Inner War and Kings Within
1 Kings 15:6-8 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Kings 15 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The text records a lifelong conflict between two kings, Rehoboam and Jeroboam, and notes Abijam's deeds and his death, followed by Asa's rise to the throne.
Neville's Inner Vision
In Neville's approach, the outer war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam represents the ongoing clash of rival states of consciousness within you. The line about the rest of Abijam's acts written in the chronicles becomes the inner script you carry in memory. Abijam's sleep with his fathers marks the closing of an old pattern, while Asa's ascent signals a new ruling state ready to emerge when you align with I AM—the true ruler within. The warfare is not merely external; it is the inner authority contesting with dissenting impulses. Remember that God is the I AM and that imagination creates reality. By recognizing the two rulers as parts of your own psyche, you can revise the inner narrative: there is a single, central authority you affirm now. Your inner Asa corresponds to a rising, peaceful reign that you claim through faithful attention to the I AM. In this light, the book of chronicles becomes your personal inner journal, a record you reinterpret until your inner king presides in love and clarity.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Sit quietly, declare 'I AM the ruler of this inner kingdom' and imagine Asa’s peaceful reign filling every chamber of your mind; feel the authority settling as the dominant state now.
