From Fasts to Feasts of Joy

Neville's Inner Vision

Within your own consciousness, the four days of fasting and denial are not punishments at all but signals of your inner alignment. Zechariah invokes a shift: what was once a calendar of constraint becomes a calendar of joy when truth and peace inhabit your I AM presence. The LORD of hosts stands as your awareness, and the events—fasts, feasts, and all—are all movements of that awareness. When you stop making yourself small, when you claim that you live in truth and in peace right now, those fasting days dissolve into cheerful feasts, simply because your inner state has changed. The house of Judah—your own mind—receives the truth and the peace as gifts, and the external world mirrors that feast in due season. Your imagination becomes the calendar; your feelings become the menu. As you dwell in the certainty that you are the I AM aware of, you align with the condition of abundance, joy, and harmony. The fast is the sign you once used to control, virtue is the state you now inhabit, and so the outward becomes revelatory of your inner feast.
