Inner Petition, Outer Peace

2 Kings 4:22-26 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 2 Kings 4 in context

Scripture Focus

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:
26Run now, I pray thee, to meet her, and say unto her, Is it well with thee? is it well with thy husband? is it well with the child? And she answered, It is well.
2 Kings 4:22-26

Biblical Context

A Shunammite woman asks her husband to send for the man of God so she can seek help, insisting it will be well even before any sign appears. She travels to Mount Carmel; the man of God and Gehazi greet her with questions, and she answers, It is well.

Neville's Inner Vision

Observe how the outer drama encodes an inner stance. The mother's urgent plea is not a cry to fate but a decision to align with the I AM, the still, creative awareness that makes all things possible. The husband's worldly question—Why go now?—exposes the old habit of doubt that resists the now. Her reply, It shall be well, is the living seed of a conscious state: she refuses to let circumstance define her. The journey to the man of God becomes a symbolic ascent of attention toward the inner guide within, the mount Carmel of awareness where remedies are brewed. When the man of God sees her approaching, the question Is it well? is really a test of the state she has already assumed. Her concise answer, It is well, confirms that she has revived a truth: in the I AM there is no lack and no waiting. In Neville's method, the event is not produced by worldly logistics but by a shift in consciousness—imagine the end, feel the end, and let the outer expressions rearrange themselves to match the inner decree. The provision and healing come as natural outcomes of the inner alignment you already carry.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Spend a minute today in the posture of the Shunammite—declare It is well regarding your current concern, then feel the truth of that claim in your chest and let a small sense of relief rise. If doubt intrudes, revise to It shall be well and linger in the feeling of already-having-what-you-need.
