Scripture Focus

2 Chronicles 27:9

Biblical Context

Jotham dies and is buried in the City of David, and his son Ahaz begins to reign.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the record, Jotham's sleep is not death, but a turning of consciousness. The City of David stands for the place of awareness within you where every ruling thought is born. When Jotham rests with his fathers and Ahaz begins to reign, you are being shown that a new state of consciousness has entered your life. The I AM, the indwelling awareness, now asserts a fresh sovereignty; the old king passes, the new reign takes its seat in your inner city. Do not look to external courtiers; look to the movement of belief within. The narrative invites you to revise the scene until it feels inevitable that the new reign is established by your own conviction. The 'burial' indicates releasing the old identity—your past limitations laid to rest in the ground you previously walked. The 'City of David' is the sanctuary of your awareness; the throne is your present sense of power. As you assume the feeling of Ahaz's reign—courageous, prudent, new—you awaken to a life that reflects your now-unified I AM.

Practice This Now

Practice tonight: fall asleep assuming the feeling that a new reign has begun within you. Silently affirm, I AM the King in my inner city, and picture Ahaz seated on the throne as the symbol of your newly claimed state.
