Inner Purge, Outer Faith

2 Chronicles 15:16-17 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 2 Chronicles 15 in context

Scripture Focus

16And also concerning Maachah the mother of Asa the king, he removed her from being queen, because she had made an idol in a grove: and Asa cut down her idol, and stamped it, and burnt it at the brook Kidron.
17But the high places were not taken away out of Israel: nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect all his days.
2 Chronicles 15:16-17

Biblical Context

Asa removes Maachah from queenly status and destroys her idol, but the high places remain; still, his heart is faithful all his days.

Neville's Inner Vision

In this text, the outward acts are mirrors of an inner shift. Maachah’s idol represents a belief or desire you have allowed to rule your inner throne. By removing her from queenly power, stamping the idol, and burning it at the brook Kidron, you enact a cleansing of a specific false worship within consciousness. Yet the lingering high places symbolize the stubborn habitual thoughts and patterns you have not yet eradicated. The surprising and liberating note is that the heart being described as 'perfect' refers to the inner alignment with the I AM—the unchanging, aware principle. When you revise a belief and feel it as real, the outer details can stay imperfect for a time, but your inner state—your consciousness—shifts toward wholeness. The lesson: true worship is an inner decision, and imagination is the instrument by which reality is re-scripted, even if external forms lag behind.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and identify a belief or habit that has acted like a throne idol. In your mind, remove its power, stamp it flat, and burn it away at the brook Kidron. Then claim, 'My heart is perfect all my days,' and dwell in the feeling that the I AM within is unaltered and complete.
