Inner King, New State Arises

Neville's Inner Vision

To the reader, this verse is not a record of time but a mirror of consciousness. Hezekiah sleeping with his fathers signals the passing of an old state of awareness; the "I AM" that governed the previous scene withdraws its rule. Manasseh, his son, reigning in his stead, embodies the next dominant state of consciousness that now speaks through your life. The throne in Scripture is not a chair in a palace but the center of your self-belief—the ruling assumption you accept about your worth, your power, and your possibilities. When a king dies, a new king arises as you revise your sense of self. This is how the Kingdom of God grows within: not by outward conquest but by the inner succession of states, each more aligned with your true I AM. So if you feel the old rulers fading, welcome the heir of your awareness. Assume that Manasseh now reigns, that your next sense of self is already in place, guiding your decisions, feelings, and outcomes. Your reality will follow the sense you hold most consistently.
