Biblical Context

Philippians 4:7 promises that God's peace will guard our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. In plain terms, a tranquil divine presence protects our inner life as we live from the inside out.

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, the phrase the peace of God is not a distant blessing but a state of awareness you awaken within. The word peace is the rhythm of I AM, and it guards your heart and mind by your steadfast identification with Christ within. When you are awake to the I AM, the circumstance may roar, yet the inner sanctuary remains untouched; peace passes human understanding because it does not depend on reason or event but on consciousness. You are told that this peace will keep you through Christ Jesus. Consider Jesus not as a historical figure but as the Christ within you—the indwelling anointing. It is this inner presence that keeps your heart calm, your thoughts clear, and your desires aligned with divine reality. The more you dwell in the awareness that you are this peace, the more external conditions reflect your inner serenity.

Practice This Now

Act now: close your eyes and assume the feeling of I AM at peace now, visualizing a circle of light surrounding your heart and mind. Stay with that image until you feel the inner guard holding you in calm.
