From Strait to Inner Expansion

2 Kings 6:1-2 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 2 Kings 6 in context

Scripture Focus

1And the sons of the prophets said unto Elisha, Behold now, the place where we dwell with thee is too strait for us.
2Let us go, we pray thee, unto Jordan, and take thence every man a beam, and let us make us a place there, where we may dwell. And he answered, Go ye.
2 Kings 6:1-2

Biblical Context

The sons of the prophets acknowledge their dwelling is too small and propose a communal build by gathering beams from Jordan. Elisha blesses their plan, releasing permission to expand.

Neville's Inner Vision

Notice how the scene casts lack as the doorway to a larger inner life. The 'strait' place is not a geographical limit but a state of awareness that believes there is not enough room for your growing self. The Jordan is the flow of life, the movement of consciousness that carries you toward new structures of being. When the prophets say, 'Let us go,' they embody the act of revising and moving with life, not resisting it. Each beam they carry is a belief, a support you must gather from the stream of imagination. Elisha's reply, 'Go ye,' is the I AM urging you to act in faith, to construct a larger dwelling in your mind where more possibilities can reside. The community acts in unity, showing that expansion is a collective act of imagination and shared intention. To practice: identify a limit in your current sense of self, then imagine three beams from Jordan supporting a bigger inner room, aligning with the I AM until the space feels real.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes and assume you already dwell in a larger inner space; visually take a beam from the Jordan and lay it down in your mind, then stand in the expanded room and feel the ease.
