Neville Goddard on 2 Chronicles 32:6-8 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Chronicles 32 in context

Scripture Focus

6And he set captains of war over the people, and gathered them together to him in the street of the gate of the city, and spake comfortably to them, saying,

7Be strong and courageous, be not afraid nor dismayed for the king of Assyria, nor for all the multitude that is with him: for there be more with us than with him:

8With him is an arm of flesh; but with us is the LORD our God to help us, and to fight our battles. And the people rested themselves upon the words of Hezekiah king of Judah.

2 Chronicles 32:6-8

Biblical Context

Hezekiah gathers the people, urges them to be strong and courageous, and declares that the Lord is with them. The message wins the crowd because they rest their faith on this inner truth rather than on outward power.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within your own consciousness, the gate of the city stands for the doorway to ordinary life, and the captains of war are the disciplined faculties you marshal when fear rises. The king of Assyria is not a person but the appearance of limitation pressing against your sense of security. Yet Hezekiah’s declaration—'with us is the LORD our God to help us, and to fight our battles'—is the inner truth of your I AM: an unwavering awareness that never abandons you and that can mobilize unseen forces on your behalf. The people resting on his words reveals how belief moves the texture of experience; when you align with this inner king, you perceive that there are more with you than with any image of danger. The 'arm of flesh' fades in the light of the Presence within, for your divine Presence is the root of all strength. This is not mere optimism but the realization that imagination is the instrument by which reality is formed. So guard your inner weather: plant the conviction, feel it as real, and stand present to the Lord who helps you, even now, in every battle.

Practice This Now

Assume the feeling that the I AM is with you now; declare, 'There are more with me than with fear,' and let that awareness govern your next moment. Then imagine stepping through the inner gate with calm courage as the Presence fights your battles.
