Neville Goddard on 2 Kings 8:1 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Kings 8 in context

Scripture Focus

1Then spake Elisha unto the woman, whose son he had restored to life, saying, Arise, and go thou and thine household, and sojourn wheresoever thou canst sojourn: for the LORD hath called for a famine; and it shall also come upon the land seven years.

2 Kings 8:1

Biblical Context

Elisha tells a famine-stricken woman to arise, take her household, and go to a place where they may dwell for seven years, for the Lord has called a famine on the land.

Neville's Inner Vision

I tell you, the famine Elisha declares is not a weather event in the outer land but a turning of your inner weather. The command to arise and depart is the practical whisper of your I AM, prompting you to move your attention from a leaning toward lack to a dwelling in sufficiency. When you hear that the LORD has called for a famine, you are invited to notice that the decree is already finished in consciousness, you are merely asked to step into a different atmosphere within. The seven years symbolize a completed cycle of belief and its effect in your life; you may walk through each day with the feeling that you are not bound to the old state, that you can sojourn anywhere your imagination chooses. The woman's obedience mirrors the inward discipline of consent: to imagine the end from the end, to live in the end of abundance, and let the outer land catch up to the interior reality.

Practice This Now

Assume you are already dwelling in the land you desire; feel the warmth of abundance as present reality. If lack surfaces, revise it by affirming I am now in the place I chose, and the famine is over.
