Inner War, Outer Kings Within
1 Kings 14:29-30 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Kings 14 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse notes that Rehoboam's deeds are recorded in chronicles, and that there was war with Jeroboam throughout their days. It presents an ongoing inner or external struggle between two authorities.
Neville's Inner Vision
Beloved, the two kings are not two men on a map but two states of consciousness contending within your mind. Rehoboam embodies the ruling, outward authority you identify with; Jeroboam embodies the counter-force—the doubt, fear, or impulse resisting the leading I AM you seek to inhabit. The chronicles are not dusty records but your memory bank of past identifications and deeds. The war that lasts all their days reveals the habitual conflict of two selves trying to govern the same inner land. In Neville's light, Providence is not a distant event but the ongoing awareness that you can rewrite the record from within. You can revise your inner identification by choosing a higher state, feeling it as real now, and allowing the old antagonist to align with your new kingdom. When you assume the I AM as the sole governor, the war dissolves as a natural consequence of restored inner unity.
Practice This Now
Sit quietly, close your eyes, and revise the inner record: 'I am the I AM, the sole governor of both kingdoms.' See Jeroboam bow to your ruling sense and feel the reality of the new state now.
