Zephaniah 3: Inner Joy

Neville's Inner Vision

Within you is the I Am, the Lord in the midst, who removes judgments as you withdraw your belief in separation. When you repeat, 'The king of Israel, the Lord, is in the midst of me,' you acknowledge the inner sovereign who saves and rejoices over you with singing. The fear that once haunted Jerusalem falls away because your consciousness has found its center in love. Let your hands be slack—no longer clenched by anxiety—but open to the divine action taking place now. The mighty God within transforms every image of threat into a present, peaceful reality, and His joy over you becomes your experience of gratitude and ease. This is not future deliverance but the immediate conversion of your inner weather: safety, union, and rest in love. As you dwell there, you hear the heavenly song that marks your days. You are the city whose gates are open to the light; you are the place where God takes delight and where you discover what joy really means.
