Neville Goddard on 1 Kings 20:5-6 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 1 Kings 20 in context

Scripture Focus

5And the messengers came again, and said, Thus speaketh Benhadad, saying, Although I have sent unto thee, saying, Thou shalt deliver me thy silver, and thy gold, and thy wives, and thy children;

6Yet I will send my servants unto thee to morrow about this time, and they shall search thine house, and the houses of thy servants; and it shall be, that whatsoever is pleasant in thine eyes, they shall put it in their hand, and take it away.

1 Kings 20:5-6

Biblical Context

Messengers return with Benhadad's demand to surrender silver, gold, wives, and children, promising to search every house and seize whatever is pleasant to the eyes.

Neville's Inner Vision

Here the story is not a matter of a king's treasury pressing you to pay tribute, but a moment your own consciousness rehearses a demand. Benhadad's silver, gold, wives, and children are not outside facts; they are images your awareness has granted reality. The messengers and their threatening schedule reveal the habit of greed pressing its claim, the inner voice saying you must give up your richness or your security. The phrase they shall search thy house is the inner audit that asks, What are you secretly valuing as your true supply? And what is pleasant in thine eyes, those attachments to possession or identity, will be taken into view and seized by an unseen appetite. Yet this is not King's men invading your life, but your own imagination exposing the idolatry of condition. When you realize that you are the I AM, the awareness that does the looking, you can let the demand pass and replace it with the truth: abundance is a state of consciousness, not a harvest.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes and assume the I AM presence as your wealth; revise the scene so the demand dissolves and abundance feels real in you now.
