In God's Refuge: Inner Salvation

Neville's Inner Vision

Within every person there is a generation of the righteous—the I AM, the living presence that God dwells in. Fear arises only when you forget that you are that presence. The phrase 'There were they in great fear' marks the moment you lose awareness; the LORD is in the generation of the righteous, meaning your inner state is where God resides. To 'shame the counsel of the poor' is to discount the external opinions that call your lack real; your refuge is not a distant place but the immediacy of your awareness where the Lord dwells. The longing 'Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion' is a call to recognize that salvation is not future conquest but the awakening of Zion within—your inner state restored. When the Lord brings back the captivity of His people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad: this is the inner turnaround when you surrender to the Lord's presence and let it guide every thought, feeling, and action. Your life becomes a visible expression of the inner reality that was always there, awaiting your acceptance.
