Read 2 Kings 6 in context

Scripture Focus

32But Elisha sat in his house, and the elders sat with him; and the king sent a man from before him: but ere the messenger came to him, he said to the elders, See ye how this son of a murderer hath sent to take away mine head? look, when the messenger cometh, shut the door, and hold him fast at the door: is not the sound of his master's feet behind him?

33And while he yet talked with them, behold, the messenger came down unto him: and he said, Behold, this evil is of the LORD; what should I wait for the LORD any longer?

2 Kings 6:32-33

Biblical Context

Elisha and the elders are gathered when a king's messenger arrives to seize him. He urges they shut the door, and the passage centers on the idea that this 'evil' is tied to the LORD, provoking the question of waiting for God’s timing.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Neville's voice: You are the I AM, the awareness behind every event. The scene in 2 Kings is a vivid map of your inner state; the 'evil' Elisha calls out is not a catastrophe handed to you from without but the pressure of a thought that has its roots in your mind's habit of waiting for some future fulfillment. The elders and Elisha are inside the same room of consciousness; the king's messenger is a voice that demands your attention and tries to pull you into fear. When Elisha tells them to shut the door, he teaches you to close the door on the accusatory drama and to keep your attention on the steady presence of I AM. The line 'this evil is of the LORD' can be understood as 'this state arose within your awareness to call forth a conscious decision.' Do not chase an external cause; revise your assumption about timing. The question 'what should I wait for the LORD any longer?' becomes an invitation to stop waiting for a sign and to affirm the Lord's presence now. Stay in quiet awareness and assume a state that life is guided by Providence. The door you shut guards your freedom; your next move comes from the inner conviction that the I AM is acting through you, here and now.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and recall a current fear. In present-tense, declare: I am the I AM; this situation is now under Providence; I revise it by assuming the end I desire and feeling it real now.
