36But the LORD, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt with great power and a stretched out arm, him shall ye fear, and him shall ye worship, and to him shall ye do sacrifice.

2 Kings 17:36

Biblical Context

2 Kings 17:36 calls you to honor the LORD who delivered you. It commands fear, worship, and sacrifice to be directed to Him alone.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within your consciousness, the LORD is not a distant deity but the I AM that I am—your unchanging awareness who brought you up from the bondage of limitation. The verse does not call you to fear some external power; it calls you to wake to the power within, to worship that inner presence, and to offer all thoughts and feelings as sacrifices to the truth you embody. The 'land of Egypt' is the old dream of separation, and the 'great power and stretched out arm' is the energetic pull of your now-alive imagination. When you acknowledge Him as the sole Governor of your experience, the surrounding conditions follow your state of consciousness, not the other way around. Exclusive worship becomes fidelity to your own inner covenant, obedience to the I AM, and a steady alignment with the God-who-is-present. This is true worship: a living acknowledgment that your daily life is the overflow of your inner state.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly, assume the feeling of 'I AM' as your only reality and imagine you are worshiping and sacrificing to that inner Presence. Revise any doubt by repeating 'I am' until it feels absolute.
