The Inner Deliverance Path

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this verse, I hear not a command to perform rites, but a declaration about the quality of your inner state. The 'kind' that will not depart is a stubborn convocation of thought and feeling—lack, fear, identity with limitation—an inner fortress built in consciousness. Prayer, in the Neville sense, is the intimate petition of the I AM to awaken to itself; it is not begging but aligning, choosing to dwell as the One Awareness that already contains the solution. Fasting is the inner discipline of withholding attention from the very impulses that feed the problem—stopping the mental chatter that declares 'I am separated' and 'this will not pass.' When you pair the two, you are not bargaining with God; you are correcting the map by which you live. As you inhabit the awareness that you are one with the Source, the so-called infection loses its grip, and the scene around you rearranges to reflect your inner posture. This is spiritual warfare waged in the theatre of your own consciousness, where deliverance is the natural fruit of inner unity and steadfast trust.
