David's Shields to Jerusalem
1 Chronicles 18:7 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Chronicles 18 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
David took the shields of gold from Hadarezer's servants and brought them to Jerusalem, symbolizing claiming wealth from the outside world and placing it within the heart of his kingdom.
Neville's Inner Vision
Your inner life is the kingdom; the shields of gold are wealth as energy available to your state of awareness. Hadarezer's servants are the outer fears and counterfeit powers that seem to hold you in check. When David, the awakened mind, takes those shields, he is not stealing from others but reclaiming what is rightfully yours as sovereign presence. Bringing them to Jerusalem means placing abundance at the center—the seat of peace, now. Jerusalem is the living arrangement of consciousness, where divine order is remembered as present. The act is a practice: acknowledge wealth as an expression of your I AM, revise any sense of lack, and feel the riches as already yours. The kingdom of God emerges when your inner state aligns with the belief that wealth follows the kingly rule within. As you maintain this posture, the material signs will reflect your inner posture: provision, protection, and steady energy for your vision.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and imagine lifting the gold shields from the outer world, carrying them into your inner Jerusalem. Then feel the conviction, I reign in abundance, becoming real.
