Inner Porters of the Temple
1 Chronicles 26:1-12 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Chronicles 26 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verses enumerate divisions of temple porters and leaders, showing a disciplined structure serving the house of the LORD. Names and ranks symbolize orderly inner faculties.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within the inner temple of your awareness, the divisions of the porters are not external guards but the array of your faculties standing at their posts. Meshelemiah, Obededom, and Hosah symbolize stable alignments of attention, memory, gratitude, and intention, each with a lineage of strength. When you refuse to let one fear or desire flood the sacred space, you appoint orderly wards one against another, so that no movement invades the sanctuary without consent. The phrase mighty men of valour becomes your inner powers called to valor in maintaining reverent worship of your I AM, your present awareness. The blessing for God blessed him indicates that when you align these divisions with a genuine motive worshiping the Lord within, you attract concord that makes the inner house function. The house of the LORD stands when your consciousness exercises service, unity, and obedience. The divisions are not factions but synchronized departments, each guarding a facet of your life: focus, loyalty, healing, gratitude, and unity. This is how you build a temple not made with hands but with conscious choice and persistent inner ritual.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and affirm that you are the keeper of a well-ordered inner sanctuary; visualize porters at their posts, gates aligned with gratitude, faith, and unity. Feel the inner divisions working in harmony now, guarding your awareness as you worship the I AM within.
