Nehemiah 3:22-28

Biblical Context

The verse describes priests and various groups repairing sections of the wall, each against their own house, in an orderly, communal effort to rebuild the city. The repairs stretch from the tower near the king's house to Ophel and the horse gate, symbolizing coordinated renewal across the whole community.

Neville's Inner Vision

The wall before Nehemiah stands as a map of your inner life. The workers—priests, Benjamites, Azariah, Binnui, Palal, and the others—are different states of consciousness each repairing a portion against their own house. When you purposefully repair your belief, you are choosing to align a segment of your mind with the I AM, the ever-present awareness. The turning of the wall and the towers mark your turning points in thought; movement from gate to gate mirrors how attention shifts yet remains held within Providence. The Nethinims dwelling by Ophel remind you that service of memory supports the whole structure. The unity of effort shows renewal is not a single act but a cooperative act of many aspects of self, guided by imagination. Your inner city is renewed as you dwell in the feeling of the I AM and revise without contradiction. So the practical takeaway: let each brick of belief be reclaimed by awareness, and stand in the certainty that your life will follow the state you assume.

Practice This Now

Impose the assumption now: you are the builder of your inner wall. Feel it real that each belief you revise becomes a brick in a renewed, protected city.
