Redeemed From Enemies Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Psalm 136:24 speaks not of a distant rescue by a person, but of a state you awaken to. When I feel redeemed from my enemies, I am recognizing the I AM that cannot be conquered by fear, lack, or separation. The enemies are simply projections of lesser states of consciousness seeking to torment me; mercy endures because it is the eternal nature of the I AM itself, not a momentary mercy granted from outside. To read this verse as a psychological truth is to revise your inner weather. Trust that God’s love does the deliverance by awakening you to who you truly are: the one awareness that survives every assault of doubt. The moment you assume the feeling of being redeemed, you close the distance between the sense of attack and the peace that follows. If you imagine the scene of deliverance, you are not pleading with a distant deity; you are turning within and recognizing that the enemy is an appearance while the mercy is your own perpetual nature. Persist in that recognition and your inner battlefield becomes a quiet field of triumph.
