Inner Temple Of Divine Presence
1 Kings 6:12-13 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Kings 6 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The passage promises that if the house you are building abides by God's statutes and commandments, God will fulfill His word and dwell among His people.
Neville's Inner Vision
Viewed through Neville's imagination-vision, this promise is not about a stone house but a state of consciousness. The 'house' you are in is your mind, the 'statutes' and 'judgments' are the steady alignments of thought and feeling you commit to in daily life. When you decide to walk in that light—consistently choosing truth, integrity, and love—you are not petitioning an outside God; you are aligning your I AM with the divine pattern. The 'I will dwell among' becomes: your awareness settles as the constant Presence within, and the sense of separation fades as you keep faith with your own inner law. The conditional 'if' points to the power of assumption: imagine yourself already living in that temple, conditioned by divine order, and you will discover that the Presence is not distant but resident in your very being. Your imagination becomes the blueprint; your feeling evokes the reality; and practice daily keeps the temple intact.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume the state: 'I am the dwelling place of God now.' Rehearse silently, 'I walk in divine statutes, and God is present in me,' and feel the Presence settling into your mind as you breathe.
