Inner Anointing Awakens Kingship

1 Samuel 16:11-13 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 1 Samuel 16 in context

Scripture Focus

11And Samuel said unto Jesse, Are here all thy children? And he said, There remaineth yet the youngest, and, behold, he keepeth the sheep. And Samuel said unto Jesse, Send and fetch him: for we will not sit down till he come hither.
12And he sent, and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, and withal of a beautiful countenance, and goodly to look to. And the LORD said, Arise, anoint him: for this is he.
13Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the Spirit of the LORD came upon David from that day forward. So Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah.
1 Samuel 16:11-13

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.
