Neville Goddard on 2 Chronicles 14:7-9 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Chronicles 14 in context

Scripture Focus

7Therefore he said unto Judah, Let us build these cities, and make about them walls, and towers, gates, and bars, while the land is yet before us; because we have sought the LORD our God, we have sought him, and he hath given us rest on every side. So they built and prospered.

8And Asa had an army of men that bare targets and spears, out of Judah three hundred thousand; and out of Benjamin, that bare shields and drew bows, two hundred and fourscore thousand: all these were mighty men of valour.

9And there came out against them Zerah the Ethiopian with an host of a thousand thousand, and three hundred chariots; and came unto Mareshah.

2 Chronicles 14:7-9

Biblical Context

Asa urged Judah to fortify cities because they sought the LORD, and God granted rest on every side, enabling prosperity. An Ethiopian host then confronted them.

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of this scene as a map of your inner state. The cities to be built are the conscious boundaries you erect in imagination, not walls of brick but thresholds of attention. Because you have sought the LORD, the I AM—the one awareness that you truly are—awakens, and rest comes on every side. The vast host spoken of in the text is not merely an external army; it is the clamor of fear, doubt, and limitation pressing upon your dream. When you acknowledge the Lord within as the ruler of all, you refuse to let lack dictate your life and you stand in the peace that is your birthright. Then your inner city prospers: plans align, resources reveal themselves, and the mind remains at ease even as appearances threaten. You become the man of valor not by struggle, but by resting in the truth you already are: I AM, the source and boundary of power. The outer conflict recedes as your inner state holds the line and your dream begins to manifest.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and picture a fortified city surrounding your life. Then softly affirm: I have sought the LORD and I rest on every side; I build walls of steadfast faith. Let that feeling of security fill you until it feels irreversible.
