Inner Pause, Outer Outcomes

1 Kings 12:5 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 1 Kings 12 in context

Scripture Focus

5And he said unto them, Depart yet for three days, then come again to me. And the people departed.
1 Kings 12:5

Biblical Context

1 Kings 12:5 records a king's instruction to depart for three days before returning; it hints at a deliberate pause before action, a sequence Neville would teach as inner revision.

Neville's Inner Vision

Notice how the scene speaks not of time passing but of the I AM granting you space. The 'depart' and 'three days' are inner movements: step back from the crowd of outward concerns, let the mind cool, and listen to the still, inner intelligence that governs your life. The crowd—fears, plans, and desires—disperses when you stop feeding them with attention. Then 'come again to me' becomes an invitation to return to the scene with a new conviction, that the outcome is already settled in consciousness. In this light, obedience is not to a king but to your true self, to the one awareness that sees the end from the beginning. When you practice this pause, you are not denying action but aligning your inner state with the end you desire, so your next outward step flows from calm certainty rather than reaction. The inner time is real; you are reshaping your state by the act of choosing, revising, and feeling it real now.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: For three days, pause before reacting to outward events; imagine the end already realized and feel the I AM guiding your next action.
