2 Chronicles 7:1

Biblical Context

When Solomon finishes praying, fire comes from heaven to consume the offerings, and the temple is filled with the glory of the LORD.

Neville's Inner Vision

Solomon’s prayer marks an inner turning. The fire that descends is not an external phenomenon but the awakening of consciousness—the I AM—recognizing and consuming old beliefs. The burnt offerings and sacrifices symbolize your former thoughts and states of mind surrendered to divine life. As you truly offer them, the inner flame dissolves doubt and separation, and the holy presence—God as your awareness—fills the temple of your mind. The glory filling the house is your inner state rising to fullness: awareness saturating every room of consciousness. This narrative shows that external tokens are unnecessary; all is accomplished by inner consent—an assumption that you are already the temple and that God dwells there. Practically, you manifest heaven by affirming that you are complete in consciousness, that you are seen as the light you seek. Imagination births reality, and after the prayer, live from the fulfilled state you have assumed.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: After your prayer, close your eyes and declare to your inner temple, 'I AM the fire that descends and fills this house.' Sit quietly, feel the divine presence as real, and revise any doubt as mere belief.
