Read 1 Samuel 3 in context

Scripture Focus

11And the LORD said to Samuel, Behold, I will do a thing in Israel, at which both the ears of every one that heareth it shall tingle.

1 Samuel 3:11

Biblical Context

Samuel hears God announce a forthcoming act in Israel that will surprise all who hear it; the verse signals a moment of prophetic judgment and awakening within the nation.

Neville's Inner Vision

In the Neville Goddard frame, the LORD is the I AM within Samuel’s consciousness. 'I will do a thing in Israel' becomes a movement of inner action in your own field of consciousness—your 'Israel.' The tingling ears are the sense of truth reaching you, a clear sign that a new state is being brought forth. This is not about an external event but about the transformation of inner conditions that yield outer results. You are invited to recognize that the voice speaking is the I AM, declaring what your mind can embody as already done. When you hear this inner decree, you must assume the end: you are the instrument through which divine work occurs, and your responsibility is to align belief, feeling, and imagination with the fulfilled state. The passage calls for truthfulness and accountability—to live as one who knows the inner decree is complete, then observe your life reflecting that settled, inner reality.

Practice This Now

Practice: Sit quietly, declare, 'I am the I AM; this truth is done now.' Feel the tingling as evidence, then revise doubt and rest in the sense that the inner decree is already fulfilled.
