Neville Goddard on 2 Chronicles 6:32-33 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Chronicles 6 in context

Scripture Focus

32Moreover concerning the stranger, which is not of thy people Israel, but is come from a far country for thy great name's sake, and thy mighty hand, and thy stretched out arm; if they come and pray in this house;

33Then hear thou from the heavens, even from thy dwelling place, and do according to all that the stranger calleth to thee for; that all people of the earth may know thy name, and fear thee, as doth thy people Israel, and may know that this house which I have built is called by thy name.

2 Chronicles 6:32-33

Biblical Context

Even a stranger who prays in the temple is heard from heaven, and God will grant the plea. This happens so that all nations may know and fear His name, and recognize that the house is called by His name.

Neville's Inner Vision

Notice that the stranger is not someone else but a latent state of consciousness not yet integrated. The 'house' is your present mind; the 'heavens' are the higher center of awareness you can assume. When the stranger comes and prays in this house, you permit a new condition to take root in your inner field. Heaven responds by arranging circumstances to match your inner petition, for you have invoked the I AM in the temple you call by name. The aim is that all the earth may know your name—your true identity—through the outward indicators of your realized state, and that the house declared by that name becomes a beacon that others may trust. The practical: you do not petition God from outside; you revise your inner state and allow it to be so, until the world bears witness to the state you now inhabit.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, breathe, and assume: I am the I AM; the stranger within comes to pray in this temple. Then, for a few minutes, feel the state as already granted, imagining the house radiating with that name, and notice one small action you can take today that confirms it.
