answer unfolds in acts of transformation—healing, forgiveness, a dawning order—because imagination, not history, creates reality. Your doubt is a signal that you have not completed the act of assuming the state you desire. When you revise the inner scene to already reflect the promised Kingdom, the signs appear as your life follows your inner assumption. Let the inner Jesus move through you, and the presence of God becomes your present experience, here and now.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly and declare, 'I am the Coming One.' Feel the I AM within you and imagine the desired state already real; hold that feeling for a minute and let it color your next moment.
