Stand and See the Inner Thunder

1 Samuel 12:16-17 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 1 Samuel 12 in context

Scripture Focus

16Now therefore stand and see this great thing, which the LORD will do before your eyes.
17Is it not wheat harvest to day? I will call unto the LORD, and he shall send thunder and rain; that ye may perceive and see that your wickedness is great, which ye have done in the sight of the LORD, in asking you a king.
1 Samuel 12:16-17

Biblical Context

Samuel tells Israel to witness the Lord's forthcoming act as a sign, and by calling on the Lord he will send thunder and rain to reveal their wickedness in asking for a king.

Neville's Inner Vision

Stand back from the outward scene and listen to the inner lesson. Samuel’s statement that the Lord will do this great thing before your eyes is not a meteorology report but a summons to awareness. The wheat harvest and the thunder and rain are symbolic movements within consciousness that reveal what you truly believe about power and right use. The people’s request for a king is a desire to anchor life in a future self rather than in the I AM here and now; the wickedness is the misalignment between your present state of mind and your true, undivided awareness. The sign of thunder and rain becomes the felt demonstration that your present inner state creates your experienced world. When you stand and observe, you are asked to awaken to the possibility that God’s kingdom is not a distant day but the sovereignty of your own mind. The call to revise is a call to shift your stance, to relinquish the old separation, and to assume a new state of kingly consciousness where you reign as the I AM.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Assume the I AM as ruler of your life and revise your sense of lack; feel it real by imagining thunder and rain as inner clarity breaking old beliefs and revealing the Kingdom already within.
