Inner Pardon and Turning

1 Samuel 15:24-25 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 1 Samuel 15 in context

Scripture Focus

24And Saul said unto Samuel, I have sinned: for I have transgressed the commandment of the LORD, and thy words: because I feared the people, and obeyed their voice.
25Now therefore, I pray thee, pardon my sin, and turn again with me, that I may worship the LORD.
1 Samuel 15:24-25

Biblical Context

Saul confesses that he sinned by transgressing the LORD’s command, driven by fear of the people, and asks Samuel to pardon him and return so he may worship.

Neville's Inner Vision

Saul’s words reveal not a history lesson but a state of consciousness. When he says I have sinned and that he transgressed the commandment, the meaning is not merely an old guilt but a recognition that alignment with the LORD’s command has been broken by a fearful, outward-directed impulse—the people’s voice. In Neville’s approach, the ‘I’ is the living God I AM inside, and conscience speaks as inner movement, not distant judgment. To say pardon my sin is to revise the inner assumption: I am no longer bound by fear of appearance or external leaders; I choose the inner reality that I AM the law. Turning with me that I may worship the LORD is a return to the inner sanctuary, a decision to dwell in awareness rather than in the reaction of circumstance. The final act of worship is inward devotion: touched by grace, affirmed as present truth, and lived as practical alignment in daily life.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: In a quiet moment, assume you are pardoned now. Rest in the feeling that you are in right relationship with God, and let the day flow from that inner state. When fear or crowd-pleasing voices arise, revise them by returning to I AM and the sense of worship within.
