The Inner House of God
2 Chronicles 2:6 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Chronicles 2 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse acknowledges that God is greater than any temple ever built, prompting humility about human limits; it contrasts the idea of building a dwelling for God with the recognition that true worship arises from inner consciousness rather than mere structures.
Neville's Inner Vision
In the psychological lens, the text reveals that God cannot be contained by any external house, for heaven itself trembles before the I AM. Your true task is not to erect a stone temple, but to awaken as the state of awareness that God already dwells within. When Solomon asks, “who am I then, that I should build him a house,” the message is not a denial of service but a reminder that the only real temple is the one fashioned by your imagination. The “house” you are invited to build is the steady assumption of being as the I AM—an inner sanctuary where divinity is recognized as your immediate reality, not a distant shrine. The line about burning sacrifices points to devotion as an inner offering: release old identifications and align your heart with the fact that you are the living temple. By recognizing that space cannot contain God, you shift attention from external constructions to the inner act of conscious presence. Your world is the reflection of the state you inhabit; choose a state that invites God to dwell within you now.
Practice This Now
Assume the state: I AM within me the house of God. Sit quietly, declare it, and feel the presence filling your inner temple as reality here and now.
