Neville Goddard on 2 Chronicles 16:7-9 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Chronicles 16 in context

Scripture Focus

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 16:7-9

Biblical Context

2 Chronicles 16:7-9 contrasts Asa's reliance on Syria with reliance on the LORD, showing that trust in God brings deliverance while leaning on outsiders invites conflict. It also states that the eyes of the LORD roam the earth to support those whose heart is perfect toward Him.

Neville's Inner Vision

To read this, notice what Asa counted as power. The moment you lean on a person, plan, or outward alliance, you have stepped into a dream of separation. The LORD in this text is not a distant king but the I AM you are—the ever-present awareness that can stand against any illusion of lack. The apparent host that seems to escape your grasp is simply your attention chasing outward remedies. When your heart is fixed toward Him—when you acknowledge you are already whole in the divine sense—the LORD’s eyes, that conviction of inner reality, move within you and show themselves strong on your behalf. You do not manufacture miracles; you awaken to them by assuming the state of perfect faith and feeling it real. Practice a shift in your present moment: assume you are already united with the divine power; revise fear by affirming that your heart is perfected toward Him; watch external scenes begin to align with that inner certainty.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: tonight, sit quietly, declare 'I am one with the I AM; I trust the inner power.' Then imagine a bright, healing presence enveloping you, and feel the certainty rise as your heart rests perfectly toward Him.
