Presence of the Ark Within
1 Chronicles 15:29 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Chronicles 15 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Michal’s contempt reveals the inner critic that resists your rising state; the ark entering the city of David symbolizes the Presence of God within your life.
Neville's Inner Vision
Like all scripture, this scene is not about places but states. Michal despises David's dancing because a comfortable story about you cannot include the new state your imagination has awakened. The ark of the LORD is the inward ark, the I AM, the living presence that travels with you into the city of your heart. David dancing is your living imagination in full expression, aligned with the covenant loyalty that says, I belong to the Presence. Michal's window is the vantage of the old self watching the new state with critical eyes; her contempt is fear dressed as judgment. As the ark enters, your inner atmosphere shifts; true worship is not ritual but the spontaneous joy of aware being; it makes room for the Presence to rule. Judgment and accountability come not as punishment but as reminders that you are choosing a state. When you feel rejection, revise the inner scene by declaring, I am now the Presence, and my world responds accordingly. The effect is inner harmony that outwardly appears as faithful alignment with your true Self.
Practice This Now
Assume you are the ark, already in your city; feel the Presence filling your rooms. Silently revise the inner critic by affirming, I am Presence now.
