Inner Covenant Boundaries

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Nehemiah 13:28-29, the scene is not a mere political cleansing but a turning of consciousness. The son-in-law to Sanballat represents a belief in your mind that has allied itself with fear, a pocket of denial within your inner temple. To chase him from me is to eject a thought that pretends to belong to your sacred order, a suggestion that you are defined by compromised ties rather than by the I AM. The phrase 'remember them' becomes a tool for awareness: you spotlight the memory of the defilement not to condemn but to illuminate where your loyalty has wandered. The covenant of the priesthood and Levites is your commitment to a pure state of consciousness, a sanctuary where nothing contrary to your divine nature can dwell. By removing that inner tie, you declare that your holiness and integrity are non-negotiable. It is obedience to a higher law—faithfulness to the inner covenant—made real by your present perception. In your imagination, you can practice this detachment until it feels like the natural atmosphere of your life. The result is that your inner temple remains undefiled, and your outward world begins to reflect that inner purity.
