Asa’s Inner Alliance

2 Chronicles 16:2-6 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 2 Chronicles 16 in context

Scripture Focus

2Then Asa brought out silver and gold out of the treasures of the house of the LORD and of the king's house, and sent to Benhadad king of Syria, that dwelt at Damascus, saying,
3There is a league between me and thee, as there was between my father and thy father: behold, I have sent thee silver and gold; go, break thy league with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart from me.
4And Benhadad hearkened unto king Asa, and sent the captains of his armies against the cities of Israel; and they smote Ijon, and Dan, and Abelmaim, and all the store cities of Naphtali.
5And it came to pass, when Baasha heard it, that he left off building of Ramah, and let his work cease.
6Then Asa the king took all Judah; and they carried away the stones of Ramah, and the timber thereof, wherewith Baasha was building; and he built therewith Geba and Mizpah.
2 Chronicles 16:2-6

Biblical Context

Asa uses silver and gold from the temple and the king's house to bribe Ben-Hadad, breaking Baasha's alliance. The Syrians attack Israel, Baasha halts Ramah, and Asa fortifies Geba and Mizpah.

Neville's Inner Vision

Take this scene as a mirror of your own consciousness. Asa’s outside act of paying silver is not merely politics; it is inner revision by which a man proves to himself a new state of being. The treasure—taken from the house of the Lord and the king’s house—symbolizes the wealth you have in your I AM when you no longer cling to the old security of limitation. He speaks a new league, and the unseen must answer to belief. When Ben-Hadad hearkens, the world shifts; but the true shift occurs in Asa’s mind, where the decision is already made: I am no longer ruled by Baasha’s fear or by the memory of Ramah. The outer army’s attack is the echo of the inner decision; the stopping of Ramah and the rebuilding at Geba and Mizpah are the visible fruit of a revised state. You too must live in the end you seek, hold the image of your desired outcome, and realize that the I AM within has already organized the means to bring it forth.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly, affirm, 'There is a league between me and the source of all supply; I already possess what I seek.' Feel the truth until the outer world echoes your inner end, and notice how circumstances rearrange to fit the revised state.
