Inner Anointing, Divine Protection

1 Chronicles 16:19-22 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 1 Chronicles 16 in context

Scripture Focus

19When ye were but few, even a few, and strangers in it.
20And when they went from nation to nation, and from one kingdom to another people;
21He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes,
22Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.
1 Chronicles 16:19-22

Biblical Context

The verses recall God's protection of Israel when they were few and wanderers, and His defense of the anointed and His prophets from harm; they speak of inner safeguarding for those aligned with divine purpose.

Neville's Inner Vision

Imagine the scene not as a history of a people, but as a portrait of your inner self. When ye were but few, even a few, and strangers in it — this is your nascent consciousness, a small, new self learning to dwell within. And when they went from nation to nation, and from one kingdom to another people — these are the shifting moods of mind as you expand your inner territory. The text says He suffered no man to do them wrong — inner protection follows alignment with the I AM, your true awareness; He reproved kings for their sakes — the false authorities of fear and habit that would rule your thoughts. Saying, 'Touch not mine anointed', and do my prophets no harm — the inner boundary around the living image of God within you; the 'anointed' is your I AM, the seed of awakening, and 'my prophets' are your inner calls, insights, and promptings. When you guard them, you teach your outer world to respect your inner crown. Your inner king and prophet prosper as you abide in that consciousness, unseen yet sovereign.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes and breathe into the center of your chest. Assume the feeling that you are the anointed, protected by the I AM; silently declare 'Touch not mine anointed' and let that boundary feel real, while listening for your inner prophets with quiet trust.
