Ramah Inner Alliances Unveiled

1 Kings 15:17-21 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 1 Kings 15 in context

Scripture Focus

17And Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah, and built Ramah, that he might not suffer any to go out or come in to Asa king of Judah.
18Then Asa took all the silver and the gold that were left in the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king's house, and delivered them into the hand of his servants: and king Asa sent them to Benhadad, the son of Tabrimon, the son of Hezion, king of Syria, that dwelt at Damascus, saying,
19There is a league between me and thee, and between my father and thy father: behold, I have sent unto thee a present of silver and gold; come and break thy league with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart from me.
20So Benhadad hearkened unto king Asa, and sent the captains of the hosts which he had against the cities of Israel, and smote Ijon, and Dan, and Abelbethmaachah, and all Cinneroth, with all the land of Naphtali.
21And it came to pass, when Baasha heard thereof, that he left off building of Ramah, and dwelt in Tirzah.
1 Kings 15:17-21

Biblical Context

Baasha attacks Judah and builds Ramah to trap entry. Asa gathers the remaining treasures and sends them to Benhadad in Syria to break Baasha's league, and Benhadad wins, forcing Baasha to retreat.

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through Neville's lens, this scene is not about kings and cities but about states of mind. Baasha is the stubborn fear that would seal you in by cutting off all exit and entry to your good. Ramah is the boundary you have drawn in your own consciousness, a pretend gatekeeping that says neither can come or go until you possess enough power. Asa is the decision in your I am to redraw the currency of your inner world: you take the silver and gold of your inner riches—the trained attention, the memory of good, the hopeful images—and place them in the hands of a trusted inner ally, Benhadad, the imagined power that seems stronger than the old fear. You tell this ally to break the league with Baasha, to dissolve the old pattern. When you stand in faith that the alliance can be altered from within, that inner force moves and the external scene shifts: Ramah ceases construction; Tirzah becomes the new quiet place where doors open instead of being barred. The whole drama becomes a demonstration that your inner state creates your outer arrangements.

Practice This Now

Assume the inner state you desire as already true: I am free of the old fear and its blocks. Practice by revising the scene in your mind until you feel the gates open and the path forward clear.
