Inner Battle, Outer Victory

2 Chronicles 14:11-13 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 2 Chronicles 14 in context

Scripture Focus

11And Asa cried unto the LORD his God, and said, LORD, it is nothing with thee to help, whether with many, or with them that have no power: help us, O LORD our God; for we rest on thee, and in thy name we go against this multitude. O LORD, thou art our God; let not man prevail against thee.
12So the LORD smote the Ethiopians before Asa, and before Judah; and the Ethiopians fled.
13And Asa and the people that were with him pursued them unto Gerar: and the Ethiopians were overthrown, that they could not recover themselves; for they were destroyed before the LORD, and before his host; and they carried away very much spoil.
2 Chronicles 14:11-13

Biblical Context

Asa prays to the LORD, acknowledging God's power and their reliance on Him, then goes forth in God's name; the Lord defeats the Ethiopians, and Asa and the people pursue them.

Neville's Inner Vision

To read 2 Chronicles 14:11–13 through the Neville lens, notice that Asa’s cry is not a plea to a distant deity but a turning of attention to the I AM that you are. He asserts, in inner truth, that it is nothing for the all-powerful to help, whether by many or those who have no power—the external odds vanish before a settled state of consciousness. The line 'we rest on thee, and in thy name we go against this multitude' marks a deliberate shift: rest in God, identify with the I AM, and act from that divine posture. When you declare 'O LORD, thou art our God,' you are affirming that your entire being rests in one infinite Presence. Then the outer victory—the smiting of the Ethiopians and the pursuit to Gerar—unfolds as the natural expression of inner alignment. The seeming siege dissolves because awareness, not force, does the work. You are shown that enemies vanish where you stand as one with the Source. This is not coercion but re-empowered being: trust, decisive action, and the knowing that the cause (God within) is the effect (your life and its victories).

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Close your eyes and assume the state: I rest on God; I go forward in the name of I AM. Feel the victory right now, and carry that certainty into any looming challenge.
