Read Romans 9 in context

Scripture Focus

23And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory,

Romans 9:23

Biblical Context

This verse says God reveals the riches of glory through vessels prepared for mercy. In plain terms, inner readiness and mercy open the fullness of divine presence.

Neville's Inner Vision

From the Neville lens, the 'vessels of mercy' are inner states of consciousness, not external persons. God is the I AM within you, and the 'riches of his glory' are the abundant energy of awareness that emerges when mercy governs your thoughts. 'Afore prepared unto glory' signals that your inner climate—your beliefs, feelings, and preferences—has already been arranged for grace to enter. When you stop resisting, and deliberately dwell in the feeling that you are beloved, guided, and supported by an ever-present Presence, the outer world begins to reflect that inner arrangement as if by design. The verse invites you to let mercy lead the way, soften judgment, choose compassion, and trust the process of inner alignment. Glory appears not by effort but by the right state of consciousness, maintained with steady attention to the I AM. You are not pleading for mercy; you are becoming its vessel, and the riches of glory are the natural expression of that continued realization.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Sit quietly and declare, 'I am a vessel of mercy, prepared unto glory,' then feel the presence of I AM filling you; repeat until the sense of allowance becomes natural.
