Imagination of the Heart
1 Chronicles 29:18 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Chronicles 29 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse is a petition to keep the community's devotional focus alive by maintaining the imagination of the heart toward God and preparing that heart for communion.
Neville's Inner Vision
In the Neville Goddard vein, this is not a plea for something external; it is a declaration of consciousness. Keep this image in the imagination of your heart—the field where you and your inner people converge in worship. When you imagine the 'thy people' as a unified sentiment of awareness anchored in the I AM, you are not begging God to act; you are choosing to sustain a state of mind. To 'prepare their heart unto thee' means to cultivate a disciplined receptivity, dissolving doubt and distraction so love and obedience flow from within. The act of keeping is an ongoing practice: renew this image daily, feed it with steady imagery, and dwell there until thought, feeling, and sense of God become one. As you persist, the imagination becomes the very place where true worship is born—where faith is trust and obedience is the living expression of the I AM in you.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume the feeling of your heart already prepared unto God; affirm that your inner community is steadfast and aligned with divine intention. Silently revise your day with the statement 'My heart is prepared unto Thee' and let that felt sense saturate every thought.
