Choosing States of Consciousness
1 Chronicles 21:10-12 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Chronicles 21 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
God presents David with three possible judgments and Gad relays the message; David must decide which fate will befall him, a choice carried within the inner realm as consequence in his outer life.
Neville's Inner Vision
In this passage, the three options are not distant punishments but three inner states you have allowed into your mind. famine represents a consciousness of scarcity, three months under the threat of foes signifies a perpetual fear-driven stance, and pestilence within mirrors inner unrest. The LORD speaking through Gad is the I AM within you offering a choice of states to inhabit, rather than a fixed destiny. When confronted with a threefold circumstance, you are invited to revise by shifting your assumed state. The true power lies in the state you decide to occupy until the next manifestation reveals itself. Obedience and faithfulness become the ongoing return to the awareness of your own divinity: I AM, here and now, aware of abundance, protection, and guidance. The tempo—three days, three months, three years—indicates pacing, not a sentence. By vividly imagining and holding a desired state, you align your inner and outer worlds, and the external conditions follow the inward conviction you have chosen to inhabit.
Practice This Now
Explore the inner states as choices: what if you deliberately assume a state of abundance, safety, and guidance right now? Assume it, feel it real, and hold that sensation for a few breaths to begin the revision.
