Light Always Before Me: Inner Kingship

1 Kings 11:36-39 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 1 Kings 11 in context

Scripture Focus

36And unto his son will I give one tribe, that David my servant may have a light alway before me in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen me to put my name there.
37And I will take thee, and thou shalt reign according to all that thy soul desireth, and shalt be king over Israel.
38And it shall be, if thou wilt hearken unto all that I command thee, and wilt walk in my ways, and do that is right in my sight, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as David my servant did; that I will be with thee, and build thee a sure house, as I built for David, and will give Israel unto thee.
39And I will for this afflict the seed of David, but not for ever.
1 Kings 11:36-39

Biblical Context

God promises Solomon's heir one tribe and a perpetual light before Him in Jerusalem. If he hearkens to God's commands as David did, God will be with him and establish his rule, though the house of David may endure affliction for a season.

Neville's Inner Vision

Your inner text says the kingdom is not outside you but within. Jerusalem is the dwelling place of your awareness, and the light alway before me is the constant I AM shining through your days. The son who will reign is your higher self, trained by obedience to the inner commands of love, integrity, and steadfastness. When you heed the inner law and walk in its ways, you invite the divine presence to be with you and to build a solid inner house, as it did for David. The outward affliction of the seed of David is but a refining season for old identifications, not a final verdict on your kingship. The covenant is your decision to let consciousness reign, here and now. In that moment, the entire kingdom of your inner life is secured by awareness itself; you become the living temple whose name rests in the inner city of your heart.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and feel the I AM ruling your inner Jerusalem now. Repeat softly I AM the light before me; I govern my inner tribe with peace and truth, here and now.
