Inner Sickness, Outer Consequence
2 Chronicles 21:15 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Chronicles 21 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
It portrays a coming sickness of the bowels as a bodily sign of inner disorder and misalignment in the king’s thoughts. The verse treats the body's condition as a mirror of the inner state.
Neville's Inner Vision
Your body is a stage of your consciousness; bowels symbolize your deepest feelings—fear, guilt, grievance—that have taken root as identity. When a ruling belief says I am sick, the body rehearses it day by day, until it becomes habit. The I AM—awareness itself—is the lever for change. To shift the outer symptoms, you must revise the inner condition by affirming I AM health, I AM vitality, I AM whole. Sit with the sensation of your essential self and imagine the wellness you desire, letting that felt truth flood every cell. The king's fate here is not punishment but the natural outgrowth of an unexamined thought. Keep imagining from the end: health present now, regardless of appearances. Persist in that certainty and the old sickness dissolves as new alignment takes root.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, place a hand on your belly, and silently declare I AM healthy now. Imagine a warm light filling the abdomen, dissolving the old belief of sickness, and dwell in that felt state until it holds.
