Inner Kingship in 2 Kings

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the inner kingdom, the old king's death is a door opening, not a defeat. Azariah, the sixteen-year-old king, stands for a fresh, unconditioned consciousness taking the throne of your mind. The chariots bearing him are the swift movements of imagination under a decisive inner 'Yes.' His burial in Jerusalem signals the deliberate release of the former self so that this new sovereignty may live in the City of David—a place where the I AM dwells. The people crowning him are the inner thoughts that assent to a higher order. This is the Kingdom of God: sovereignty established within, not granted from without. Realize that the outer succession is but a mirror of your inner decree: I reign now as the king within my inner Jerusalem. When you assume this, your focus migrates from history to present awareness, and you feel the intellectual and emotional weather shift to support the new ruler.
