Scripture Focus

18And when they came down to him, Elisha prayed unto the LORD, and said, Smite this people, I pray thee, with blindness. And he smote them with blindness according to the word of Elisha.

19And Elisha said unto them, This is not the way, neither is this the city: follow me, and I will bring you to the man whom ye seek. But he led them to Samaria.

2 Kings 6:18-19

Biblical Context

Elisha prays for blindness on the pursuing army and then leads them to Samaria. The scene shifts from threat to mercy, showing how inner perception can be redirected.

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of the army as a projection of a restless state seeking to control your sense of self. The blindness is not punishment but a temporary reorientation, a deliberate shift of perception so that the usual sight can be corrected by the I AM within. Elisha, the living I AM in action, prays and commands a change of state; by asking for blindness, you claim authority over the appearance without crushing it. The act of leading them to Samaria embodies bringing that misperceived energy to the center of consciousness, the inner capital where decisions are made. When he says this is not the way, neither is this the city, he reveals that the external map is not the final reality; you must follow the inner guide to the one you seek—the God in you, your true seeing. Mercy disarms judgment; what you once called enemy is a signal to awaken, and the scene becomes a doorway into the kingdom you already are.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Assume the role of the guide within you. Close your eyes, breathe, and declare I AM the one who leads every fear to the center of consciousness; mentally walk the pursuing energy to Samaria and witness your perception shift.
