The Inner Temple Of God

1 Kings 9:3 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 1 Kings 9 in context

Scripture Focus

3And the LORD said unto him, I have heard thy prayer and thy supplication, that thou hast made before me: I have hallowed this house, which thou hast built, to put my name there for ever; and mine eyes and mine heart shall be there perpetually.
1 Kings 9:3

Biblical Context

God informs Solomon that He has heard the prayer and hollowed the house to bear His name forever, with His eyes and heart there perpetually, signaling the inner, enduring presence of God within consciousness.

Neville's Inner Vision

In the Neville lens, this verse reveals that the temple is not a stone building but the state of your awareness. The house is hallowed so that God s name rests there forever, which means you anchor a fixed identity in the I AM—the divine self you consistently acknowledge. “Mine eyes and mine heart shall be there perpetually” becomes a vow you make to keep your attention and affection fixed on the indwelling Presence. When you treat your inner sanctuary as sacred and present, you enact the covenant: God is not somewhere apart but within your own consciousness. Your prayers are answered the moment you assume the perfect state that already exists—that the temple is holy and that the divine presence is watching through your eyes and feeling through your heart. Practice this constantly: dwell in the awareness that the I AM is always here, and the world will reflect the solidity of that inner house.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and declare I AM within me; imagine a sanctified inner temple and feel the divine gaze and heart abiding there, then rest in that lasting presence for a few breaths.
