Open Heaven Within
2 Chronicles 7:13 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Chronicles 7 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
God warns that heaven can be shut and rain withheld, and that calamities can be sent as consequences of the people's fidelity to the covenant. It frames hardship as a result of collective alignment with or away from divine law.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within Neville's lens, the 'heaven' and the 'rain' are states of consciousness. When you hear 'I shut up heaven,' understand it as your own awareness momentarily withholding inspiration. The locusts and pestilence become invading thoughts and anxious habits that devour your energy. This is not a distant threat but a cue: you are the I AM in command of your inner weather. If you perceive drought or lack, examine the inner currents you entertained—perhaps a belief in separation or limitation. The cure is to assume the opposite state, to revise the past: feel the fulfilled desire now, as if it already exists, and rest in the continuous flow of awareness that opens the heavens. By treating yourself as the sole doer and observer of all movement, you align with a divine flow that dissolves appearances of restriction. In that alignment, guidance and providence become experiential realities, not judgments to fear.
Practice This Now
Place your hand on your chest, declare 'I AM open heaven now,' and feel abundant rain of vitality flooding your being; sit with the sensation for 5–10 minutes.
