Inner Guard Of The Lord Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Observe that Psalm 12 describes a moment when consciousness falters—'the godly man ceaseth'—and yet carries the promise of restoration. In Neville’s terms, the godliness is a state of awareness, the faithful a level of trust in the I AM. When you hear vanity, flattering lips, and a double heart, you are witnessing the disturbance of your inner dialogue, not the world’s reality. The Lord arising is the inner act of consciousness that corrects your speech and sets your thoughts into truth. The oppressor and the puffs of pride are your ego’s tides against which you must build a calm, clear center. The 'poor' and the 'needy' speak as symbols of parts of you craving safety, mercy, and justice; their sighing is the urge for alignment with truth. As you take your stand in the I AM, you are not pleading for rescue from outside but inviting the inner Lord to govern, to cut off vanity, and to restore safety. In that alignment, righteousness and redemption flow as your experience, and the divine protection becomes natural, here and now.
