Read 1 Kings 18 in context

Scripture Focus

40And Elijah said unto them, Take the prophets of Baal; let not one of them escape. And they took them: and Elijah brought them down to the brook Kishon, and slew them there.

1 Kings 18:40

Biblical Context

Elijah confronts the prophets of Baal, commanding their capture and execution at the brook Kishon, a decisive act of divine judgment on idolatry. The scene affirms the victory of true worship over false beliefs.

Neville's Inner Vision

Elijah is the I AM in you, rising to confront every Baal rescue of fear in your mind. The prophets of Baal are the false images you have allowed to rule your inner worship. When Elijah commands, 'let not one escape,' he teaches that no belief of power apart from the I AM can remain unexposed to the light of awareness. The brook Kishon becomes your cleansing stream, where attention flows and carries away the idols, not as an external massacre but as a dissolution of images by the fire of your imagination. The act of slaying is the inner decision to stop feeding the illusion with attention and to stand in the certainty that the true worship of God is consciousness itself. As you affirm your I AM and refuse to capitulate to fear or lack, you find the old gods sinking in the stream under the heat of awareness, leaving you free to inhabit the truth that you are one with the living God.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and declare, 'I AM is the power now dissolving every idol.' Visualize the false beliefs being led to a cleansing Kishon stream and dissolved by the fire of awareness; affirm that only the I AM remains in worship.
