Inner King, Outer Peace
1 Samuel 20:5-7 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Samuel 20 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
David asks Jonathan to tell Saul that he will be away to Bethlehem for a yearly sacrifice. If Saul says 'It is well,' peace remains; if he grows angry, trouble is foreseen.
Neville's Inner Vision
Viewed through the Neville lens, the scene is not a political maneuver but a disclosure of inner states. David is the living impulse for rightful rule in your consciousness—the I AM asserting its presence where you are, not hiding behind fear. The field is the quiet mind where you step aside from the outward drama to listen to the truth within. Jonathan stands as the intermediary conscience, the part of you that carries a message from your higher self to the outer personality. Saul represents the old belief that you must appease apparent authority before you may sit at the table of abundance. When the test comes—‘It is well’ or ‘evil is determined’—you see that the outcome mirrors your inner agreement. If you feel peace, that is the inner government of your life; if you feel threat, you have uncovered a hidden limitation. The practice is simple: assume you are governed by the I AM, feel it real, and let the outer scene reflect that consciousness.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and imagine the inner David seated with the King within your mind, while Jonathan delivers a message of peace. Then revise any fear by affirming 'It is well' and feel it real, letting inner peace reflect in your outer scene.
