Neville Goddard on 1 Chronicles 22:18-19 - 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.

19Now set your heart and your soul to seek the LORD your God; arise therefore, and build ye the sanctuary of the LORD God, to bring the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and the holy vessels of God, into the house that is to be built to the name of the LORD.

1 Chronicles 22:18-19

Biblical Context

God is with you and has given rest on every side. The command is to set your heart to seek the LORD and to build a sanctuary where His presence dwells.

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of the verse as a statement about your inner life. Is not the LORD your God with you? That is your I AM, the self-aware presence that never leaves. The rest given on every side is your mind’s settled peace when you consent to that presence and stop seeking elsewhere. The land subdued before the LORD and His people is the mental field yielded to divine order—where fear, doubt, and noise bow to quiet certainty. Now set your heart and your soul to seek the LORD your God; arise therefore, and build ye the sanctuary of the LORD God. This is not a temple of stone, but the inner sanctuary where attention is trained, where you live from the truth you insist upon. To bring the ark of the covenant into the house is to invite unwavering truth, the law of consciousness, into your daily life; the house you build is the shape your life takes when named for the LORD. When you dare to dwell in this state, you awaken the power that changes conditions.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Assume the state 'I AM with God; I rest in His presence' and feel it as your baseline. Visualize building an inner sanctuary in your chest where the ark of covenant rests, and let every action flow from that sanctuary.
