Inner Siege: The Kingdom Within
2 Kings 17:5 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Kings 17 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The king of Assyria besieges Samaria for three years, signaling a prolonged external trouble.
Neville's Inner Vision
The siege is not coming from outside but from within. In the I AM presence there is no real occupation, only a repeat of a mental state that you have absorbed as truth. The three years symbolize a persistent belief that limitation is real, a habit of consciousness that blocks the door to possibility. When you identify with that fear, you live under siege just as Samaria did. But you hold the key: turn from the story of lack to the awareness of an uninterrupted presence. Dwell in the conviction that you are the I AM, the one who cannot be besieged. By imagining your land free, by revising the mental narrative, you dissolve the siege and reveal the inner kingdom already established within you.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Assume the state I AM free now. In a quiet moment, revise the mental scene so the siege never affected you, picturing Samaria opening and your inner kingdom thriving, and feel the relief as if it were true.
