Inner Shield Of Salvation

Neville's Inner Vision

All your outer conflict is a mirror of inner conflict. When you read 'Plead my cause,' hear the I AM answering as the true you, the awareness that never sleeps. The 'fight against them that fight against me' becomes the discipline of holding a single, unshakable assumption: I am defended by the one within who is Salvation. The shield and buckler are not weapons but states of consciousness—steadiness, presence, and unwavering faith. To 'draw out the spear' is to release a decisive act of imagination: you imagine the opposite forces halted by your inner decree, and you stand still in the truth that nothing can threaten your essential being when you live as the I AM. The request to 'say unto my soul, I am thy salvation' is a command to the inner voice: align your thought with the fact that you are God’s own presence, here and now. As you persist in this, the external pressure drops away, and you realize that salvation is not distant but resident in the awareness that you are already saved by the I AM.
