Renewal at Gilgal: Inner Kingship

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this text the inner believer discovers that the 'salvation' spoken in Saul’s day is the recognition of a state already achieved in consciousness. The man Saul stands for a dominant idea, the sense of I-beholding-itself as ruler over circumstance. When he declares that no one shall be put to death because the LORD hath wrought salvation, he names the moment when you, as awareness, refuse death to any part of your life and accept the full validity of your invincible I AM. Gilgal is not a place on a map but a mental station, where you renew the kingdom by shifting allegiance from fear to faith in the living presence within. Samuel’s invitation is the quiet discipline of revision: let us go to Gilgal and consciously re-establish the reigning idea. The peace offerings symbolize gratitude and harmony between faculties—the mind rejoicing with the heart, the inner governor rejoicing in alignment. When all the people rejoice at the renewal, it is your inner state celebrating that the kingdom is not coming but here, not later but now. The passage invites you to displace old kings with the living, ruling consciousness that truly saves.
