Inner Worship, Outer Praise
2 Chronicles 20:18-19 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Chronicles 20 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Jehoshaphat and all Judah bow before the LORD in worship, and the people fall prostrate in reverent submission. The Levites then rise to loudly praise the God of Israel.
Neville's Inner Vision
The scene is not mere ritual; it is a vivid demonstration of states of consciousness. Jehoshaphat's bowing of the head to the ground reveals a surrender to the I AM within, the awareness that governs every event. When the entire nation yields to the Lord, the mind becomes receptive, and inner movements align with a singular, tranquil presence. The Levites' loud praise serves not as spectacle but as a consecrated affirmation of the truth already present in consciousness: that God—the God of Israel—is the living presence you stand in. In Neville's terms, worship is the recognition that you are one with the divine I AM, and your outward world mirrors the inward worship. Humility clears resistance; praise activates the vibration of faith. The practical takeaway is simple: you do not seek God from without; you realize you are already in God, and your state of consciousness determines what manifests. When you assume that presence and feel it as real, your surroundings become holy ground within you.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and bow in your imagination, affirming I AM as your immediate reality. Feel the presence, and quietly declare that all is well, letting the inner truth shape your outer experience.
