Neville Goddard on 1 Kings 20:14-15 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 1 Kings 20 in context

Scripture Focus

14And Ahab said, By whom? And he said, Thus saith the LORD, Even by the young men of the princes of the provinces. Then he said, Who shall order the battle? And he answered, Thou.

15Then he numbered the young men of the princes of the provinces, and they were two hundred and thirty two: and after them he numbered all the people, even all the children of Israel, being seven thousand.

1 Kings 20:14-15

Biblical Context

Ahab asks who will lead the battle; the LORD replies that it will be through the young men of the provincial princes, and the plan is set by one who answers, 'Thou.' The text then lists 232 young princes and 7,000 Israelites as the assembled force.

Neville's Inner Vision

The inner scene is the true battlefield; the LORD’s word through the 'young men' represents fresh facets of consciousness ordered by your assumption. The 'Thou' who orders the battle is your I AM, the commanding principle you align with. The numbers—232 and 7,000—symbolize the resources brought forth by steadfast belief and single-minded purpose. When you assent to being the commander and declare the outcome from within, you mobilize inner faculties and align circumstances to your inner decree. The Kingdom of God becomes the intelligent governing state of your mind, not an external event. Your task is to hold one clear, unshakable assumption about the result and feel it as now; let the illusion of hesitation fall away as the inner government marches your life into harmony.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, anchor in I AM, and declare, 'I am in command of this situation.' Feel the inner army moving as if the outer scene is already in alignment with your decree.
