Jeroboam's Inner Idols

Neville's Inner Vision

This text speaks not of a distant king, but of a state of consciousness within you. When you appoint 'priests' from the crowd—the habit of fear, gossip, or outward show—to preside in your temple, you are enacting a high place worship in the mind. You replace the I AM, your true Lord, with substitutes, and that substitution is defined as sin because it diverts life from its divine pattern. The 'house of Jeroboam' is your inner life and its outward expressions; if you persist in these impostors, the inner authority weakens, and the outer circumstances may seem to decay or 'be cut off.' Yet the remedy is simple: return to the inner sanctuary and acknowledge the I AM within as sovereign. See the priests you have trusted—your thoughts and feelings—as mere beliefs you have allowed to minister to you. In this light, the command to reform becomes a call to alignment: imagine you are the one consciousness, the sole priest of your temple, and feel the truth that true worship now shapes every moment.
