Inner Cleansing of Idols
2 Chronicles 15:16 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Chronicles 15 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Asa removes Maachah, the king’s mother, from her queenly role because she made an idol. He cuts down the idol, stamps it, and burns it at the brook Kidron.
Neville's Inner Vision
Maachah stands as a symbol of the conditioning that sits in the subconscious, a mother-state of loyalty to familiar idols. The royal position she holds represents the governing pattern of consciousness that has ruled thoughts and emotions. The idol in a grove is a belief image planted in the garden of memory, an attachment powered by old feelings. Asa’s act of removing her from the throne mirrors the I AM dethroning a long-cherished assumption and reassigning the ruler’s authority to Presence itself. The stamping of the idol is the deliberate rejection of the imagined power of that belief; the burning at Kidron is the cleansing release of emotional charge by the flame of awareness. In this inner drama, the grove becomes the hidden field of memory where you confront the image you have worshipped. The result is a purified state, a return to true worship, where present awareness creates reality. The outward order follows the inward alignment, as your life reflects the cleared state of consciousness.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and affirm I AM the ruler of my consciousness. Visualize Maachah stepping down from the throne, stamp the idol in the grove, and watch it burn at the brook Kidron; feel the release and the newborn clarity taking its place.
