Neville Goddard on 1 Chronicles 17:7-8 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 1 Chronicles 17 in context

Scripture Focus

7Now therefore thus shalt thou say unto my servant David, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I took thee from the sheepcote, even from following the sheep, that thou shouldest be ruler over my people Israel:

8And I have been with thee whithersoever thou hast walked, and have cut off all thine enemies from before thee, and have made thee a name like the name of the great men that are in the earth.

1 Chronicles 17:7-8

Biblical Context

The Lord declares David's rise from the sheepfold to ruler over Israel. He promises His constant presence and the removal of all enemies before him.

Neville's Inner Vision

Remember you are David in the inner scene. The sheepfold is the modest, limited sense of self; the call to rule is consciousness waking to itself. The LORD's word to David is the statement of your own I AM: you have been taken from the background into the throne of your life. This is not about external politics but about the shift of identity from fear to dominion. The promise that God has been with you wherever you walked is the assurance that your awareness now operates as the ruling principle--your state of consciousness remains constant, and no enemy can stand before an inner man who knows who he is. When you entertain this vision, you are not forcing outcomes; you are aligning with your true nature, letting the inner shift unfold as you dwell in the felt sense of the I AM. Practice: repeat, feel, and imagine yourself as already seated in kingship within, and the images of limitation recede as you act from presence rather than circumstance.
