Asa's Prayer, Inner Victory

2 Chronicles 14:11-15 - 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.
14And they smote all the cities round about Gerar; for the fear of the LORD came upon them: and they spoiled all the cities; for there was exceeding much spoil in them.
15They smote also the tents of cattle, and carried away sheep and camels in abundance, and returned to Jerusalem.
2 Chronicles 14:11-15

Biblical Context

Asa prays to the LORD, acknowledging God as ally; he rests on Him and moves forward with courage. The LORD defeats the Ethiopians, they flee, and the cities and flocks are brought under the reverent fear of the LORD, yielding great spoil to Judah.

Neville's Inner Vision

This narrative is a naked map of your inner state. Asa’s cry, 'LORD, it is nothing with thee to help,' is your admission that the I AM within can overcome any odds. When you rest on the I AM and proceed in the name of your true self, you align your inner consciousness with an irresistible power. The Lord striking the Ethiopians before Asa symbolizes how your entrenched beliefs of lack dissolve when confronted by unwavering trust. The pursuit and spoil signal that once your inner alignment is established, circumstances bend to furnish the fulfillment you expect. The fear that comes upon the cities represents the weather of your mind under siege; with true inner conviction, that weather clears and the external scene shows abundance. The entire account teaches that victory and security are not earned by human effort alone but manifested by a consciousness that recognizes and walks in the I AM, letting imagination join with action to realize harmony and bounty in your life.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly, repeat 'I rest on the LORD; I am the I AM,' and visualize yourself marching against a multitude with unwavering trust, then see the spoils of supply and calm peace flowing into your life as a natural outcome of inner alignment.
