Reigning Inside Naboth's Vineyard

1 Kings 21:6-7 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 1 Kings 21 in context

Scripture Focus

6And he said unto her, Because I spake unto Naboth the Jezreelite, and said unto him, Give me thy vineyard for money; or else, if it please thee, I will give thee another vineyard for it: and he answered, I will not give thee my vineyard.
7And Jezebel his wife said unto him, Dost thou now govern the kingdom of Israel? arise, and eat bread, and let thine heart be merry: I will give thee the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.
1 Kings 21:6-7

Biblical Context

Jezebel manipulates to take Naboth’s vineyard. Naboth refuses, and Jezebel schemes to seize it.

Neville's Inner Vision

Jezebel's plot is the mind's temptation to rule by force, leaping from lack to possession by image alone. The vineyard represents a state you desire to embody, and Naboth's steadfast refusal mirrors the conscience within you that will not concede inner authority for convenience. Jezebel asks you to imagine you govern the kingdom of Israel by outward plot, urging quick possession while dismissing the inner law. When you respond by chasing an apparent ease or pretending abundance, you entertain counterfeit prosperity that cannot fulfill. The true governor is the I AM within you, the king who reigns over your entire inner world. The law is simple: outer schemes cannot override a state you have already assumed in consciousness. So revise the scene in your mind until your sense of possession feels natural and complete. Rest in the awareness that you already possess this vineyard as your inner state, and let the heart be merry from inner certainty, not from external manipulation.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Close your eyes and revise the scene until the vineyard feels already yours; feel the soil, hear your inner king declare I AM the governor of this inner kingdom.
