Neville Goddard on 1 Samuel 19:24 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 1 Samuel 19 in context

Scripture Focus

24And he stripped off his clothes also, and prophesied before Samuel in like manner, and lay down naked all that day and all that night. Wherefore they say, Is Saul also among the prophets?

1 Samuel 19:24

Biblical Context

Saul prophesies with Samuel and then lies down naked for a day and night; the people wonder if Saul is among the prophets.

Neville's Inner Vision

Saul's stripping is not humiliation but a symbolic shedding of outer identity. The body becomes a mirror of the mind, unclothed before the I AM, which is the only true self. In this moment the question, Is Saul also among the prophets? reveals a law: any state of consciousness can become a temple when surrendered to God within. You do not seek a visitation; you awaken to the I AM as the viewpoint from which you live. When you acknowledge God as the I AM in you, the outward signs—prophesying, speech, movement—are merely the weather of an inner certainty. The clothes you wear are social shells; when you assume the feeling of the prophetic state, you dissolve the sense of separation and find yourself in the same circle as Samuel. The key is internal presence, not external display; your imagination is the throne room, and your awareness is the prophet.

Practice This Now

Sit in quiet, and declare, 'I am the I AM; I am already among the prophets.' Visualize yourself standing in the circle with Samuel and feel the Presence as your inner certainty, letting outer appearances align with that truth.
