Fear of the LORD Within

Neville's Inner Vision

To fear the LORD is to awaken the I AM within your consciousness and to hate the inner evil that dulls that light. Pride, arrogance, the evil way, and the froward mouth are not distant foes; they are the inner movements of a mind asleep to its divinity. When you identify with the witness—the I AM—you disallow these traits from your personal theater. The 'fear' becomes reverent attention to the law of your being: align with truth, purity, and integrity, and reject the counterfeit thoughts that parade as self-importance or deceit. Your imagination is the workshop where this change takes hold: imagine yourself already free of pride; imagine speech that is truthful, gentle, and clean. As you dwell in that inner state, the outer world gradually follows, not by struggle, but by the natural correction of your inner posture. The verse invites you to keep holy company with your inner I AM, for in that alignment your discernment awakens and your life reflects the kingdom within.
