Neville Goddard on 2 Chronicles 7:22 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Chronicles 7 in context

Scripture Focus

22And it shall be answered, Because they forsook the LORD God of their fathers, which brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, and laid hold on other gods, and worshipped them, and served them: therefore hath he brought all this evil upon them.

2 Chronicles 7:22

Biblical Context

The verse states that forsaking the LORD and worshiping other gods leads to trouble and suffering as the natural result of those inner choices. It frames judgment as the outcome of turning away from the true allegiance within.

Neville's Inner Vision

All events in your life are states of consciousness. The 'people' who forsake the LORD and bow to other gods are not distant strangers; they are the competing voices within your own awareness—fear, desire, doubt, habit. When you cling to these as if they were gods, you invite inner disharmony and what the text calls 'evil.' The remedy is not punishment but a reversal of thinking: restore worship of the one God within, the I AM that you are. True worship is not ritual alone but the ongoing alignment of your inner centers with unity, not performance. As you settle into the awareness that you are one with God, the imagined gods lose their power and the scenes of judgment dissolve because you no longer identify with them. The narrative of 7:22 becomes a map: inner confusion signals a temporary forgetfulness of your original allegiance. Reclaim that allegiance now by affirming, 'I am the LORD my God,' and feel that oneness as your immediate reality.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly; for two minutes, assume the feeling of oneness with the I AM. Repeat, 'I am one with God; there is no other,' and feel the inner covenant becoming your lived reality.
