It Shall Be Well: Inner Journey

2 Kings 4:21-25 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 2 Kings 4 in context

Scripture Focus

21And she went up, and laid him on the bed of the man of God, and shut the door upon him, and went out.
22And she called unto her husband, and said, Send me, I pray thee, one of the young men, and one of the asses, that I may run to the man of God, and come again.
23And he said, Wherefore wilt thou go to him to day? it is neither new moon, nor sabbath. And she said, It shall be well.
24Then she saddled an ass, and said to her servant, Drive, and go forward; slack not thy riding for me, except I bid thee.
25So she went and came unto the man of God to mount Carmel. And it came to pass, when the man of God saw her afar off, that he said to Gehazi his servant, Behold, yonder is that Shunammite:
2 Kings 4:21-25

Biblical Context

A devoted Shunammite mother lays her son on the bed of the man of God, then seeks him with unwavering faith, saying it shall be well, and travels to receive help.

Neville's Inner Vision

In this scene the Shunammite is your inner state of faith. The bed of the man of God is the resting place of truth within the mind where a vital desire lies asleep until awakened. Her act of laying the child there is the decision to center the dream in divine awareness rather than in the outer world of conditions. The husband and the donkey represent the outward supports and habits of the waking life, powerful yet insufficient to bring healing until the mind consents. When she declares that it shall be well she makes a pure assumption, a feeling of reality that does not argue with appearances. The journey toward the man of God is the movement of attention toward the Source, Mount Carmel the summit of vision where the inner judge and servant become your own inner faculties. The moment the prophet recognizes her from afar indicates that the inner state has already been seen and responded to by the I AM. Trust that your inner outline is already fulfilled in imagination, and the outer events merely reflect it.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Quietly place a current desire on the bed of your mind and repeat It shall be well as you move your attention toward the inner man of God, then act as if the outcome is already yours.
