Inner Reign of the Word
2 Kings 1:17 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Kings 1 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The LORD's word is fulfilled as Ahaziah dies and Jehoram begins to reign, marking a transition in the inner life from one state of consciousness to another. The verse invites you to see prophecy as inner movement rather than external history.
Neville's Inner Vision
Observe that the death of Ahaziah and the succession of Jehoram is not a history lesson but a signal to your inner life. The word of the LORD that Elijah spoke is the fixed idea you embed in consciousness. When you assent to that word, the old self dies and a new ruler comes to power in you—Jehoram, the administrator of the second year, representing a fresh phase of awareness that follows the law of inner succession. The fact that there was no son is a sign that outward generation is not what creates reality; rather, it is the inward decree that births conditions. In Neville's law, the kingdom of God is right now within you, governed by the king you permit to sit on the throne of your attention. Trust that the outer events align with the inner state, so your life unfolds under this inner sovereignty. By accepting the inner word as permanent, you experience a steady shift rather than a struggle, and you observe the outward world gradually mirror the new reign.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Assume the inner word is already true. Feel the old self fade and the new king rise on the throne of your awareness.
