Luke 10:17 Meaning The Seventy Returned with Joy

The devils that submit are states of unbelief, the inner voices that insist the wish cannot be, and they fall silent before the name. The name is I am, your own awareness of being, and nothing bends every state like the plain claim of what you now are. To use the name is to assume the feeling of the desired self directly, and the doubts that seemed to hold power over you lose it the moment that assumption is held.

The joy of the seventy is the joy of finding that inner powers obey. Yet their obedience is the smaller gift. What makes it work is the name itself, the I am within that is God, subjecting every fearful state to the identity you consent to wear. When you speak from I am, the whole crowd of contrary feelings answers to it, because they were never anything but states, and the one who names himself commands them all.
