Neville Goddard on 1 Chronicles 22:18 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 1 Chronicles 22 in context

Scripture Focus

18Is not the LORD your God with you? and hath he not given you rest on every side? for he hath given the inhabitants of the land into mine hand; and the land is subdued before the LORD, and before his people.

1 Chronicles 22:18

Biblical Context

The verse affirms that the Lord is with you and that you have rest on every side, with the land and its inhabitants submitted before the LORD and his people.

Neville's Inner Vision

Imagine that the LORD is the I AM that dwells as your awareness. The question asks you to awaken to the truth that you are already accompanied by this presence. Rest on every side is not a future event but a state of consciousness you can assume now: a still, assured center within that quiets every outward push of circumstance. When you acknowledge that the land's inhabitants—your fears, doubts, old habits—have been given into your hand, you are practicing the art of ruling your inner country with calm authority. Subduing the land before the LORD and his people becomes the inner victory of aligning every department of life with divine order: thoughts, feelings, body, actions, relationships. The verse invites you to see the entire field of life as already subdued by the truth of your I AM presence, a covenant of loyalty between God and your awakened consciousness. In this light, prosperity and peace are not distant rewards but the natural state of your inner kingdom.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, breathe into the center of your chest, and repeat 'God is with me now; I rest on every side.' Then picture your life as a calm, orderly land where every fear and old habit bows to the I AM presence.
