Inner Deliverance in 2 Kings

Neville's Inner Vision

Here, the request is not for a political rescue but a transformation of consciousness. The speaker appeals to the I AM to release them from a perceived external power—'his hand'—so that the kingdoms of the earth may witness that the Lord is God. In this scripture, you are invited to see deliverance as a shift of inner state. When you imagine that there is a power apart from God, you contract, you live in fear, you identify with a man-made will. Yet the reality is that the I AM, the sole consciousness in which you exist, can liberate you from every oppressive sense of separation. The petition becomes a declaration of your own feeling of sovereignty: you are saved now, not by coercion from outside, but by recognition that there is only one power. As you hold that awareness, the various 'kingdoms'—fears, desires, circumstances— bow, and the world can know that the Lord God is within. This is salvation and redemption in the Kingdom of God: the inner witness that God is the only power manifests outwardly.
