Banner Of Salvation Within

Neville's Inner Vision

On the surface, the verse speaks of rejoicing in salvation and lifting banners in the name of God, but Neville would translate it as a declaration of consciousness. Rejoicing is not an event to be achieved; it is the stable state of awareness that already is saved from fear and limitation. 'Thy salvation' is your own I AM, the living awareness that secures you in the now. When you declare 'we will set up our banners,' you are placing banners in the inner field—a visible sign that your state of consciousness has shifted. The banners represent victories in the mind, not in the world; they mark the inner atmosphere where gratitude and faith reside. And 'the LORD fulfil all thy petitions' becomes a discipline in assuming the satisfaction of your requests by the One Power within. Truth is: God does not fulfill from outside; you, as the I AM, fulfill by assuming the end and living from it. Persist in feeling the truth that salvation is now, and your petitions unfold accordingly, for your desires are the natural happenings of your changed consciousness.
