Scripture Focus

16Now therefore, O LORD God of Israel, keep with thy servant David my father that which thou hast promised him, saying, There shall not fail thee a man in my sight to sit upon the throne of Israel; yet so that thy children take heed to their way to walk in my law, as thou hast walked before me.

17Now then, O LORD God of Israel, let thy word be verified, which thou hast spoken unto thy servant David.

2 Chronicles 6:16-17

Biblical Context

David asks God to keep his promise of an enduring throne, on the condition that his descendants walk in the Lord’s law.

Neville's Inner Vision

This prayer presents the throne as a state of consciousness governed by the I AM rather than a mere dynasty. The line 'walk in my law' invites you to cultivate a disciplined inner life—thoughts, choices, and feelings—so your inner pattern follows divine order. When you declare 'let thy word be verified,' you are choosing to inhabit the promise now, using imagination as the instrument of realization. In Neville's terms, the covenant is not earned but assumed; the basis of life is a constant fidelity to your I AM and to the inner law that never fails. Sit with the certainty that your own inner governor preserves a continuous leadership, provided you align with the law within. Sit with the certainty that your own inner governor preserves a continuous leadership, provided you align with the law within. Practice being the person who lives as if the promised authority is already yours, and the outer signs will follow from the inner state.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the feeling of the throne already held by your I AM. Persist in the revision and inner fidelity until you feel the promise as your present reality.
