Read 1 Kings 18 in context

Scripture Focus

36And it came to pass at the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that Elijah the prophet came near, and said, LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, let it be known this day that thou art God in Israel, and that I am thy servant, and that I have done all these things at thy word.

37Hear me, O LORD, hear me, that this people may know that thou art the LORD God, and that thou hast turned their heart back again.

1 Kings 18:36-37

Biblical Context

Elijah prays to prove God is Lord and that he acts by God's word. He asks that the people's hearts be turned back to God.

Neville's Inner Vision

Picture the scene inside your own mind: Elijah is a steadfast state of faith stepping forward at the inner altar of your evening sacrifice. He proclaims that the LORD is God in Israel and that he has done all things by God's word. This is not a history lesson but a demonstration of consciousness: when you say, 'Hear me,' you are aligning with the I AM within you, the awareness that can turn a scattered heart back to truth. The multitude of thoughts and conditions in you is the people; their turning back signifies the revival of faith to the divine order in your life. By surrendering to the end—God as Lord, you as the servant of His word—you experience the inward turning that makes the outer scene bear witness to your inner decree. The practice is a practical act of assumption: present the end as already real, and let your life conform to that truth.

Practice This Now

Tonight, close your eyes and repeat, 'I am the Lord God of my life; I am Thy servant, doing Thy word.' Then feel the truth of this assumption as a present reality and observe your circumstances shifting to reflect that inner alignment.
