Neville Goddard on Nehemiah 2:7-8 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Nehemiah 2 in context

Scripture Focus

7Moreover I said unto the king, If it please the king, let letters be given me to the governors beyond the river, that they may convey me over till I come into Judah;

8And a letter unto Asaph the keeper of the king's forest, that he may give me timber to make beams for the gates of the palace which appertained to the house, and for the wall of the city, and for the house that I shall enter into. And the king granted me, according to the good hand of my God upon me.

Nehemiah 2:7-8

Biblical Context

Nehemiah asks the king for safe passage and timber to rebuild the city, and the king grants it because the hand of God is upon him.

Neville's Inner Vision

Behold the scene as inner reality. Nehemiah did not merely petition a mortal king; he aligned his desire with the good hand of his God, the I AM within. The letters he requested are not just parchments but the form your inner state takes when you intend your path. You, too, are free to ask the 'governors beyond the river' for passage and provision, because the realm of circumstance is but an outward sign of your inner assumption. When you desire timber, you are naming the beam of your future, the gates and walls you shall pass through in consciousness. As soon as the wish is voiced in the imagination sincerely, the imprimatur of the divine mind appears: the king grants according to the good hand of God upon me. Notice how the outer world yields in proportion to your inner conviction. Do not look for evidence in the outside; let the inner state be evidence. Your supply and safe passage come from within, where God is always present as I AM, and imagination is the instrument by which you receive.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and imagine you already possess the king's letters and the timber. Feel the good hand of God upon you as you declare your destination and move forward in faith.
