Biblical Context

Neville's Inner Vision

Whenever you claim to be the righteous, you are lifting your consciousness into the seat where God I AM watches and listens. The eyes that Psalm 34:15 speaks of are not distant stars but your own awareness fixed on the state you have chosen. When you dwell in that state—beloved, the 'cry' you utter is not a petition to a distant deity but your imagination sharpening attention and intention—your cry awakens a response in your inner atmosphere. The Lord's face against evil is the natural recoil of a consciousness that refuses to identify with it; in other words, by accepting your right-standing, you displace the memory of calamity from your earth. The righteous cry, and the Lord hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles: this 'deliverance' is the rearrangement of appearances as you abide in the conviction that you are already the one heard. Do not seek an outside rescue; embody, right now, the I AM that feels heard and untroubled, and the outer world follows suit.
