Inner Peace for a Tender Heart

2 Kings 22:18-20 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 2 Kings 22 in context

Scripture Focus

18But to the king of Judah which sent you to enquire of the LORD, thus shall ye say to him, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, As touching the words which thou hast heard;
19Because thine heart was tender, and thou hast humbled thyself before the LORD, when thou heardest what I spake against this place, and against the inhabitants thereof, that they should become a desolation and a curse, and hast rent thy clothes, and wept before me; I also have heard thee, saith the LORD.
20Behold therefore, I will gather thee unto thy fathers, and thou shalt be gathered into thy grave in peace; and thine eyes shall not see all the evil which I will bring upon this place. And they brought the king word again.
2 Kings 22:18-20

Biblical Context

Like Josiah, your inner king hears the divine word with a tender heart. Humility and release align your consciousness, and you are promised peace.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within you, the king is your consciousness, the Josiah of your being, who heard the inner word of God. The words you hear are not external judgments but signals of your state; when your heart is tender and you humble yourself before that inner Lord, you release old beliefs that desolate and curse, and you let the old garments fall—symbolic tears that seal the surrender. In that moment, your inner awareness answers, I have heard thee, and you are assured. The promise is not the avoidance of external calamity but the inner peace that comes when you rest in the truth you have assumed. You will be gathered into thy fathers—into the peaceful end of this present form—while your eye beholds not the coming evils because they melt in the light of your inner alignment. So cultivate now the state: listen to the inner voice; yield to it; and dwell as the one who is already at peace.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and imagine you are the tender heart hearing the inner word. Release fear as you affirm, I hear the Lord in me, and dwell now in the feeling of being gathered into peace.
