Inner Prophecy of 1 Samuel
1 Samuel 19:20 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Samuel 19 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Saul dispatches messengers to seize David. When they reach the company of prophets, the Spirit of God rests on them, and they prophesy.
Neville's Inner Vision
Here the scene is not about bodies or geography but about states of consciousness. The messengers are not 'them' but parts of you that set out to enforce a vow, to seize an outcome. When they come into the presence of the company of prophets — inner voices of inspiration — the Spirit of God rests upon them, and they prophesy, meaning their words and actions shift to an inner truth they did not initially know. Samuel standing over them as appointed over the messengers is your inner I AM selecting and presiding over this shift; the inner authority with the power to recognize and align every moving part. The outer attempt to 'take David' dissolves as the inner consciousness is filled with prophetic energy. The whole verse declares that once your inner atmosphere is saturated with Spirit, the 'outsiders' in your life can only echo your inner move; the visible risk yields to inner prophecy. The practice: hold in mind that you are the one who commands the prophetic Spirit and let fear revise into song.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Close your eyes and assume the I AM as the inner Samuel, the authority over your thoughts. Visualize your outer movers prophesying under Spirit's touch and feel the shift as fear yields to inner prophecy.
