Neville Goddard on 2 Chronicles 12:13-14 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Chronicles 12 in context

Scripture Focus

13So king Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem, and reigned: for Rehoboam was one and forty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the LORD had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there. And his mother's name was Naamah an Ammonitess.

14And he did evil, because he prepared not his heart to seek the LORD.

2 Chronicles 12:13-14

Biblical Context

He strengthened himself outwardly in Jerusalem, yet his heart did not seek the LORD. His reign was marked by that inner misalignment, leading to evil.

Neville's Inner Vision

You are the I AM perceiving a kingdom inside. Rehoboam’s outward fortifications symbolize the urge to fix the world from without while neglecting the living LORD within the center of your awareness. The line that the LORD chose Jerusalem for His name speaks that God’s presence rests in your innermost consciousness. When you do not fix your heart to seek that LORD, your reign—your decisions, habits, and life—will be ruled by fear, self-will, and misalignment. The cure is to shift focus from external power to inner alignment: declare I AM, and revise your state until the heart willingly seeks the divine. Imagine ruling from the inner city where the LORD resides, and let your choices reflect that alignment. By choosing the inner seek, your outward life begins to mirror divine order rather than human ambition, and your authority becomes a true expression of the I AM within you.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: For five minutes, assume the LORD is seated within your heart as your sole authority; softly repeat 'I AM' and feel the inner city restored to harmony as your next decision aligns with that inner seeking.
