Inner Kingship and Covenant Defense
2 Chronicles 17:1-19 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Chronicles 17 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Jehoshaphat strengthens Judah's defenses and reforms by obeying the Lord and removing high places, while sending Levites to teach the law. The result is divine favor, wealth, and a climate of reverent fear that quiets war and expands his influence.
Neville's Inner Vision
Jehoshaphat represents the I AM awakening in consciousness: a king who chooses the first ways of David, not the habit-patterns of the old belief. When you align with the Lord God of your fathers—your true Parent, your I AM—you establish a kingdom that steadies itself against every sense of ‘otherness.’ His decision to send teachers into the cities of Judah is the inner discipline of replacing ignorance with the law in daily mind. The removal of high places and groves is the shattering of substitute gods within your awareness; the Law becomes the living conversation in your streets. As you walk this inner path, the fear of the LORD falls upon surrounding kingdoms—your fears recede as you surround yourself with the truth you have learned. The outward abundance—riches, honor, fortified cities—is the fruit of a mind that has learned to dwell in the awareness of the I AM and to serve it through steady practice. Your mind becomes a fortress of order, not of worry; your life becomes a testament to covenant loyalty.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Assume the state of the King—I AM with me—then mentally fortify every inner city with the law. Revise lack by repeating, 'The I AM governs my all.'
