Inner Statutes and False Worship

2 Chronicles 7:19 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 2 Chronicles 7 in context

Scripture Focus

19But if ye turn away, and forsake my statutes and my commandments, which I have set before you, and shall go and serve other gods, and worship them;
2 Chronicles 7:19

Biblical Context

Turning away from the statutes and commandments, and worshiping other gods, invites trouble. The core message is loyalty to the inner law.

Neville's Inner Vision

Verse 7:19 speaks not of geography but of the inward condition. When you turn away from the statutes and commandments set within you, you bow to a collection of 'other gods'—external cravings, fears, reputations, or the lure of appearances—and you worship them by giving them your attention and feeling. In Neville's terms, you are imagining yourself under a different ruler, one that governs by the senses rather than the I AM. The true faith is loyalty to the inner law, the unchanging covenant of your being. If you want a lasting good, you do not chase it as a separate god; you revise your state of consciousness to acknowledge that the inner statutes are already fulfilled in you. Assume you are faithful to the inner commandments and let your imagination align with that truth. Feel the certainty as a present fact: I AM the law, I worship the truth within me. When you dwell there, the outer world will reflect that inner alignment.

Practice This Now

Practice: close your eyes, revise any urge to chase external gods by declaring, 'I am faithful to the inner statutes; I worship the I AM within me.' Then feel and imagine your soul's temple aligning your thoughts, feelings, and actions.
