Inner War, Inner Healing

2 Kings 8:28-29 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 2 Kings 8 in context

Scripture Focus

28And he went with Joram the son of Ahab to the war against Hazael king of Syria in Ramothgilead; and the Syrians wounded Joram.
29And king Joram went back to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which the Syrians had given him at Ramah, when he fought against Hazael king of Syria. And Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to see Joram the son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he was sick.
2 Kings 8:28-29

Biblical Context

Joram goes to war against Syria, is wounded, and returns to Jezreel to be healed; Ahaziah travels to see him because he is sick.

Neville's Inner Vision

See how the surface story mirrors the inner drama of your awareness. The war against Hazael represents the clash of stubborn identifications in the mind, a belief that you are defined by struggle. Joram’s wound is not merely a bodily hurt but the moment when your attention has been diverted from the I AM, and your sense of self becomes temporarily broken. The cure occurs not in a physician of flesh but in a turning of attention back to the inner kingdom—Jezreel as the place where consciousness is renewed. When he returns to Jezreel to be healed, you are reminded that restoration flows from within, as you reoccupy the awareness that you are not the wound but the witness of the wound. The visit of Ahaziah, the other king, underscores the interdependent nature of states of consciousness: healing is witnessed, not isolated. The kingdom of God is within; the true healing is the restoration of aligned awareness—recognizing I AM as your only reality and the source of all restoration. In this light, the external events reveal internal movement: conflict resolves as consciousness remembers its oneness and sufficiency.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Assume the healed state now; revise the scene by declaring I AM whole, and feel the certainty of restoration dissolving the wound as light.
