I Am Looked Upon in Zion

Neville's Inner Vision

Picture the I AM as the sovereign gaze, looking down from the height of your sanctuary into the earth of your thoughts. The groaning you hear is the shout of a mind clinging to limit, a prisoner within who believes conditions govern life. Yet the Lord’s attention is upon you, ready to loosen the cords of that belief and to replace it with awareness that liberates. When you see from above, you realize that the 'death' spoken of is only a mistaken self-image—an old identity that must give way to the living presence of God within. In this moment, declare Zion and Jerusalem in your heart: Zion as the inner state of worshipful awareness, Jerusalem as the daily life that expresses what you believe. To declare the name of the LORD there is to acknowledge, I AM, the one reality by which all things are made new. Mercy, providence, and true worship spring forth naturally when you accept that God hears you, releases you, and invites you to praise.
