Inner Conception of Promise

2 Kings 4:13-17 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 2 Kings 4 in context

Scripture Focus

13And he said unto him, Say now unto her, Behold, thou hast been careful for us with all this care; what is to be done for thee? wouldest thou be spoken for to the king, or to the captain of the host? And she answered, I dwell among mine own people.
14And he said, What then is to be done for her? And Gehazi answered, Verily she hath no child, and her husband is old.
15And he said, Call her. And when he had called her, she stood in the door.
16And he said, About this season, according to the time of life, thou shalt embrace a son. And she said, Nay, my lord, thou man of God, do not lie unto thine handmaid.
17And the woman conceived, and bare a son at that season that Elisha had said unto her, according to the time of life.
2 Kings 4:13-17

Biblical Context

The prophet promises a son to the childless woman, and at the appointed season she conceives. The birth confirms the power of a stated promise moving from possibility to actuality.

Neville's Inner Vision

In this text, the 'child' is not a baby you add to your family, but a state of consciousness you awaken within. Elisha’s question—What is to be done for thee?—is the invitation to regard your life as a field of unseen possibilities you can choose to vivify. Gehazi’s remark that she has no child and her husband is old merely names the old, lack-heavy image you carry in awareness. When she is called to the door, she stands at the threshold of a new assumption: the inner season of life is now. The spoken decree, "About this season, according to the time of life, thou shalt embrace a son," is the law of assumption, the I AM asserting what you desire until your feeling-register aligns. The conceived son appears as the fruit of your revised sense of self—an event born from within, not from earthly conditions. The miracle is explained not as external intervention but as your own consciousness choosing to identify with fullness rather than lack. If you dwell in the truth that you are the one who births realities, you will find that birth occurs by your continued imagining and feeling of the already-realized state.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly, close your eyes, and assume the feeling that your desire is already realized. Repeat a simple phrase like, 'I am the I AM birth of this promise now,' until the image feels real.
