Neville Goddard on 1 Chronicles 14:14-15 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 1 Chronicles 14 in context

Scripture Focus

14Therefore David enquired again of God; and God said unto him, Go not up after them; turn away from them, and come upon them over against the mulberry trees.

15And it shall be, when thou shalt hear a sound of going in the tops of the mulberry trees, that then thou shalt go out to battle: for God is gone forth before thee to smite the host of the Philistines.

1 Chronicles 14:14-15

Biblical Context

David seeks guidance and is told to wait and observe. When the sound in the mulberry trees signals, he should advance, for God goes before him.

Neville's Inner Vision

David sought guidance and was told to wait for an inner sign. The mulberry trees symbolize stable inner movements of perception where the I AM moves in you. When you quiet the outer clamor, a felt signal—like a sound in your imagination—arises, inviting you to step out. Obedience isn’t a grim rule but alignment: you do not charge ahead by will alone; you move as you sense the signal in consciousness, and God, your I AM, goes before you, shaping conditions and clearing the way. The phrase 'God is gone forth before thee' becomes a certainty within: the divine awareness is already at the forefront of your life, preparing outcomes through your state. So cultivate the interior listening, refuse to move until you are sure, and then act with calm assurance. This inner plan transforms battle into a demonstration of the kingdom within, where faith, trust, and faithful obedience guide every step.

Practice This Now

Before the next decision, close your eyes and declare: 'I am guided now by the sound in the tops of my inner trees.' Feel the certainty as if God has already gone before you, then act with quiet, confident steps.
