Dwelling Within: The Ark Inside
1 Chronicles 17:1-2 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Chronicles 17 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
David notes a contrast: his cedar house is ready, yet the ark remains hidden under curtains. The prophet’s word points to aligning what’s in the heart with God’s presence.
Neville's Inner Vision
David’s scene is your inner forecast. He sits in a cedar house and notices that the ark’s dwelling remains hidden under curtains—an inner reality that outward grandeur cannot reveal. The ark is not a distant object but the covenant I AM within you. When Nathan says, Do all that is in thine heart; for God is with thee, he points to aligning your inner state with the divine presence rather than merely constructing a temple. Your true temple is a consciousness that knows God dwells wherever you are aware of the I AM. The kingdom of God comes as your longing meets the felt truth of God’s nearness. To reinterpret this, assume you already live in the ark’s proximity: the ark and the tent are one, held apart only by your old view. Revise that view by feeling you are under the curtains of limitation and, through the power of assumption, pull back the curtain to reveal radiant presence.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume you are already in the ark’s presence; feel the I AM within you as your constant reality, and revise any sense of separation by dwelling in gratitude for God with you.
