Small Forces, Great Victory Within

1 Kings 20:19-21 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 1 Kings 20 in context

Scripture Focus

19So these young men of the princes of the provinces came out of the city, and the army which followed them.
20And they slew every one his man: and the Syrians fled; and Israel pursued them: and Benhadad the king of Syria escaped on an horse with the horsemen.
21And the king of Israel went out, and smote the horses and chariots, and slew the Syrians with a great slaughter.
1 Kings 20:19-21

Biblical Context

In 1 Kings 20:19-21, a small contingent moves out, defeats the opposing army, and Israel presses the victory; the outer triumph mirrors a decisive inner alignment.

Neville's Inner Vision

All the world you see is the echo of your inner states. The young men of the provinces are your minute acts of faith; the army that follows represents the persistent thoughts moving in your consciousness toward an end you have already chosen. The defeat of the Syrians is your fear dissolving as you refuse to speculate on lack and instead press in with the conviction that the end is accomplished in you. Benhadad’s escape on horse and horsemen is the lingering thought of danger slipping away when the primary I AM asserts its proximity and authority. When the king of Israel goes out and smites the horses and chariots, this is your decision to act from the realized state, to strike at seeming impediments and to overcome them with the awareness that you have already won. The great slaughter is the clearing of noise, the alignment of vitality with purpose. This chapter invites you to recognize that the victory is not something to reach, but to awaken within.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly and reaffirm the end you intend to see manifest. As you repeat 'I AM victorious now,' feel the inner victory as a present fact, and revise any image of struggle until it yields.
