Read 2 Chronicles 6 in context

Scripture Focus

12And he stood before the altar of the LORD in the presence of all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands:

13For Solomon had made a brasen scaffold of five cubits long, and five cubits broad, and three cubits high, and had set it in the midst of the court: and upon it he stood, and kneeled down upon his knees before all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven,

2 Chronicles 6:12-13

Biblical Context

Solomon stands before the LORD's altar with all Israel, lifting his hands toward heaven as he prays; a brass scaffold stands as the platform from which he embodies reverent petition.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within you, the scene unfolds as a drama of consciousness. The congregation becomes your awakened thoughts; the altar is the focal point of awareness—the I AM you are. The brass scaffold marks the mental form you erect to approach that awareness with intention; though it is a public moment, its power lies in your private commitment to a state. When you stand and kneel, with hands spread toward heaven, you are not asking for something outside you; you are aligning your entire being with the truth that God is within and everywhere present. The prayer is the act of assuming the state: you imagine yourself as the consciousness that holds all creation, and your petition becomes a declaration of what is already true in you. Practice daily by revising any absence into presence, seeing your world as the outward sign of your inner posture. So, the ritual of rising, kneeling, and lifting hands becomes a discipline of self-remembering: you are the temple; you are the I AM.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, place yourself before an inner altar, and lift your hands toward heaven. Declare I AM is your presence and feel it real in this moment.
