The Inner Word to Elijah
1 Kings 21:28 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Kings 21 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
God speaks to Elijah, announcing a message. This scene shows divine communication moving through a present moment, inviting action.
Neville's Inner Vision
To Neville, the scene is your inner awakening: the word of the LORD coming to Elijah is the I AM turning toward itself with a directive. Elijah's posture—humble, present—shows that divine communication requires inner quiet. The 'saying' is not a distant decree but a bold revision of your sense of self, declaring your vocation in this moment. When you allow the inner word to speak, you recognize God as the I AM within— the presence that breathes your next step into being. Prophecy, then, is a present tense act: you revise your self-conception to fit the promise, and the outer world starts to echo the inner intention. Humility unlocks the channel; the word comes as you listen with quiet expectancy and commit to the work that your inner message confirms as true. The kingdom is not somewhere else; it is the awareness you claim here and now.
Practice This Now
Practice: in a moment of quiet, assume the inner word is speaking to you now. Say, "I am the word of the LORD to myself; I listen, I accept, I act on this present divine guidance," and write the first directive that comes.
