Inner Covenant and Vision
1 Samuel 11:2 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Samuel 11 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Nahash's demand uses extreme injury as leverage, offering a treaty only through public humiliation. The verse frames this as a test of Israel's fear, unity, and accountability under pressure.
Neville's Inner Vision
This passage is a symbol of your inner dialogue when a 'threat' projects itself into your consciousness. Nahash represents a belief that your seeing, knowing, or identity can be taken from you by an external force. The “covenant” becomes a mental agreement you accept when you identify with fear rather than your I AM. When you fear persecution or loss, you unconsciously consent to a diminished inner sight, and the reproach—the public wound—manifests as limited perception in your life. The true work is to reject the condition of fear and to awaken to a state where your consciousness remains unchanged by external terms. See the eye not as a physical organ under threat, but as the symbol of your ability to discern and know yourself as the I AM. In this light, the moment becomes a choice: to contract under threat or to stand in the light of inner vision, claiming sovereignty over your sight and your destiny. By holding to the inner light, you dissolve the power of the threat and revive a clear, undimmed vision within.
Practice This Now
Practice this now: assume the state, ‘I am seeing clearly,’ and revise the scene from threat to light. Feel the I AM holding your inner vision firm as you gaze with certainty.
