Awakening the Inner Covenant
2 Kings 17:34 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Kings 17 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse shows a people persisting in former manners, failing to revere the Lord or follow His statutes, indicating a breach of covenant loyalty.
Neville's Inner Vision
In Neville's inner vision, the 'they' of 2 Kings are not distant pagans but states of consciousness still living in the old patterns. The 'former manners' are mental habits, inherited from past prayers and fears, that keep you from the I AM. 'Fear not the LORD' translates as the moment you forget the awe and binding power of the I AM within, and 'statutes' and 'the law and commandment' become mere externalities when felt life is not aligned. The inner reality remains untouched by divine order until you make a deliberate shift. When you claim the truth that you are the I AM, you can observe this verse as a map of your inner terrain. The remedy is not better behavior alone but a revision of consciousness: return to the inner covenant by treating the inner statutes as living laws governing your awareness. See yourself as Jacob/Israel, an identity reawakened to its covenant with the Lord within. The moment you assume this state, the habitual 'former manners' crumble, and events in your world rearrange to mirror the re-ordered life within. Fidelity becomes felt reality as you dwell in the awareness that the I AM governs every law and commandment of your inner world.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and imagine you are the Israel within, living by the inner statutes. Assume the feeling of reverent awe toward the I AM and revise your life by affirming: From this moment I align my life with the inner law; I feel and live the covenant now.
