Inner King and Defense

Neville's Inner Vision

As you study Psalms 89:18, remember the Lord is not a distant fortress but a state of consciousness that defends you now. The Holy One of Israel, within you, is the king who sits on the throne of awareness; through Him your life is governed. When you assume, even for a moment, that 'I am defended' and 'I reign in my heart,' your thoughts, feelings, and perceptions rearrange to honor safety, order, and purpose. The defense is not a barrier you pass through; it is the continuous felt presence that steadies you, dissolving fear and resistance. The inner king issues quiet decrees: confidence in action, clarity of direction, compassion in response. In Neville's practice, events are interpretations by your consciousness—a defense and a ruler manifesting as your present experience. So you move through the day with a sense that the I AM protects and rules, and your external world becomes the faithful expression of that inner government. Let the inner sovereign govern your choices, and you will see life align with divine order.
