Neville Goddard on 1 Kings 8:52-53 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 1 Kings 8 in context

Scripture Focus

52That thine eyes may be open unto the supplication of thy servant, and unto the supplication of thy people Israel, to hearken unto them in all that they call for unto thee.

53For thou didst separate them from among all the people of the earth, to be thine inheritance, as thou spakest by the hand of Moses thy servant, when thou broughtest our fathers out of Egypt, O LORD God.

1 Kings 8:52-53

Biblical Context

God listens to the prayers of the servant and Israel, who are described as God's chosen inheritance.

Neville's Inner Vision

See that the verse invites the I AM to turn its attentive heart toward your petition. In Neville’s language, Israel’s inheritance is not a parcel of land but a state of consciousness in which the caller knows they are already beloved and heard. The eyes opening to the supplication is your own awareness awakening to what you have assumed about yourself in God. When you dwell in the conviction that you are separated unto God, you release the sense of lack and let inner authority speak through you—the Moses hand becoming your determined word, the living I AM declaring creation as already done. The covenant rests not in the exactness of history but in the present feeling that the universe is responding to your acceptance. So your life becomes the effect of your inner posture: you are landed in God’s inheritance because you have chosen to be the beloved of the I AM.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly, declare I am the inheritance of God, and feel God listening. Allow the feeling that your petition is already granted to rise as a lived reality.
