Inner Vineyard of Imagination

1 Kings 21:2 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 1 Kings 21 in context

Scripture Focus

2And Ahab spake unto Naboth, saying, Give me thy vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs, because it is near unto my house: and I will give thee for it a better vineyard than it; or, if it seem good to thee, I will give thee the worth of it in money.
1 Kings 21:2

Biblical Context

Ahab asks Naboth for Naboth's vineyard, offering money or a bigger one, but Naboth refuses. The passage centers on the tension between desire, wealth, and the inner law of what one is allowed to possess.

Neville's Inner Vision

21:2 becomes an inner parable: Ahab’s demand is your outward wish to barter your inner garden for a grander show. Naboth is the fixed inner truth, the I AM that cannot be bought. The offer of a better vineyard or money is the mind’s way of substituting perception for reality, a misalignment with the law of your being. The scene tests whether you will trade integrity for compensation, whether you will measure abundance by worldly value instead of by the self-possessed sense of enough. When Naboth stands firm, it is your conscience asserting that the garden of your life is not negotiable with mere appearance. The outer scene mirrors your inner state: you are diagnosing your own hunger for control and status, and you can choose differently by turning away from bargaining and toward the conviction that the I AM provides. The true provision emerges when you revise the scene in imagination: claim the garden as already yours in consciousness, feel the security of justice, and let the garden manifest without compromise.

Practice This Now

Assume you already possess Naboth's vineyard in your consciousness. Feel the garden as your immediate state and revise any urge to barter with the I AM, then let abundance unfold.
