Neville's Inner Vision

In Neville's perspective, the 'word of the LORD' is the surge of awareness within you—the I AM speaking to itself. The 'fourth year' and 'ninth month' are not external dates but seasons of mind when you are ready to hear. The word arrives with a shift in consciousness, reorganizing your inner world first, then your outer life follows. Zechariah's reception becomes your reception: you are the vessel and the word is the living assertion of your true being. When you dwell in the sense of I AM, the inner voice quiets and you acknowledge it as real. The verse invites you to stop seeking permission outside; trusting the inward decree yields outward order rearranged to reflect it. The Word is not a distant message but awakening of consciousness to its boundless nature. Your daily life becomes the timing, place, and response of this inner communication.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Sit quietly and assume the Word has already spoken to you today. Feel it as the reality you inhabit; repeat 'I AM' until the inner conviction shines into your outer conditions.
