Elijah Within, Fear Without
1 Kings 18:13-14 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Kings 18 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Obadiah recounts hiding a hundred of the LORD's prophets and feeding them, then fears telling his lord that Elijah is present, lest he be slain.
Neville's Inner Vision
Obadiah’s confession is your inner scene. The hundred prophets are the inner inspirations you hid to keep faith alive; the cave is your quiet practice, bread and water its nourishment. The command to tell thy lord and the fear that follows—'he shall slay me'—are the old state clinging to safety. But in Neville’s teaching there is only awareness—the I AM you are—revealing itself as you align with it. Elijah is the inner impulse of inspiration arriving now. When you declare 'Elijah is here,' you acknowledge the I AM present and watch the outer world shift. Providence is your attentive, unseen motion, your perseverance to endure until the inner movement becomes outer reality. Trust this inner governance, and fear dissolves as you let the Elijah within stand fully revealed.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, assume the role of Obadiah guarding your inner prophets; feed them with bread and water, then affirm 'Elijah is here' and feel the I AM guiding you.
