Behind Me: Inner Discernment

Neville's Inner Vision

Peter represents a state of consciousness that clings to clever plans and appearances, a voice that says, 'I know best how to save face and secure outcomes.' Jesus calls that voice Satan because it keeps you fixated on man-made strategies rather than God's will within. When I, the I AM, become aware of that voice, I imagine it stepping behind me, no longer directing the scene. The mind that savors 'things of men' is busy calculating and resisting; the God-made mind, in inner alignment, trusts the divine pattern and feels the truth that all power flows from the inside out. The call to 'savor not' is a call to revise the imagined self-ruling and to feel the shift of attention back to the immutable You who never errs. In this inner act, truth ceases to be a distant doctrine and becomes a living visitation: every thought is tested by whether it serves God's purpose, not personal advantage. The result is humility, wisdom, and a steady feel of peace—the sure sign that your interior governor has returned to command.
