Neville Goddard on 2 Chronicles 20:7-9 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Chronicles 20 in context

Scripture Focus

7Art not thou our God, who didst drive out the inhabitants of this land before thy people Israel, and gavest it to the seed of Abraham thy friend for ever?

8And they dwelt therein, and have built thee a sanctuary therein for thy name, saying,

9If, when evil cometh upon us, as the sword, judgment, or pestilence, or famine, we stand before this house, and in thy presence, (for thy name is in this house,) and cry unto thee in our affliction, then thou wilt hear and help.

2 Chronicles 20:7-9

Biblical Context

The passage recalls God as the true God who gave the land to Abraham's seed; when trouble comes, the people are to stand in the house of God and cry for help, trusting He will hear and assist.

Neville's Inner Vision

In the stillness of your awareness, the land you fear is a state of consciousness. God is the I AM within; the sanctuary is your heart where His name resides. When difficulty arises—as sword, judgment, or pestilence in imagination—the instruction is to stand in the inner house, not to beg from without, but to return to the presence that bears your true covenant. The line about the seed of Abraham thy friend points to your faithful nature, the part of you that remains loyal to divine intention. The covenant is perpetual; deliverance comes through your ongoing alignment with the inner God. Your petition is an act of assumption: you do not seek outside rescue, you assume that you are heard, and so you are. By recalling past inner deliverances, you enrich the sensation of being heard now, confirming the presence of the I AM as your immediate reality. Faithful, constant alignment to this inner covenant yields the relief and help you seek, here and now.

Practice This Now

In stillness, recall a moment of inner deliverance and, from that memory, assume the state of 'I am heard and helped' as a present reality within your heart.
