Temple Within Ezra 5:11

Neville's Inner Vision

Ezra 5:11 speaks not of distant decree but of consciousness naming itself as servant to the God within and without. The God of heaven and earth is the I AM that fills all inner space; to serve Him is to align your attention with that limitless awareness. The house that was builded is the temple of your own mind, a state of worship formed by steady imagination rather than outer circumstance. The builders’ reference to a great king echoes the inner sovereignty you awaken when you refuse to surrender to lack and doubt. By this reading, the mission to build becomes a revision of your inner landscape: you imagine and inhabit a temple where presence is the natural fact, not a future event. In Neville’s terms, you are not dragging bricks; you are choosing a state of consciousness in which God and you are one, and your activity is the outward demonstration of that unity. The moment you accept yourself as the servant of God, the inner temple rises and your external world begins to answer from that already-real state.
