Read 2 Chronicles 7 in context

Scripture Focus

13If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people;

14If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

2 Chronicles 7:13-14

Biblical Context

The passage speaks of storms or drought as conditions of the inner life. When a people humble themselves, pray, seek the face of God, and turn from wicked ways, God promises to hear, forgive, and heal.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Neville Goddard’s reading, the 'heaven' that can be shut and the 'land' that can suffer are not distant places but the states of your consciousness. The people spoken of are the I AM you identify with; your inner identity. When you humble yourself, pray, seek the face of God within, and turn from your own false beliefs, you are performing a revision of your inner state. Do not look outward for mercy; look inward and shift your premise. In that moment, you hear from heaven—awareness becomes receptive, and you forgive yourself for past errors. The healing of the land follows as a natural effect of the changed inner climate; conditions align with the new assumption. The invitation is practical: accept that you can turn from a fear-based story and adopt the truth of your unity with God. Imagination, rightly used, can convert drought into rain and destruction into peace.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: In a moment of stillness, assume the feeling, 'I am heard within,' and revise any sense of lack into inner abundance. Then dwell in the mood of gratitude as if the healing response is already accomplished.
