Inner Purification for Worship

Neville's Inner Vision

2 Chronicles 30:3 speaks of a time when the Passover could not be kept because the priests had not sanctified themselves, nor the people gathered in Jerusalem. In Neville's lens, this speaks not to a calendar event but to the state of consciousness. The priests are the dominant thoughts and habits; sanctification is the discipline of your inner self—purifying motive, attention, and feeling. The gathering in Jerusalem is the alignment of your entire being toward sacred purpose, the unification of inner and outer where a feast of life can occur. When sanctification is missing, your inner temple resists the outer order; the external event cannot harmonize with inner truth. Thus the verse becomes a practical reminder: you must revise your state before you can keep the higher law. See Jerusalem as your center of awareness and the priests as the stories you tell yourself. By choosing a sanctified thought, you clear space for alignment, and the ordinary day becomes the holy day you already claim in imagination. The call is to live from the end, not from lack, until your inner priesthood is intact and your gathered heart is ready to receive.
