Inner Anointing Awakens Kingship
1 Samuel 16:11-13 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Samuel 16 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Samuel asks if all thy children are present; Jesse mentions the youngest, David, tending sheep. David is brought in, anointed by Samuel, and the Spirit of the LORD comes upon him from that day forward.
Neville's Inner Vision
In Neville’s reading, David is the hidden state of consciousness within you, the still, shepherding mind quietly tending its thoughts. When Samuel questions the lineage, it reveals that true sovereignty does not emerge from outward rank but from an inner call. The anointing is the moment the I AM in you declares, Arise, for this is the one. The horn of oil symbolizes a decisive imprint upon your consciousness—the immutable idea that you are the response to God’s presence. When the Spirit of the LORD comes upon David, it marks the activation of a new energy within you, a shift of identity from the old self to the royal center that now speaks and acts with authority. The ruddy, beautiful countenance points to a vitality of awareness that radiates clarity and courage. In Neville’s terms, the kingdom exists as a state of consciousness; the outward scene merely mirrors the inward decree. Let this scene remind you that the inner decree, not external appearances, establishes your throne. The chosen one is you, and the Spirit moves in you now, unceasingly nourishing your ascent.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume the state of being chosen by the I AM. Feel the oil of Spirit being poured over your head and rest in the conviction that you are divinely authorized to act now.
