Neville Goddard on 1 Chronicles 14:10-12 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 1 Chronicles 14 in context

Scripture Focus

10And David enquired of God, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? And wilt thou deliver them into mine hand? And the LORD said unto him, Go up; for I will deliver them into thine hand.

11So they came up to Baalperazim; and David smote them there. Then David said, God hath broken in upon mine enemies by mine hand like the breaking forth of waters: therefore they called the name of that place Baalperazim.

12And when they had left their gods there, David gave a commandment, and they were burned with fire.

1 Chronicles 14:10-12

Biblical Context

David seeks God's guidance before attacking the Philistines; God delivers him, he wins at Baal-perazim, and the idols of the enemies are burned.

Neville's Inner Vision

David’s question to God is the inner question you must pose to your I AM each time you face a measureless circumstance. The moment you ask, Shall I go up? and Will you deliver? you align your consciousness with the truth that you are already supported by the unseen. The Lord’s answer—Go up, for I will deliver—speaks to your assumption; act as if your deliverance is already secured. Baalperazim becomes not a place on a map but the instant of breakthrough—the breaking forth of waters in your mental landscape. As you leave behind the idols, you burn away false beliefs that dim your light. The victory is not won by force but by a state of consciousness you cultivate: feel it now, imagine the Philistine army dissolving, and see your world respond as if the promise is fulfilled. Your imagination is God’s instrument; through it, reality bends to your I AM.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Sit in stillness, ask your I AM, 'Shall I go up?' and imagine the answer coming as a vivid yes; feel the deliverance now and visually burn away any old idols that resist the light.
