The Inner Temple Awakening
1 Kings 3:2 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Kings 3 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Without a physical temple, people sacrificed on high places. The verse signals worship as an outer form awaiting the inner dwelling.
Neville's Inner Vision
Imagine the house of the LORD as your inner state. In 1 Kings 3:2, the people sacrificed on high places because there was no house built to the LORD's name; where there is no temple, worship remains an outer ritual. Neville teaches that God is the I AM, the awareness that makes imagination real. To build the temple, you do not first fix the outer world but assume an inner truth: I am the temple; the LORD dwells within me now. As you sustain that presence, the outer life aligns with the inner sanctuary; the high places fall away as the inner center takes residence. In your sense of lack you are being invited to revise, to awaken to consciousness as the house rather than its scenery. The dream of the king or the dream of power becomes insight and discernment as you inhabit the inner temple. When you live from this assumed reality, the presence of God becomes your everyday fact, not a distant hope.
Practice This Now
Assume the inner state now: I am the temple; the LORD dwells within me. Feel that presence until it is your baseline.
