Imaginative Healing on the Hill

2 Kings 4:27-29 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 2 Kings 4 in context

Scripture Focus

27And when she came to the man of God to the hill, she caught him by the feet: but Gehazi came near to thrust her away. And the man of God said, Let her alone; for her soul is vexed within her: and the LORD hath hid it from me, and hath not told me.
28Then she said, Did I desire a son of my lord? did I not say, Do not deceive me?
29Then he said to Gehazi, Gird up thy loins, and take my staff in thine hand, and go thy way: if thou meet any man, salute him not; and if any salute thee, answer him not again: and lay my staff upon the face of the child.
2 Kings 4:27-29

Biblical Context

A woman comes to the man of God seeking help for a promised son. The prophet allows her prayer and then sends Gehazi with a staff to lay on the child.

Neville's Inner Vision

On the hill of awareness, the woman is the restless mind pressed by desire; the man of God is your higher self, gently naming conditions in terms of inner truth. The LORD hath hid it from me signals that the seed of the promise lies in the unseen depths, waiting for your conscious acknowledgment. Her plea for a son is your wish for life incarnate, a future that feels almost too distant to grasp. When the instruction comes—gird thy loins, take my staff—and the staff is laid on the face of the child, see the staff as the faculty of imagination acting upon the seed within. Do not greet outward appearances; let the inner act complete the thing unseen. In Neville's language: you must feel it real now, even as the story unfolds. The 'child' is your manifestation, and the delay is simply how consciousness learns to awaken.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and, in present consciousness, assume the promise is already fulfilled. Imagine the scene: holding the revived child, and feel the certainty of its reality until it registers as fact.
