The Lord Within: Mark 12

Neville's Inner Vision

In the temple of your mind, the question of whether the Christ is only a son of David dissolves before a higher claim: the Christ is the Lord, the I AM within, seated at your right hand. David naming him Lord by the Holy Ghost signals that true authority in you surpasses outward lineage or reputation; it is an inner ruler, not a historical title. The notion that power comes from the past yields to the present consciousness that I AM rules here and now. The common people hearing him gladly mirrors the openness of a mind prepared to awaken to its own sovereignty. For you, this implies you can revise any scene in your mental house until the inner ruler is acknowledged as present tense. When you assume the state I am the Lord within, you tilt the mental universe in your favor, and imagined enemies become footstools beneath the authority of awakened consciousness. This is the Kingdom of God as a felt state you inhabit through imagination and steady attention to the I AM.
