Cities of Inner Dominion
1 Kings 9:19 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Kings 9 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Solomon’s verse lists his vast stores, chariots, horsemen, and building projects across Jerusalem, Lebanon, and all his lands, illustrating a broad earthly dominion.
Neville's Inner Vision
In Neville's keynote, these images become states of consciousness. The 'cities of store' are inner stores—treasures of memory, skill, and inspired idea you accumulate in the silent I AM. The 'cities for his chariots' and 'horsemen' signify energetic faculties you marshal—imagination, drive, and disciplined intention. Jerusalem and Lebanon stand as inner centers where plans are conceived; the 'land of his dominion' marks the territory of your awareness you cultivate with purpose. This is not mere wealth, but the expansion of your spiritual kingdom through conscious assumption. When you entertain the scene of enduring abundance and orderly power, you align with a living kingdom—the Kingdom of God within—where wealth and provision flow from your awareness rather than external circumstance. Stewardship here means tending these inner resources with devotion, letting your inner dominion extend across the landscape of your life through consistent, imaginative activity. The verse invites you to realize that you are the ruler of a vast, ready-to-claim realm inside you, awaiting conscious expansion.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Sit quietly, assume you already possess these inner stores; feel wealth, resources, and order filling your consciousness. Then declare inwardly, 'I am the I AM, and my dominion extends wherever I direct my attention.'
