Biblical Context

Neville's Inner Vision

Psalm 111:6 speaks of God showing his people the power of his works, that he may give them the heritage of the heathen. In Neville’s reading, the 'works' are not distant miracles but the steady, creative acts of imagination, belief, and feeling by which a life is formed. The I AM—your true awareness—is the source of all power; the inner movements of mind are the real farm from which outward conditions spring. When you recognize that your inner acts can shape reality, the heritage spoken of becomes present, not distant. The inheritance of the nations is a symbol for the abundant conditions you are capable of claiming when you dwell in a state of fulfilled possibility. Therefore, the verse invites you to shepherd your thoughts and feelings, to revise any lack into wholeness, and to trust that your imagined acts are the seed that grows into form. Your life is a living demonstration of what you consistently entertain in mind. The power is given to you so you may claim your divine inheritance now, by living from the end and trusting the unseen hand that shapes being.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly and, in the present tense, declare: I AM the heir of abundance; I have the power of my works now. Visualize receiving a deed or symbol of wealth and feel genuine gratitude as if it is already mine, for 5–7 minutes.
