Read 2 Kings 3 in context

Scripture Focus

11But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the LORD, that we may enquire of the LORD by him? And one of the king of Israel's servants answered and said, Here is Elisha the son of Shaphat, which poured water on the hands of Elijah.

12And Jehoshaphat said, The word of the LORD is with him. So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat and the king of Edom went down to him.

13And Elisha said unto the king of Israel, What have I to do with thee? get thee to the prophets of thy father, and to the prophets of thy mother. And the king of Israel said unto him, Nay: for the LORD hath called these three kings together, to deliver them into the hand of Moab.

14And Elisha said, As the LORD of hosts liveth, before whom I stand, surely, were it not that I regard the presence of Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, I would not look toward thee, nor see thee.

15But now bring me a minstrel. And it came to pass, when the minstrel played, that the hand of the LORD came upon him.

16And he said, Thus saith the LORD, Make this valley full of ditches.

17For thus saith the LORD, Ye shall not see wind, neither shall ye see rain; yet that valley shall be filled with water, that ye may drink, both ye, and your cattle, and your beasts.

18And this is but a light thing in the sight of the LORD: he will deliver the Moabites also into your hand.

19And ye shall smite every fenced city, and every choice city, and shall fell every good tree, and stop all wells of water, and mar every good piece of land with stones.

2 Kings 3:11-19

Biblical Context

Jehoshaphat seeks a prophet and Elisha reveals that the valley will be filled with water so all may drink, with victory on the way. The sign comes not from wind or rain but from a divine command that turns inner potential into outer supply.

Neville's Inner Vision

Your inner question, like Jehoshaphat’s, asks for the WORD of the LORD. Elisha’s reply shifts from external expediency to inner certainty: when the presence of the I AM is acknowledged, the valley of dryness becomes a field ready to receive. Bring me a minstrel—the stir of inspiration—so that the hand of the LORD may descend upon your speech. Then the command is given: make this valley full of ditches. The ditches are mental receptacles made by disciplined belief; the water is the felt reality of your desire already fulfilled. You will not see wind nor rain, yet the valley fills; this is the law that the supply comes through your consciousness, not through outer signs. The Moabites’ defeat is a sign you can trust that the inner decree is sufficient. So stand in the awareness that you are the I AM, that you already possess the means you seek, and let imagination do the filling. The outer scene will follow as you hold that inner certainty.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the feeling that your need is already supplied; picture your mind’s valley filling with water, and anchor it with the simple I AM declaration.
