Neville Goddard on 2 Kings 2:19-22 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Kings 2 in context

Scripture Focus

19And the men of the city said unto Elisha, Behold, I pray thee, the situation of this city is pleasant, as my lord seeth: but the water is naught, and the ground barren.

20And he said, Bring me a new cruse, and put salt therein. And they brought it to him.

21And he went forth unto the spring of the waters, and cast the salt in there, and said, Thus saith the LORD, I have healed these waters; there shall not be from thence any more death or barren land.

22So the waters were healed unto this day, according to the saying of Elisha which he spake.

2 Kings 2:19-22

Biblical Context

The city glows with beauty, yet its waters are barren. Elisha brings a new cruse with salt and proclaims healing, turning the wells toward life.

Neville's Inner Vision

Notice your own inner city that seems fine on the surface, yet the wells of belief run dry. Elisha's act - bringing a new vessel and salt - speaks to a shift of consciousness: a fresh container prepared by attentive awareness, and a purifying element cast into the springs of memory. When I, the I AM, declare, Thus saith the LORD, I have healed these waters, I am naming a reality already accomplished in the divine state. The water that nourishes barren ground is not an external marvel but the revival of life within. Salt stands for discernment - the removal of stale, dead narratives by a vivid, clarified awareness. As the salt dissolves, the inner springs receive vitality; the land of my thoughts no longer bears the stamp of death but reflects a renewed abundance. The healing is not waiting to happen; it is my state of consciousness aligning with truth. I must hold the tune of approval, project faith, and feel the resulting shift until the waters sing within me.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and declare I am the new cruse; imagine pouring salt into your inner waters, and affirm I have healed these waters until you feel flow.
