Neville Goddard on 1 Samuel 12:10-11 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 1 Samuel 12 in context

Scripture Focus

10And they cried unto the LORD, and said, We have sinned, because we have forsaken the LORD, and have served Baalim and Ashtaroth: but now deliver us out of the hand of our enemies, and we will serve thee.

11And the LORD sent Jerubbaal, and Bedan, and Jephthah, and Samuel, and delivered you out of the hand of your enemies on every side, and ye dwelled safe.

1 Samuel 12:10-11

Biblical Context

They acknowledge they sinned by forsaking the LORD and serving other gods, and they cry for deliverance while pledging to serve Him. In response, God raises the deliverers and brings them to safety as their consciousness turns back to the LORD.

Neville's Inner Vision

Where you see a people crying, understand that the cry is your own turning of consciousness back to the I AM. The forsaking of the LORD and the worship of Baalim and Ashtaroth symbolize a moment when you believed in illusions of separation and power apart from your inner presence. When you confess and own that misalignment, the inner atmosphere shifts; God does not change the weather but reawakens the inner ruler—the awareness that you are one with the I AM. The deliverers named in the verse are inner faculties awakening: discernment, steadfastness, leadership, and guidance. These faculties rise as you return to the truth that you serve the living God within, not a distant deity. Your enemies on every side dissolve as fear resigns its throne and trust is restored. Thus you dwell safely because your state of consciousness has been reordered to align with its source. Practice this by assuming the feeling of the I AM acting in your life and revise any story of separation into a declaration of service to the One Presence.
