Inner Revival of 1 Kings
1 Kings 17:23-24 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Kings 17 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Elijah revives the child and returns him to his mother; the mother proclaims that Elijah is a true man of God and that the word spoken by God through him is truth.
Neville's Inner Vision
All the figures on the page are inner states. Elijah represents the living Word that speaks through your I AM, and the child depicts vitality present in your consciousness. When the mother declares, 'now by this I know thou art a man of God,' she embodies the moment you accept that the word of the LORD in your mouth is truth. The revival of the child is not an event to be chased in time but a shift of consciousness in which life awakens to its own reality. The miracle is your decision to persist in a belief until it feels real; the I AM, speaking through your inner speech, bears witness to that truth. In Neville’s terms, you must assume a state and reside there until it becomes your experience. This is how imagination creates reality: you imagine the already-living life and dwell in the felt sense of it until the outer world aligns with the inner conviction. Practice: assume the life you desire and feel it as true now; let the inner word prove itself by your unfolding experience.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, place a hand on your chest, and say, 'Be alive in me now; I am life.' Hold that sensation until it feels real, then rest in the inner conviction and watch your world respond.
