Inner Captains Of Faith
2 Chronicles 17:14-16 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Chronicles 17 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verses enumerate the leaders of Judah and their mighty warriors, highlighting the willingness of Amasiah to offer himself to the LORD.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within you, the numbers are not military but the size of your conviction. The captains are your faculties—courage, loyalty, discernment—who march at the command of the I AM within. Amasiah’s offering is your willingness to surrender your personal will to the sole ruler of your consciousness. When you 'imagine' this alignment, you are not creating war but inviting your self-concept to become obedient to God inside you, to stand under the Lordship of your I AM. The 'army' grows as you dwell in a state of trust, obedience, perseverance. The outer numbers reflect inner gravity; as you rotate your attention to the I AM and adopt the feeling of being led, you dissolve resistance and increase coherence. This is true worship: aligning your inner dispositions with the Divine Spirit, not by ritual, but by the habitual acceptance of your true state. Your inner army strengthens as your imagination remains faithful to the I AM, and you become the captain of thousands by the authority of your God within.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes. In your mind's eye, imagine an army within you—captains of thought, courage, and fidelity—marching to the voice of the I AM; feel them bow to your inner LORD and stand ready. Repeat the assertion, 'I am led by the I AM; I willingly offer my will to Its command,' and let the feeling of trust settle into your chest.
