Neville Goddard on 2 Chronicles 16:5-9 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Chronicles 16 in context

Scripture Focus

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.

7And at that time Hanani the seer came to Asa king of Judah, and said unto him, Because thou hast relied on the king of Syria, and not relied on the LORD thy God, therefore is the host of the king of Syria escaped out of thine hand.

8Were not the Ethiopians and the Lubims a huge host, with very many chariots and horsemen? yet, because thou didst rely on the LORD, he delivered them into thine hand.

9For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. Herein thou hast done foolishly: therefore from henceforth thou shalt have wars.

2 Chronicles 16:5-9

Biblical Context

Asa relies on Syria instead of the LORD, which leads to set-back and war. When trust is placed in the LORD rather than worldly powers, deliverance comes, and the LORD’s strength favors those whose hearts are aligned with Him.

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, you are not reading a history but an inner confession. When Asa trusted a king rather than the LORD, he proved that a strategy born of fear cannot bind the outcome. The divine is not out there; the LORD is the I AM within your own consciousness, the steady observer whose eyes roam the earth to show himself strong for a heart made perfect toward Him. If you rely on a worldly alliance, you loosen the inner grip and the apparent deliverance slips away into wars of circumstance. But when you turn from external power and fix your attention on the LORD within, you invite a different result: the great host of resistance dissolves, and you sense strength as a quiet conviction that you are supported now. The heart becomes perfect toward Him whenever you refuse to bargain with surface strategy and instead feel the presence of divine guidance as your own.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Close your eyes, breathe, and declare: I rely on the LORD my God; the divine within guides every choice. Feel the certainty that the right outcome is already mine.
