Neville's Inner Vision

Zechariah’s scene is a map of your inner geography. The 'King' is the I AM—the sovereign awareness that notices and creates. The nations that travel to Jerusalem are your scattered beliefs and feelings that decide to align with this central consciousness. The feast of tabernacles is the ongoing practice of dwelling in a temporary body while living as if you are inside the Kingdom. When you neglect this inner worship, rain—the vitality and blessings of life—withdraws. But when you choose the King within and persist in that worship, you invite the rain of blessings, clarity, and energy into your world. The prophecy becomes an instruction: return to your inner temple, claim your sovereignty, and trust that outside conditions mirror your inner state.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Assume the King within now; silently declare, 'I AM the King in me.' Feel the rain of blessing as you rest in that awareness for a minute, then carry it into the day.
