Neville's Inner Vision

Within your own consciousness, the 'LORD' you praise is the I AM you inhabit. When you conceive a desire and claim it in the name of the LORD, you are not petitioning an external power but commanding your inner world to take form. The verse's 'they were created' is a reminder that every image you entertain in awareness becomes a real possession in your life, provided you treat it with immutable authority. The line about establishing them forever and a decree that shall not pass is the certainty that, once you have settled into a state through an assumption, it becomes an established law of your life—no gust of doubt can annul it. Your imagination is the creative instrument; praise is your inner alignment, acknowledging that the decree already exists in you. Do not seek it outside, but align your I AM with the image you desire until your feeling confirms its reality. The moment you impress the decided state upon your own consciousness, you set an unshakable order that endures.
