Neville Goddard on 2 Kings 5:11-12 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Kings 5 in context

Scripture Focus

11But Naaman was wroth, and went away, and said, Behold, I thought, He will surely come out to me, and stand, and call on the name of the LORD his God, and strike his hand over the place, and recover the leper.

12Are not Abana and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? may I not wash in them, and be clean? So he turned and went away in a rage.

2 Kings 5:11-12

Biblical Context

Naaman’s pride drives him to demand a grand ritual from Damascus. He misses the inner invitation to surrender to the LORD's healing.

Neville's Inner Vision

Naaman’s fury is not about a leper’s body; it is about a mind clinging to externals. He thinks healing comes by a public gesture: the king’s word, a dramatic call to the LORD, a hand lifted over the place, and washes in famous rivers. But the inner story is that the I AM within you does not respond to spectacle; it answers to willingness. The diseased state in the mind is pride—an insistence that recognition, status, or in a sensory ritual can fetch health. When you insist that God must move in a certain way, you block the very current of grace. The cure is simple: soften your assumption, revise your expectation, and let the inner reality disclose itself. The washing is a mental act, a turning of attention away from external waters to the awareness of the I AM washing the mind with truth. In that felt sense—breath, stillness, quiet assurance—the leprosy of fear and separation dissolves as your consciousness yields.
