Temple Within: Divine Prosperity

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through the Lord's be-with-you as an I AM declaration, this verse is not about a distant temple but the state of your own consciousness. The son stands for your own sense of self, and 'the LORD be with thee' is your immediate assurance that your awareness is attended by power. To prosper thou and build the house of the LORD thy God means you are to cultivate an inner workshop where true worship is performed through steady assumption and lived conviction. The covenant loyalty shows up as persistent attention—refusing to doubt after you have decided, returning to the feeling of completion whenever fear arises. The temple you build is the inner state of gratitude, integrity, and creative action from which outward forms flow. When you dwell in that inner presence, you discover that prosperity is the natural result of aligning with your decree and acting from the end you desire. The decree 'as he hath said of thee' becomes your personal affirmation that what you imagine is already established in consciousness and ready to express as form.
