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.

2 Kings 7:19-20

Biblical Context

In 2 Kings 7:19-20, a skeptical official questions a miracle; the prophet asserts possibility, but the skeptic is crushed by the crowd and dies, illustrating how disbelief confronts revelation.

Neville's Inner Vision

The lord represents a stubborn state of consciousness doubting that heaven’s windows can pour forth into daily life. The man of God embodies your inner truth, the I AM awareness that knows all possibility. When the official asks, 'If the LORD should make windows in heaven, might such a thing be?', he projects lack; the reply, 'thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof,' is the inner movement indicating one can witness promise without ever revising the inner state. The crowd that treads the gate and the man's death symbolize how an unresolved belief can crush opportunity in action. Providence, however, operates through imagination and the alignment of belief with vision. If you dwell in mere inquiry rather than confident assumption, you may watch abundance arrive at the edge of your experience and yet not partake. The ironies of prophecy reveal this: truth unfolds when you stop resisting it with fear and instead live from the I AM, imagining the feast as your present fact.

Practice This Now

Assume: 'I am the I AM; abundance is now mine.' Close your eyes, see the feast before you, and feel yourself tasting it, as you declare it real in your next moment.
