Inner Banquet Banner of Love

Neville's Inner Vision

All of scripture, in the Neville fashion, is a state of consciousness. This verse invites you into the inner feast where you are already loved. When I say the I AM brought me to the banqueting house, I am describing the moment my awareness shifts into the presence of utter acceptance. The banner over me is love; that banner is not something outside of me but the very atmosphere of my inner life—the I AM’s light encircling me as protection and invitation. The banqueting house represents intimate communion with myself as God in imagination, a place where appetites and fears are quieted by the certainty that I am seen, cherished, and kept. As you dwell there, you may observe your outward world rearranging to reflect this inner order: a growing sense of grace, favor, and covenant fidelity becoming your habitual mood. The more you feel it as real now, the more your life conforms to that feast.
