Neville Goddard on 1 Samuel 20:14-15 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 1 Samuel 20 in context

Scripture Focus

14And thou shalt not only while yet I live shew me the kindness of the LORD, that I die not:

15But also thou shalt not cut off thy kindness from my house for ever: no, not when the LORD hath cut off the enemies of David every one from the face of the earth.

1 Samuel 20:14-15

Biblical Context

David and Jonathan vow lasting kindness, asking mercy for David's house; the passage presents enduring loyalty as a sacred covenant that persists through adversity.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this line, the I AM speaks of an inner mercy that outlasts any trial. The 'kindness of the LORD' is your living state of compassion. Jonathan’s vow becomes your inner law: your inner house shall endure kindness forever, regardless of outward adversaries. When you imagine the 'enemies' of David as your fears and limitations being removed by the LORD in you, you enter a state where mercy is not earned but recognized as your natural condition. Neville would say you are not seeking kindness; you are becoming it by revising your sense of self to align with a covenant of mercy that cannot be dissolved by external events. If you dwell there—feeling it as real now—you awaken the inner king in you to rule with mercy, and the world you meet reflects that inner kingship.

Practice This Now

Assume the I AM's kindness is your permanent state. Revise any fear by affirming, 'I am mercy in action,' and feel it real by experiencing the next moment as already blessed by this covenant.
