Solomon and the Inner I AM
1 Kings 11:3-4 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Kings 11 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Solomon's many wives drew his heart away from the LORD. In his old age, his heart followed other gods, and he failed to be as faithful as David.
Neville's Inner Vision
Solomon is your I AM, awake, but drawn outward by many attachments. The wives are not people but countless currents of desire that would have you seek fulfillment outside the self. As long as the heart leans toward these 'other gods,' the inner vision grows dim and the memory of David's faithful heart fades. Neville's method says: you do not change the world; you change the state you inhabit. Assume you are already one with God, that the I AM governs every thought and desire. Feel now the monitor of awareness returning to its original perfection; revise by saying, 'I am faithful to the LORD in me,' and imagine the heart turning toward true worship within. In that act, the outer pressures lose their grip, and the inner kingdom is restored to its rightful king.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and breathe into the I AM; imagine Solomon's 'wives' as distracting thoughts in the background. Then revise: 'I am one with the LORD in me,' feel the heart settling into perfect faith, and let this inner alignment govern your choices.
