Inside The Temple Of Prayer

Mark 11:17 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Mark 11 in context

Scripture Focus

17And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves.
Mark 11:17

Biblical Context

Jesus declares the temple should be a house of prayer for all nations, condemning its use as a den of thieves. The inner reading shows the temple as a state of consciousness you can reclaim.

Neville's Inner Vision

Do not think of stones and pews. In this reading, the I AM is your higher consciousness that can claim any space as sacred. When you affirm the temple as a house of prayer for all nations, you establish a continuous petition—attention turned toward the divine within, and life moves through you as feeling and image. Prayer becomes alignment, not begging; it is the steady attitude of awareness that allows every situation to be seen in light of wholeness. The den of thieves is the old, hungry mind that trades spirituality for outward results, the habit of greed, fear, and control pretending to satisfy you. Keep in mind that all nations speaks of every facet of your being; invite those facets into the temple as invited guests, not as commodities. The practice is to assume the state of that inner temple now; revise the belief that fulfillment comes through outer shows; feel it real that the I AM is your only source, and let gratitude and generosity be your daily offerings.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly and declare that the inner temple is the house of prayer for all nations. Imagine sweeping away the den of thieves with gratitude, until the space in you feels radiant and open.
