Neville Goddard on 2 Kings 4:36-37 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Kings 4 in context

Scripture Focus

36And he called Gehazi, and said, Call this Shunammite. So he called her. And when she was come in unto him, he said, Take up thy son.

37Then she went in, and fell at his feet, and bowed herself to the ground, and took up her son, and went out.

2 Kings 4:36-37

Biblical Context

Elisha summons the Shunammite and tells her to take up her son; she comes in, bows at his feet, lifts the child, and goes out.

Neville's Inner Vision

In the inner theater of consciousness, the call to Gehazi is the awakening of a dormant state within your awareness. The Shunammite represents your present I AM, recognizing a divine seed of life within. The command, Take up thy son, is your assumption that life is already restored in the object of your desire. When she enters and falls at the feet of the prophet, she yields to the one Presence within—the I AM that never abandons life. The bowing is surrender to that life; lifting up the son is the act of bringing your revived desire from the unseen realm into your present experience. She goes out carrying life back into the world, illustrating that when faith visits the inner chamber and makes a demand of life, life answers. Your task is to call forth your own 'son'—the health, opportunity, or peace you seek—into the theater of your consciousness, treat it as alive, and walk forward with the certainty that it already exists.

Practice This Now

Imaginative practice: Sit quietly and picture your desired outcome as a living, revived son in your arms. Say, 'This is mine now,' and feel the joy of its present reality.
