Inner Gilgal: Renewal of Consciousness
1 Samuel 11:14-15 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Samuel 11 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Samuel invites all to Gilgal to renew the kingdom, signaling an inner renewal of your sovereign state of consciousness. The ceremony of offerings symbolizes inner harmony and the establishment of divine rule within.
Neville's Inner Vision
Gilgal in this reading is the inner sanctuary where you renew the sovereignty of your mind. The people map states of consciousness; Samuel's invitation to go to Gilgal is a shift of attention, a turning of your awareness toward a this-day recognized kingship—the I AM within you that rules with wisdom. When it says they made Saul king before the LORD in Gilgal, it is not about a historical ceremony but an inner acknowledgment that your sense of self is governed by divine authority now. The sacrifices of peace offerings are not ritual meat but inner harmonies—grace-filled thoughts, gratitude, and peaceful desires offered in the presence of the LORD, your awareness. And the rejoicing is the natural fruit of a consciousness that has affirmed itself as king, free from inner mutiny. You do not conjure a distant crown; you awaken to the fact that the kingdom you seek is already established in the soul that knows I AM. Practice daily: refuse to concede lack, assume the feeling of rightful dominion, and let peace and joy rise as the very evidence of your reign.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Sit quietly, close your eyes, and declare, 'I AM king of my mind now.' Feel the reigning presence, accept the I AM as your permanent governor, and let peace and joy rise as evidence.
