Clearing the Inner High Places
2 Chronicles 17:6 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Chronicles 17 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse notes a heart lifted toward the LORD and the removal of the high places and groves from Judah, symbolizing a purification of worship. It points to an inner shift where outward forms give way to true alignment with God in consciousness.
Neville's Inner Vision
Beloved, the line speaks not of stone altars, but of your own mental altars. The heart that is 'lifted up in the ways of the LORD' is the I AM rising into the order of divine life within you. The 'high places' and 'groves' are the habitual pictures and rituals by which you have kept your awareness attached to lack, fear, and separation. To remove them is to revise your inner architecture, not to ruin history. When you acknowledge that the LORD is your true disposition, you naturally displace the old worship; you reassign the temple to thoughts and feelings that reflect unity, abundance, and peace. The law is simple: as you consent to the SUN of your own awareness, you alter the inner weather, and the outer scene follows. The verse invites you to become the ruler who governs by inner decree rather than by outward performance. Your job is to hold the vision of a single center of life—your I AM—and to let that center erase the footholds of old cults of fear.
Practice This Now
Assume the feeling of your I AM already aligned with the divine order. Silently revise any inner altar by affirming, 'I remove the high places and groves from my mind now,' and observe the inner temple clarifying as old worship dissolves.
