Abundance Arrives Through Inner Word

2 Kings 7:16-20 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 2 Kings 7 in context

Scripture Focus

16And the people went out, and spoiled the tents of the Syrians. So a measure of fine flour was sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, according to the word of the LORD.
17And the king appointed the lord on whose hand he leaned to have the charge of the gate: and the people trode upon him in the gate, and he died, as the man of God had said, who spake when the king came down to him.
18And it came to pass as the man of God had spoken to the king, saying, Two measures of barley for a shekel, and a measure of fine flour for a shekel, shall be to morrow about this time in the gate of Samaria:
19And that lord answered the man of God, and said, Now, behold, if the LORD should make windows in heaven, might such a thing be? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof.
20And so it fell out unto him: for the people trode upon him in the gate, and he died.
2 Kings 7:16-20

Biblical Context

Famine ends as the Syrians flee and spoil their tents, yielding abundance. The gate official who doubted the prophecy dies, illustrating the cost of disbelief.

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider the scene as a mirror of your inner state. The tents of the Syrians, the price of bread, the gate—these are not external facts so much as symbols of your own consciousness under pressure. When the inner man of you accepts the promise—the two measures of barley, the fine flour for a shekel—conditions bend to your belief. The lord leaned on outward authority and spoke doubt; the crowd in the gate represents the pressure of your old belief system trampling the new consciousness. The prophet's word is not a forecast but a living state of awareness: 'abundance is the order of tomorrow.' The lord's fate demonstrates the law: you will witness the evidence that corresponds to your inner state, but you must not seek to partake until you have aligned with the vision. The true miracle is within: I AM, the awareness that never lacks, is the source. When you dwell in the feeling that supply is already yours, you move the scene from famine to feast by the power of imagination.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Sit quietly and assume the inner word is already true for you. Feel the sense of abundant nourishment flowing to you now, as if you were tasting the bread of tomorrow at this moment.
