Neville Goddard on 2 Chronicles 17:5-6 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Chronicles 17 in context

Scripture Focus

5Therefore the LORD stablished the kingdom in his hand; and all Judah brought to Jehoshaphat presents; and he had riches and honour in abundance.

6And his heart was lifted up in the ways of the LORD: moreover he took away the high places and groves out of Judah.

2 Chronicles 17:5-6

Biblical Context

Jehoshaphat's period shows the kingdom secured and honored as the people bring gifts; his heart aligns with the LORD, and he removes high places and groves.

Neville's Inner Vision

The scripture reveals a law of consciousness: the kingdom is established in your mind when you align with the I AM. Wealth and honor appear as natural expressions of that alignment, while the heart lifted to walk in the LORD's ways is a deliberate inner posture, not a mere duty. The removal of the high places and groves represents purging inner idols—desire for approval, fear of lack, and old attachments—so that attention is anchored in truth. As you dwell from this center, the outer becomes a faithful mirror: presents, abundance, and esteem arise because the inner state is sovereign. You are not chasing blessings; you are establishing the state of consciousness in which they flow. Let every condition testify that your inner kingdom is safeguarded by unwavering awareness—the I AM—and the life of prosperity follows as a faithful consequence.

Practice This Now

Assume the inner kingdom is established in your mind now and feel wealth and honor as present sensations; revise any belief that idol worship keeps you safe, and rest your attention on the I AM for a minute.
