Inner Conception of Promise
2 Kings 4:13-17 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Kings 4 in context
Scripture Focus
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.
