Inner Greed, Outer Consequences

2 Kings 5:21-24 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 2 Kings 5 in context

Scripture Focus

21So Gehazi followed after Naaman. And when Naaman saw him running after him, he lighted down from the chariot to meet him, and said, Is all well?
22And he said, All is well. My master hath sent me, saying, Behold, even now there be come to me from mount Ephraim two young men of the sons of the prophets: give them, I pray thee, a talent of silver, and two changes of garments.
23And Naaman said, Be content, take two talents. And he urged him, and bound two talents of silver in two bags, with two changes of garments, and laid them upon two of his servants; and they bare them before him.
24And when he came to the tower, he took them from their hand, and bestowed them in the house: and he let the men go, and they departed.
2 Kings 5:21-24

Biblical Context

Gehazi pursues wealth by deception after Naaman's generosity. His lie leads to concealment and gifting of spoil, exposing the danger of greed and the call to truth.

Neville's Inner Vision

Notice Gehazi as an inner state within your mind, the part that desires to secure abundance by clever means rather than trust. When he runs after Naaman, the scene is a rehearsal of a split mind—one foot in service, one in self-interest. In Neville's terms, this is a belief that wealth must be wrested, not recognized as already present in your I AM. The two talents and two garments become symbols of a hidden bargain you try to strike with life, a compact made with fear rather than faith. Naaman’s gracious response and Gehazi’s duplicity reveal how consciousness mirrors its expectations: the moment you pretend to give while secretly taking, you invite a tower of results that must be brought home. The healing is not in the loot but in the alignment of your will with truth—acknowledging that you are the same I AM who already provides. When you release the fear of shortage, you stop chasing appearances and allow inner wealth to appear as outward provision, without guilt or manipulation.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly, place a hand on your chest, and declare, 'I am the I AM; wealth and integrity flow through me now.' Feel the truth of it until it displaces the old urge to seize or manipulate gain.
