Inner Worship Awakening

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of Psalm 97:7-8 as a beacon for the inner traveler. The 'idolaters' are not distant worshipers; they are the states of consciousness you keep feeding when you cling to images of lack, limitation, or separation—your own gravestones of belief. In Neville's terms, these idols are inner powers you have allowed to operate independently. The command 'Confounded be all they that serve graven images' is the moment you refuse to honor those separated pictures and return your allegiance to the I AM that animates you. 'Worship him, all ye gods' calls your faculties—your will, imagination, memory, and senses—to align under one sovereign awareness. Zion heard, and Judah rejoiced; this is the inner city awakening to the LORD's judgments—your inner law of cause and effect revealing order, justice, and harmony. As you acknowledge the I AM within, the old idols lose their gravity; judgment becomes a liberating discernment, not punishment. The truth of the psalm is practical: you change your state of consciousness, and the world you experience rearranges itself to reflect that new alignment.
