Hezekiah's Inner Petition

2 Kings 19:14-19 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 2 Kings 19 in context

Scripture Focus

14And Hezekiah received the letter of the hand of the messengers, and read it: and Hezekiah went up into the house of the LORD, and spread it before the LORD.
15And Hezekiah prayed before the LORD, and said, O LORD God of Israel, which dwellest between the cherubims, thou art the God, even thou alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth; thou hast made heaven and earth.
16LORD, bow down thine ear, and hear: open, LORD, thine eyes, and see: and hear the words of Sennacherib, which hath sent him to reproach the living God.
17Of a truth, LORD, the kings of Assyria have destroyed the nations and their lands,
18And have cast their gods into the fire: for they were no gods, but the work of men's hands, wood and stone: therefore they have destroyed them.
19Now therefore, O LORD our God, I beseech thee, save thou us out of his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou art the LORD God, even thou only.
2 Kings 19:14-19

Biblical Context

Hezekiah reads a threatening letter, goes to the temple, and prays to the God of Israel, acknowledging Him as the only ruler of all kingdoms and asking to be saved so that all nations may know He is Lord.

Neville's Inner Vision

Here the letter is the voice of your fear, a narration of lack that seems to threaten your peace. Hezekiah does not argue with armies; he goes to the temple and refuses the world’s claim by stepping into the I AM, the Living God who dwells between the cherubim. You are invited to awaken that same inner sovereignty: acknowledge that the Lord is the God of Israel, the sole ruler of all kingdoms, who made heaven and earth. When you ask for hearing and sight, you are asking your own consciousness to listen to its true authority. The nations that seem to oppress you, their gods cast into fire, reveal themselves as merely mental formations—points of view you can revise by deciding they are nothing compared to the living presence within. Your petition becomes a declaration of salvation: the Lord is present, and by the act of assuming this truth with feeling, your outer world aligns with your inner state.

Practice This Now

Take a moment to write a brief 'letter' to your I AM about a current fear, place it before your inner temple, and silently declare God hears and will save. Then close your eyes, feel the living presence, and imagine the solution already established in your kingdom.
