Vanities Within, the Inner King

1 Kings 16:25-26 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 1 Kings 16 in context

Scripture Focus

25But Omri wrought evil in the eyes of the LORD, and did worse than all that were before him.
26For he walked in all the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and in his sin wherewith he made Israel to sin, to provoke the LORD God of Israel to anger with their vanities.
1 Kings 16:25-26

Biblical Context

Omri did evil in the eyes of the LORD, worse than those before him, by following Jeroboam's sinful path and leading Israel into vanities that provoked God.

Neville's Inner Vision

Omri stands for a state of consciousness that prizes external forms and imitates another’s pattern. When you walk in the way of Jeroboam, you imitate old images of success and security, and you turn worship into vanities that provoke the inner life to withdraw its blessing. The LORD is not a distant judge; the God of Israel is the I AM within you, the unchanging awareness that makes all appeared events aware of themselves. To imitate idols is to divide your attention, to let appearances rule your thoughts instead of the inner law. The result in your inner world is agitation, a sense of separation, and a decree of lack. The remedy is not punishment but revision: acknowledge the vanity as a false reflection and return to the original I AM, the single current of life that sustains you. In imagination, choose to see through the idols and align your decisions with divine order. By feeling as if the I AM is the sole governor of your thoughts, you will find that the outward scene shifts to reflect that unity. Omri's error becomes your invitation to reclaim sovereignty through inner alignment.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and notice any idol-like belief arising as a picture of lack. Revise by proclaiming I AM within me governs now, and feel the truth as real.
