Inner Judgment of the Household
1 Samuel 3:13 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Samuel 3 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
1 Samuel 3:13 warns that Eli's house will be judged because he did not restrain his corrupt sons; the verse highlights accountability beginning in the inner life and leadership.
Neville's Inner Vision
Your 'house' is not a building but a state of consciousness. When you know a impulse or belief is vile and you do not restrain it, you seed a self that will bear fruit of judgment in your affairs. Eli stands where you give permission to your thoughts and feelings to run unchecked; his failure to restrain is your own unorganized energy in the field of awareness. The line 'I will judge his house forever' is not punishment from an external God but the natural function of your own inner law when you persist in a state that contradicts the order of your true I AM. To change this, you must withdraw identification from the unrestrained course and assume a new ruler in your consciousness: the one who orders and disciplines. Apply the law of assumption: imagine you are the master of the inner household, and speak and feel the discipline as already present. Your impressions, thoughts, and impulses respond to the state you sustain. By choosing a state of obedience, faithfulness, and separation from lower urges, the inner house becomes holy and the outer life aligns with that order.
Practice This Now
Assume the feeling that you govern your inner household. Revise by quietly declaring, 'I now restrain every impulse that would disturb my divine order,' and feel it real in the heart.
