Inner Kings: Idolatrous Reign
1 Kings 22:51-53 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Kings 22 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Ahaziah began to reign in Samaria for two years. He did evil, following the patterns of his father, his mother, and Jeroboam, worshipping Baal and provoking the LORD.
Neville's Inner Vision
Ahaziah’s two-year reign is not a mere historical note, but a symbol of a mental season in which old idols govern the life. In this inner drama, Baal stands for the appetite for control, for wanting to mold life by worn rituals rather than by the I AM. The father, the mother, and Jeroboam point to inherited patterns—habits of belief that determine how the inner king rules. When such patterns rule, the outer world speaks of 'evil' or 'anger' as if reality were marching to the beat of idols. Yet the Lord God of Israel—the awareness behind all scenes—remains present, inviting a shift. To turn this brief reign into awakening, you must revise the inner ruler: claim the I AM as your sole governor. Repeat the assumption that you are the I AM, and let that awareness occupy the throne. As you feel the truth of your own divinity, the idol worship loses its traction and the so-called enemies of your peace dissolve. The reign then extends beyond two years, becoming a continuous sovereignty grounded in the single fact: you are the living I AM.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Close your eyes, rest in the I AM, and revise by declaring 'I am the I AM' ruling my inner kingdom. See idols as beliefs that can be dissolved by this felt sense; feel it real.
