Read 2 Chronicles 15 in context

Scripture Focus

8And when Asa heard these words, and the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he took courage, and put away the abominable idols out of all the land of Judah and Benjamin, and out of the cities which he had taken from mount Ephraim, and renewed the altar of the LORD, that was before the porch of the LORD.

2 Chronicles 15:8

Biblical Context

Asa responds to Oded's prophecy by removing the idols from Judah and Benjamin and renewing the LORD's altar, signaling a decisive turn toward true worship.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this verse, the scene is a state of consciousness, not a history. Oded's prophecy is the precise word that awakens the I AM within Asa. When he 'took courage,' he makes a new inner assumption—that idols are nothing to fear and nothing to rule him. The 'land of Judah and Benjamin' becomes the field of your own awareness, and the idols are beliefs that have claimed authority. By removing them, you are choosing a different state of consciousness, one that honors the I AM above every picture of lack or limitation. The renewal of the altar, set 'before the porch of the LORD,' is the mind's act of restoring its shrine: replace shifting images with the living presence of God as awareness. True worship follows inner alignment rather than outward ritual. As you dwell in this new state, life will begin to reflect it—courage, clarity, and a renewed sense of allegiance to the I AM, your eternal governor.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the feeling: I AM the authority of your life; remove every idol of fear from your mind and visualize the inner altar being renewed.
