Name and Praise Within

Neville's Inner Vision

In this verse, the gathering and restoration are not merely external events but a shift in your own consciousness. God, the I AM, turns back your captivity by reimagining your sense of self: you are no longer the captive to lack, doubt, or fear, but the one named and acclaimed by all of life. When you silently affirm 'I am the name and praise among the earth,' you awaken to the truth that recognition in the world is the echo of your inner state. The moment you accept your true identity as already restored—present, here and now—circumstances begin rearranging to reflect that inward victory. The discipline is not to seek approval, but to become the approved image in imagination, feeling the liberty as a lived fact. As you persist, the 'gathering' occurs within: disparate pieces of life align, and the outward scene bears witness to inner restoration. This is how captivity is turned back before your eyes, by you believing and dwelling in your true I AM.
