Inner Altar Under Outer Command

Read 2 Kings 16 in context

Scripture Focus

11And Urijah the priest built an altar according to all that king Ahaz had sent from Damascus: so Urijah the priest made it against king Ahaz came from Damascus.
2 Kings 16:11

Biblical Context

2 Kings 16:11 shows Uriah the priest building an altar exactly as Ahaz commanded from Damascus, illustrating obedience to outward influence rather than inner truth.

Neville's Inner Vision

Observe Uriah the priest building an altar exactly as the Damascus command prescribes. This scene is a mirror of your own mind when you yield to outer authorities rather than consulting the I AM within. Your temple is not guided by outside power, but by the consciousness you assume to be ruler. The altar represents a state of worship you have accepted as real; if you follow the Damascus decree, you are allowing a foreign influence to govern your inner life. Yet you are the creator of your inner sanctuary; by imagining the I AM as the true builder you can revise the altar into a symbol of true worship. Imagination is the craftsman; awareness the material; and your state of consciousness determines what is erected in your heart. Do not fear the external voice; affirm your sovereignty and watch the outer world align to your inner decree. When you reimagine the altar as a product of your own I AM, the sense of obedience shifts from fear to faith, and the outward sign becomes a faithful reflection of your inner truth.

Practice This Now

Practice: close your eyes, breathe, and revise the Damascus altar by affirming I am the I AM; this temple is governed by my inner decree. Feel that sovereignty as real for several breaths.
