Inner Return From 1 Samuel 12:10
1 Samuel 12:10 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Samuel 12 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
People confess they sinned by forsaking the LORD and serving idols, then petition for deliverance while pledging renewed obedience. This is an inner turning from old loyalties back to the one true I AM within.
Neville's Inner Vision
Verse 12:10 invites you to see repentance as a turning of consciousness, not a ritual of outer obedience. The cry, 'We have sinned,' is the acknowledgment that you wandered from the I AM and worshipped Baalim and Ashtaroth—the inner idols of fear, desire, and habit. Yet the plea for deliverance contains a decisive switch: 'we will serve thee.' In this reading, the enemies are not armies but the stubborn beliefs that your good is separate from your own awareness. When you hear this inner confession, you are being called back to the LORD within, the I AM that never left you. Deliverance comes not from an external rescuer but from the inner decision to return your allegiance to the one God of consciousness. As you re-vow to serve the LORD, you align your scenes, sensations, and thoughts with the truth that you are indeed united with the divine life. The kingdom you seek exists wherever your attention rests—in the awareness that you are, here, now, the very presence that overcomes every appearing foe.
Practice This Now
Assume you have already delivered yourself: revise the moment by saying, 'I now return to the I AM and serve only this God within.' Feel it as real—breathing in a warm, confident certainty that your enemies dissolve in consciousness.
