Inner Counsel of the King
1 Chronicles 27:33-34 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Chronicles 27 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The passage presents the king surrounded by a changing circle of advisers—Ahithophel, then Hushai—and later Jehoiada and Abiathar, with Joab leading the army.
Neville's Inner Vision
In the temple of your mind, the king is the I AM, the living awareness that names and governs every moment. Ahithophel’s counsel is a swift, cunning thought; Hushai’s presence is a loyal, wavering companion; Jehoiada and Abiathar bring steady, priestly wisdom; Joab represents the dynamic energy that moves events in your inner kingdom. The scene is not historical drama but a tableau of states of consciousness contending for primacy. Your task is to hear these voices without letting fear or habit crown itself; rather, you allow the state that reflects your desired reality to speak the loudest and you revise the rest by assuming that inner state as real now. When your I AM governs, Joab’s action aligns with clarity, and the kingdom responds with order and dignity — the Kingdom of God becomes your lived experience, not a distant gold of prophecy. Observe the council, then choose the inner alignment that yields your chosen outcome, and the outer world follows suit as a mirror of your inner state.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, breathe deeply, and affirm, 'I am the King in my mind; I govern with divine wisdom.' See a council meeting where the voice that matches your desired outcome rises first and feel the certainty that your inner state is shaping reality.
