Inner Labor, Outer Kingdom
1 Kings 5:15 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Kings 5 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Solomon organized a vast workforce, with many bearing burdens and others hewing stones in the mountains.
Neville's Inner Vision
In the inner temple of your consciousness, the numbers are not idle counts but activities of mind. The 70,000 who bear burdens are the thoughts you permit to press upon you; the 80,000 hewers in the mountains are the crafts by which you shape forms. Solomon represents a state of consciousness that orders and provisions a kingdom; wealth appears as inner order and provision. When you identify with the I AM, you stand as sovereign, directing both burdens and craft within your inner landscape. Your labor is not punishment but the discipline by which you arrange your inner environment. Feel the energy of burdens and crafts as your attention, and watch it rise into a stable inner temple. The kingdom of God grows not by force but by aligning your assumed state with the world you witness. To practice, revise any sense of lack by assuming fullness and order, permitting the inner workers to complete the structures you desire.
Practice This Now
Assume the role of the I AM ruling your inner kingdom. Feel 70,000 burdens being borne as you release fear, and see 80,000 mountain-hewers carving your inner temple; let inner provision flow as certainty.
