Intercessory Prayer, Inner Path

1 Samuel 12:23-24 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 1 Samuel 12 in context

Scripture Focus

23Moreover as for me, God forbid that I should sin against the LORD in ceasing to pray for you: but I will teach you the good and the right way:
24Only fear the LORD, and serve him in truth with all your heart: for consider how great things he hath done for you.
1 Samuel 12:23-24

Biblical Context

Samuel vows not to sin by ceasing to pray for Israel, and instead commits to teaching the good and right way; he calls the people to fear the LORD and to serve Him with all their heart.

Neville's Inner Vision

In the Neville Goddard reading, this scene is your inner life. Samuel is the I AM within you refusing to stop praying for the good of your world. When he says he will teach you the good and the right way, he is telling you to fix your imagination on a path of truth and action. The fear of the LORD becomes not fear of punishment but an inner alignment—the moment when your thoughts, feelings, and decisions are governed by divine order. To serve Him in truth with all your heart is to live consistently with your deepest knowing of what is right, not by external rules but by the conviction that your inner state creates your outward conditions. Remember the things He hath done for you as a proof that the I AM guides you, and that continuation in this relation will reveal further good. Your intercession is the steady practice of staying conscious of that truth.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Assume the state of perpetual intercession—feel yourself always praying for others and guiding them in the good and right way. Close your eyes, breathe into that truth, and declare, I AM the teacher and servant of truth with all my heart.
