Rod Of Inner Testimony

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this text, the rod is not a stick but your fixed idea of who you are in God. The 'testimony' is the inner law you accept as true. The 'rebels' are your restless thoughts and doubts; when you let murmuring run unchecked, you imagine a fate that mirrors death or interruption. Bringing the rod before the testimony means you deliberately place your unchanging assumption into the very light of your awareness, so it becomes seen as fact in your mind. The power is not in the rod, but in the certainty you hold; once you hold to a present-tense truth, the mutterings lose their power because consciousness has accepted a higher order. The verse teaches that life follows consciousness, not circumstance, and judgment resolves when you stop feeding fear. So, practice now by choosing a desired state and treating it as fact in your inner sight, letting every thought align with that end until it feels real. The protection and life you seek come from within the I AM.
