Inner Prophesying Spirit Unveiled

1 Samuel 19:20-23 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 1 Samuel 19 in context

Scripture Focus

20And Saul sent messengers to take David: and when they saw the company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as appointed over them, the Spirit of God was upon the messengers of Saul, and they also prophesied.
21And when it was told Saul, he sent other messengers, and they prophesied likewise. And Saul sent messengers again the third time, and they prophesied also.
22Then went he also to Ramah, and came to a great well that is in Sechu: and he asked and said, Where are Samuel and David? And one said, Behold, they be at Naioth in Ramah.
23And he went thither to Naioth in Ramah: and the Spirit of God was upon him also, and he went on, and prophesied, until he came to Naioth in Ramah.
1 Samuel 19:20-23

Biblical Context

Saul's messengers go to seize David, but upon meeting the company of prophets led by Samuel, the Spirit of God rests on them and they prophesy; the same Spirit reaches Saul and transforms his pursuit.

Neville's Inner Vision

Behold how the outer plot is but a mirror of inner states. The messengers are not bare men; they are feelings and thoughts that would carry out fear and control. When they encounter the company of prophets, the Spirit of God rests upon them, and they too prophesy. This is the inner awakening: your consciousness, when it recognizes the I AM as the sole governor, breathes prophecy through every instrument of your life. Samuel standing as appointed over them represents a fixed inner authority—the inner man you acknowledge as the source of truth. The moment you permit that Spirit to move in your life, even your pursuers become instruments of awakening rather than agents of destruction; the mind that once chased David becomes a vessel of divine expression. The question about Samuel and David being found at Naioth in Ramah is your own seeking place—the sanctuary of immutable awareness where you and your desired state dwell together. The Spirit of God upon Saul too indicates that fear and aggression are only thoughts until they meet your inner truth. Prophesy, therefore, becomes present-tense reality when you align with I AM here and now.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Assume you are the prophet within; close your eyes, repeat 'I AM,' and revise, 'I now awaken the prophetic Spirit in me and in all my encounters,' and feel that reality now.
