2 Chronicles 20:3-5

Biblical Context

Jehoshaphat fears, proclaims a fast, gathers all Judah to seek help from the LORD, and stands publicly in the LORD's house.

Neville's Inner Vision

Fear in the text is not a verdict but a signal of your current state of consciousness. Jehoshaphat's response set himself to seek the LORD is the practical decision to assume the I AM as your center, the awareness that you are. The fast is not only abstention from food but a deliberate narrowing of attention, quieting outer chatter so the inner voice can govern. When Jehoshaphat gathers to ask help of the LORD, the many aspects of self faith humility petition unity assemble in one court of consciousness, in one mind about one intention. Jehoshaphat standing in the congregation in the house of the LORD is you standing in your own temple, recognizing that the LORD is present within the new court of your awareness. Through this inner alignment, the apparent threat recedes as the I AM asserts its primacy. The verse invites you to notice that all action begins in the inner stillness; by creating this inner fast and gathering your faculties, you stand already where the solution resides: in the consciousness that you are God in expression.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit in quiet and declare that you are the I AM, choosing a mental fast from fear for five minutes. Then picture yourself standing with all your inner faculties in the temple of your mind, seeking guidance from within.
