Ahab’s Inner Fall: Idolatry Exposed
1 Kings 21:25-26 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Kings 21 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verses describe Ahab, moved by Jezebel, as uniquely wicked for selling himself to idols. He imitates the Amorites in idol-worship.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within this stark record you hear the inner drama of a man who has consented to a false power. Ahab’s 'wickedness' arises not from distant acts alone, but from a state of consciousness that identifies with idols as if they were governing powers. Jezebel, in Neville’s terms, is the voice in your mind that stirs fear, appetite, and image-projection; she does not rule from without but stirs your own inner images into action. The idols the Amorites symbolize are not relics of ancient lands but entrenched beliefs and habits you have allowed to stand on the throne of your heart. The judgment spoken here invites you to notice where you have tacitly agreed that something other than the I AM can govern your life. The remedy is to awaken to a new state of consciousness in which you recognize that there is only one Reality, the I AM, and that you are its dwelling place. By refusing to identify with the counterfeit power and returning to true worship—aligned with your limitless life—you dissolve the ‘wickedness’ as a settled inner posture.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Sit quietly, repeat 'There is only one Power, the I AM,' and revise the scene by feeling you already worship in truth. See the idol's image dissolve as you align with the inner Self that governs all.
