Read 2 Kings 17 in context

Scripture Focus

35With whom the LORD had made a covenant, and charged them, saying, Ye shall not fear other gods, nor bow yourselves to them, nor serve them, nor sacrifice to them:

2 Kings 17:35

Biblical Context

The verse declares a covenant boundary: you shall not fear, bow to, serve, or sacrifice to other gods. It invites loyalty to the Lord's true order as the standard of worship.

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of 2 Kings 17:35 as a map of the inner landscape. The command comes not from space and time but from the I AM you embody—the covenant you live by in consciousness. When you fear 'other gods,' bow to them, or serve and sacrifice to them, you are lending your attention to counterfeit powers that pretend to rule your world. In Neville's language, these are states of consciousness you have identified with and accepted as real. The true God is the I AM within, the constant awareness that remains unchanged by appearances. The covenant is kept by refusing to identify with any idol of fear, limitation, or attachment. Your outer circumstances echo your inner loyalty; change the inner posture and the outer scene softens accordingly. The verse invites you to practice a relentless loyalty to your real self, not to the shifting weather of belief. Stay with the feeling that you are the I AM, and allow imagination to translate that faith into form.

Practice This Now

Assume the state now: I am in covenant with the I AM. Feel loyal to your true self and revise fear as a false idol; then imagine day-to-day life expressing that self-loyalty.
