Inner Covenant of Kingship
2 Chronicles 23:3 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Chronicles 23 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
In 2 Chronicles 23:3, the congregation binds itself to the king in the house of God; the king's son shall reign, as the LORD declared for the house of David.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within this verse, the congregation represents your varied inner states, gathered in the house of God—the sanctuary of awareness. The king is the I AM, the sovereign I that cannot be dethroned when you attend to it. The king's son, the living expression of your true authority, is promised to reign, not by force but by alignment with the divine decree already laid in your being—the Lord’s word about the sons of David. See the scene as a picture of inner governance: every impulse, feeling, and belief willingly makes covenant with the king, pledging obedience to the one who is always king in you. When you accept that the inner temple is the seat of governance and that the king's lineage is your present power, the reign of limitations dissolves. The verse invites you to refuse any counterfeit throne and to affirm that your awareness, the I AM, is the ruler through which all truths flow.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Sit quiet, breathe into the I AM, and declare, 'I am the king; my son reigns now.' Visualize the inner congregation sealing a covenant with the king in the temple of your mind, then feel the royal authority flowing through you as you embody this reign.
