Biblical Context
Psalm 132:13-18 speaks of God choosing Zion as His dwelling and promising rest, abundant provision, salvation for the priests, and a flourishing crown for David's line. It frames divine favor as present reality for those who awaken to the I AM within.
Neville's Inner Vision
In Neville's measure Zion is a state of consciousness, not a geography. The LORD choosing Zion is the realization that I AM has chosen a dwelling within me, a sanctuary I can enter by attention. This is my rest forever; here I dwell invites me to rest in being, to feel already complete in this moment. Provision becomes the felt reality of abundance, the sense that needs are met by the inner atmosphere I sustain with belief. Clothe her priests with salvation and her saints shall shout for joy translates to the inner faculties—discernment, faith, gratitude—arrayed in salvation’s robe, so joy becomes my natural expression. There will I make the horn of David to bud; I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed becomes my inner authority and the guiding light of every choice. Enemies are clothed with shame only as fear yields to the realized I AM; but my crown flourishes when I affirm the inner king and dwell there, radiating royal presence.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume Zion now as your dwelling place. Feel the I AM resting there, then imagine a lamp shining within, a royal crown upon your head, and declare I AM Presence rules my life.
