Inner Temple Stewardship
2 Kings 12:4-14 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Kings 12 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Jehoash commands that temple offerings be used to repair breaches in the LORD’s house. The money is carefully counted, overseen by the scribe, and given to builders to restore the sanctuary.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within Neville's voice: The temple is not stones but a state of consciousness. The breaches you see in your inner house are gaps between belief and living. The dedicated money is your focused attention—every thought, feeling, and motive you willingly place in the service of the inner sanctuary. When you notice a leak—an inconsistency between what you say you are and how you act—the impulse in the story to withhold and redirect money becomes a symbol: you reclaim the treasury and send it to the builders who restore function. Jehoiada’s oversight mirrors your inner watchman: guard what you value, and apply it to constructive work rather than flashy vessels. The absence of ornamental vessels suggests the fullness of life comes from right use of energy, not from outward display. As you align your inner purposes with honest service, resources begin to flow to the work of repair. The house of the LORD becomes your living demonstration that imagination, rightly directed, becomes reality, and the seemingly scarce are turned into the foundation for presence.
Practice This Now
Imaginative_act: Sit quietly, place your hand over your chest, and imagine a chest there. Deposit a symbol of your attention into it (a coin, a light) and see the builders repair the breaches within. Then affirm, 'I am the temple; my awareness funds its repair.'
