1 Samuel 23:5 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
David and his men went to Keilah and fought the Philistines. They saved the inhabitants of Keilah.
Neville's Inner Vision
Keilah here is the inner city of your mind, a state of consciousness you must guard and redeem. David, the great organizer of action within, with his men, represents your I AM—a disciplined, imaginative consciousness moving to confront the Philistines of fear, doubt, and lack. When they fought and smote the Philistines and took the cattle, the message is not simply a physical raid; it is the clearing of denial and the provision of supply for your inner life. The slaughter is not cruelty but the shedding of older, negative movements; the saved inhabitants symbolize your saved energies—compassion, justice, mercy—restored to their rightful place by the creative act of assuming the new state. The Philistine threat recedes as you hold the vision of Keilah as your secure inner city, rescued by a decisive act of imagination. You are asked to see yourself as the deliverer and the one who saves, not by force alone, but by the reality you choose to inhabit with I AM awareness. Imagination, not circumstance, writes your destiny.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: assume the role of the deliverer inside your mind and feel it real. Imagine Keilah saved by your I AM, fear driven out, inhabitants restored, and stay with the feeling of gratitude.
