Inner Anointing of Kingship
1 Samuel 15:1 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Samuel 15 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Samuel tells Saul that the LORD sent him to anoint him king over Israel, and urges Saul to heed the words of the LORD.
Neville's Inner Vision
In the inner theater, Samuel’s message is not history but a scene of your own consciousness. The LORD who sent him is the I AM that never leaves your side, the awareness that selects the throne of your thoughts. Saul is not a distant king but the posture of your will—ready to be directed by the voice that rises from within. The anointing, then, is not an oil upon a man but a realization that you are already crowned with authority in the kingdom of your mind. The command to hearken to the voice of the LORD becomes a discipline: you turn your attention from outer noise to the quiet, authoritative whisper of your higher self. When you imagine this scene, you align your feelings with the truth you seek, and the sense of separation dissolves into a felt unity with the divine I AM that rules your inner realm. Obedience here is fidelity to inner knowing, not external obligation.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Close your eyes and assume you are king in your inner kingdom. Feel the throne of awareness beneath you and listen for the inner voice guiding your next action.
