Neville Goddard on 2 Chronicles 27:5-6 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Chronicles 27 in context

Scripture Focus

5He fought also with the king of the Ammonites, and prevailed against them. And the children of Ammon gave him the same year an hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. So much did the children of Ammon pay unto him, both the second year, and the third.

6So Jotham became mighty, because he prepared his ways before the LORD his God.

2 Chronicles 27:5-6

Biblical Context

Jotham defeated the Ammonites and prospered because he prepared his ways before the LORD. The outward strength mirrored his inner discipline and alignment with God.

Neville's Inner Vision

Picture the events in your mind as a reflection of your inner condition. The king of the Ammonites and their tribute are not 'out there' adversaries and rewards; they are symbols of tests and confirmations your state has drawn near. In this view you are the I AM, awareness itself; the battles are movements of your inner consciousness, and the abundance is the natural fruit of disciplined attention. When Jotham 'prepared his ways before the LORD his God', he did not merely perform rites; he tuned his attention to the end he desired and dwelt there in imagination until it became his sense of being. The outer victory—over adversaries, and the year's tribute of silver and grain—appears as the echo of a mind that has already decided the outcome. The verse teaches that power follows obedience to your inner leading, your consent to be guided by the divine within. So the mighty state is a state of consciousness you can cultivate now: alignment, dedication, and the feeling that your God is your own I AM.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Sit quietly, close your eyes, and assume the state, 'I have prepared my ways before the LORD my God.' Feel the assurance rising, then let external tests soften and abundance appear as the natural expression of that inner preparation.
