Presence Before the Battle

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider that the land you are to enter is a state of consciousness. To advance while the LORD is not among you is to proceed with a mind that has forgotten the I AM within. The Amalekites and Canaanites are not external tribes but the fears, doubts and habits that stand before your conscious awareness. When you identify with separation, you declare that God is not with you, and so your inner army falters, and your outer experience mirrors that lack. The command is not a geographical warning but a call to inner alignment: insist that the Presence fills every decision, breath, and moment. If you feel abandoned, simply revise your assumption: 'I AM here, I and the Father are one; the I AM within me goes before me and is my defense.' The moment you dwell in that inner LORD, the sense of 'enemy' dissolves, and the path opens as a natural extension of your being. This is how faith becomes action—by assuming, feeling, and declaring the Presence until it is your felt reality.
