Returning To The Lord Within
2 Chronicles 19:3-4 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Chronicles 19 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The text notes that Jehoshaphat had good things in him, because he removed the groves and prepared his heart to seek God. He then went about the land, guiding the people back to the LORD.
Neville's Inner Vision
Jehoshaphat in this passage is your inner I AM awakening to itself. The groves removed from the land signify the idols and old dispositions that no longer rule your mind. Acknowledging that 'there are good things found in thee' invites you to honor the true self already standing in light, and 'hast prepared thine heart to seek God' is the practice of conditioning your awareness to seek the One Power. When you turn your attention inward and refuse the old cravings, you set the heart to listen. The later verse, ‘he went out again through the people from Beersheba to mount Ephraim, and brought them back unto the LORD God of their fathers,’ becomes a metaphor for moving through the sweep of your consciousness—from the outer regions of belief to the inner citadel of faith—and guiding every thought back to the Lord within, the I AM, your birthright. This is covenant loyalty in action: alignment of every desire with divine truth, so the outer world mirrors that inner royal order. You are not seeking God; you are allowing God to reveal itself as you.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Close your eyes, breathe, and assume the identity of the I AM, imagining you have already removed every grove of fear from your inner land. Then feel-it-real by walking your mental Beersheba-to-Ephraim through thoughts and guiding them back to the LORD God of your fathers.
