Biblical Context
Romans 14:9 says Christ died, rose, and revived so that He would be Lord over both the dead and the living.
Neville's Inner Vision
Seek in this verse the revelation that the so-called death and revival of Christ are not distant events but the inner drama of your own awareness. He died to release the old image you carried; He rose to awaken a living sense of I AM that cannot be contained by fear, limitation, or past identifications. The dead you endure are fixed beliefs and dull habits; the living is the renewed energy of attention that knows God here and now. Christ’s lordship over both dead and living declares that every interior state—whether seemingly lifeless or radiant—is under the sovereignty of the I AM, the self that you are. When you realize this, you understand that you are not at the mercy of circumstance but the ruler of your inner theater. Your imagination becomes the throne room where you revise and renew, and every scene is updated to reflect one continuous life in God. The verse invites you to dwell as the ruler, and thereby awaken your true vitality.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume, in the I AM presence, that Christ rules over your inner dead and living states. Feel it real now by silently affirming, 'I am the Lord over all inner states,' and let a fresh sense of life rise.
