Inner Judgment and Divine Intercession

1 Samuel 2:25 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 1 Samuel 2 in context

Scripture Focus

25If one man sin against another, the judge shall judge him: but if a man sin against the LORD, who shall intreat for him? Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto the voice of their father, because the LORD would slay them.
1 Samuel 2:25

Biblical Context

The verse contrasts external punishment for harming another with the idea that sins against the LORD have no external intercessor; it notes that the people ignored their father's voice, aligning with divine judgment.

Neville's Inner Vision

In this verse you glimpse two courts within you. When one man sins against another, the outward judge stands as a symbol of the social order—consequences measured by laws and witnesses. But a sin against the LORD is a movement in your own consciousness, a misalignment with the I AM within. There is no external intercessor to plead your case because the true intercessor is your awareness itself; the inner Father who speaks as your I AM; heeding or ignoring that voice determines whether life seems to slay or spare you. The moment you accept that the judgment you fear is your own dreaming, you can revise from within and restore alignment. Do not seek pardon from priests or judges but awaken to the reality that you are already reconciled by the I AM that dwells in you. When you live as the God-present I AM, the sense of crime against the LORD softens into an opportunity to return to your true nature, and the apparent punishment dissolves as you assume the state of your own divine law and mercy.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit in stillness, breathe, and declare, 'I AM within me—the LORD of my life.' Revise the sense of sin by affirming, 'I forgive myself now; I feel the I AM restoring me to wholeness.'
