Valley and Hill: Inner Deliverance
1 Kings 20:27-29 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Kings 20 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Israel is outnumbered and encamped, but a word from God declares the LORD’s power over all places, not just hills. On the seventh day, the battle turns and the people win.
Neville's Inner Vision
View the scene as a vivid inner drama: the encamped hosts are your thoughts crowding in from every side, and the valleys represent a belief about where God operates. The man of God who speaks 'Thus saith the LORD' is your higher I AM, the inner voice that reminds you power is not restricted to hills but is present wherever you resist fear. When you accept the I AM as everywhere, the siege dissolves, not by external swords but by aligning imagination with truth. The seven days mirror patient attention until fear yields to faith; on the seventh day the mind moves from contraction to expansion and the apparent multitude is mastered by a single, clear inner word. The promise 'ye shall know that I am the LORD' becomes experiential certainty: God is the I AM within you, sovereign in every place you inhabit. Your deliverance is the awakening to this fact, dissolving boundaries as you embody the truth of who you are.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Assume the I AM is the LORD of your valleys too. In a brief, quiet moment, say 'The LORD is God of all places within me,' and feel that conviction saturate your chest as the inner crowd settles into peace.
