Judah's Inner Strength

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the census, the numbers are not a ledger of external tribes, but the registers of your consciousness. Judah represents strength, leadership, the seed of kingship in you. When you hear that twenty years old and upward are 'able to go forth to war,' you hear the claim that your present state can confront and overcome. The 'house of their fathers' and 'by their generations' speak of the lineage of your beliefs, the fixed ideas you accept as real. When you fix attention on your inner army, the total 74,600 becomes the energy you can marshal in the day of conflict. The 'Kingdom of God' is not a place but your waking state where courage and obedience to your inner law unify. Obedience and faithfulness imply aligning with your I AM, not bending to appearances. The tribe of Judah stands as the vigor that prevents self-deception, yet also the mercy to stand with others in unity. As you dwell in this, you revise your sense of limitation by assuming you are already the man or woman who can march forward.
