Read 2 Kings 13 in context

Scripture Focus

2 Kings 13:14

Biblical Context

Elisha lies sick unto death, and Joash, the king of Israel, comes to him, weeping and naming him the chariot of Israel.

Neville's Inner Vision

Elisha’s sickness marks the end of a former state of consciousness, not merely a bodily ailment. Joash’s descent and tears reveal the human longing for external protection—the chariot and horsemen—yet Neville would tell us that all power resides in the I AM within us. The dying prophet embodies a worn identity that trusted Israel’s safety to outward kings; the king’s lament is an inner plea to reclaim vitality. The true chariot is not a procession of horses, but the living awareness that I am the source and sustainer of all things. When this inner realization arises, the old limitation dies so a new state of consciousness may emerge—one in which the chariot and horsemen are the I AM moving in, through, and as me. The verse invites us to revise inwardly: assume the power you seek, feel it real now, and watch the appearance of sickness surrender to wholeness as your inner Israel takes the field.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and revise the scene by declaring, 'I am the Chariot of Israel now.' Allow the felt sense of power and protection to rise as you dwell in that awareness for a minute.
