Inner Altar Fire From Heaven

Neville's Inner Vision

In this passage the altar is the inner focal point of your consciousness, the I AM where you place your deepest offerings. When David calls upon the LORD, you are turning your attention to the divine presence within you. The fire that falls on the altar represents the felt realization that your assumption has been acknowledged by your higher self; it is the inner confirmation that your belief is alive and operative. The angel with the drawn sword stands for the old conditions and fears that threaten your current image; mercy sheathes the sword when your inner state aligns with the divine pattern. There is no separation between petition and answer; the fire is the sign that your inner state has shifted and is now expressing itself through your circumstances. Thus, true worship is the conscious alignment of desire with I AM awareness, producing outward events that reflect a reconciled, merciful being.
