Inner Reign of the I AM

Neville's Inner Vision

What is the inner vision behind 2 Kings 16:1? The Judah of this verse is your inner kingdom; Pekah's year and Jotham's line are the old dispositions that held sway. The appearance of Ahaz as king is the rising I AM, the true ruler in consciousness, now ready to govern your life. The seventeenth year marks a completion, a season in which a previous structure yields to a higher order. When you accept that the I AM within you has become king, external conditions begin to respond to that inner state as provide evidence of sovereignty. It is not the past events that change you; it is your readiness to reign. You are free to identify with the ruler who rules from within, not with the worn-out narratives of fear or limitation. In this light, the verse invites you to claim authority, to align your attention with a permanent throne, and to see life rearrange itself to honor that sovereignty.
