Thunder, Fear, and Inner Faith
1 Samuel 12:18 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Samuel 12 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Samuel calls on the LORD; the LORD sends thunder and rain that day, and the people greatly fear the LORD and Samuel.
Neville's Inner Vision
When Samuel called upon the LORD, the thunder and rain emerge as a movement in consciousness, not a punishment from above. The fear that grips the people is a signal of old identifications clinging to outward appearance. In Neville's terms, the scene tests your senses to reveal what you truly ARE—the I AM aware of all events. The storm is an inner weather pattern showing you how your thoughts, beliefs, and identifications sway your experience. By invoking the I AM within, you do not beg for change but align with the state that already exists as reality in consciousness. As you dwell in that awareness, imagine the same power at work in you—quiet certainty, reverence, and a trust that what you petition is already established in you. The fear that once ruled becomes a reverence that supports your creation, and your life follows the witness of your own awakened state.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume the state that the storm represents—your prayer answered now. Say I AM and feel the inner thunder calm into trust, letting fear dissolve into reverent awe.
