Inner Strength and the Temple

Neville's Inner Vision

To the I AM within you, the line 'Thy God hath commanded thy strength' is not a distant decree but your own testimony of being. God, or your awareness, has already issued the command—so the work now is to hold, not to seek. 'Strengthen, O God, that which thou hast wrought for us' becomes a revision of your state: reinforce the finished pattern, renew your certainty, and feel the vitality of the thing you have imagined growing into form. The temple at Jerusalem signifies your inner sanctuary, the focused worship of attention where you refuse distraction and align with one end. When you dwell there with unwavering conviction, the outer world begins to move as if the royal court is arriving; 'kings bring presents unto thee' translates as circumstances, opportunities, and resources delivered to your state of consciousness. Nothing happens to you; everything happens within you, as you persist in the assumption that the end is already yours. Your job is to keep the feeling of inevitability until it has the feel of 'fact' in your nervous system; imagination becomes reality by the power you grant to your I AM.
