Samuel's Inner Awakening
1 Samuel 3:7 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Samuel 3 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Samuel is in a beginning state, unaware of the LORD and without God’s word being revealed to him. The verse hints at an inner readiness for awakening.
Neville's Inner Vision
In Neville’s psychology, 1 Samuel 3:7 is not about a boy but about a state of consciousness. Samuel represents the self that has not yet recognized the LORD within—the I AM that animates every breath. The absence of the LORD’s word signals how attention may be turned outward, how the inner cinema has not yet tuned to the whisper of God. Yet in this lack lies the seed of awakening: identify with the I AM, the observer who creates. When you persist in assuming you are the LORD within, you revise your state and open to inner guidance. The word then unfolds as a living instruction, not a distant command, and your life begins to move toward it. Faith becomes trust in inner revelation rather than external signs, and presence becomes natural once you claim it. Prophecy is born as your inner reality is rehearsed until it is felt as real.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Sit quietly, declare I am the LORD within now, and feel the awareness expand. Allow a single inner word or impression to surface and act on it, trusting it as guidance.
