Neville’s Reading in All Things Are Possible 1

Neville’s Reading in Assumptions Harden Into Facts

"except ye believe that I AM He ye die in your sins."

To 'die in your sins' means to remain in a state of unawareness and limitation, failing to recognize and embody your true divine identity as 'I Am.' It is a spiritual death of potential.

Neville’s Reading in Family Portrait

To "die in your sins" means to miss the mark, which occurs if one fails to believe that their own "I AM" (consciousness, imagination) is the divine "He," the true Christ.

As we are told, “Unless you believe that I am he, you die in your sins,” (John 8:24) unless you believe that I AM is He, you die in your sins.

Practical Reflection

• Cultivate unwavering faith in your divine 'I AM' nature to overcome limitations and fulfill your desires, avoiding the 'sin' of unbelief in self.
• To achieve goals and overcome limitations, one must realize and affirm their divine identity as 'I am He'.
• Stop desiring and start believing "I AM" the desired state to avoid remaining in a state of unfulfillment.
• Consciously identify with the 'I Am' within you, recognizing that your awareness is God. This belief is essential for transcending limitations and manifesting your desires.
