Inner Reign Awakens: 2 Kings 17:1

Neville's Inner Vision

Verse 17:1 portrays a new ruler of Samaria, yet the real drama is inner. In Neville’s perspective, Hoshea’s ascent represents a sovereign state arising within your own consciousness—the part of you that governs thought, feeling, and memory. Samaria stands for the central field where your mental dramas play out; Israel is the total I AM aware within you. Ahaz, the king of Judah, embodies an old fear-based condition clinging to the past and fearing the loss of control. When you hear that Hoshea began to reign, you are reminded that God, the I AM, dwells as the ruler of your inner landscape, not somewhere outside. The nine years of reign signal a steady, persistent aligning of attention with the truth of your ruling power. As you assume this inner government, you do not conquer others but simplify and harmonize your atmosphere of thoughts. Imagination becomes the throne room; consciousness the sovereign ruler. With such an inner reign in place, your life begins to synchronize with the sense of abundance, order, and peace that springs from the I AM, here and now.
