The Inner King Emerges

1 Samuel 9:17 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 1 Samuel 9 in context

Scripture Focus

17And when Samuel saw Saul, the LORD said unto him, Behold the man whom I spake to thee of! this same shall reign over my people.
1 Samuel 9:17

Biblical Context

God identifies Saul as the man Samuel spoke of; Saul is chosen to reign over Israel.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the verse, Samuel’s sight of Saul is not a distant event but a disclosure of your inner state. In Neville’s language, the LORD is the I AM, the awareness that names the state you have already become. When God says, Behold the man whom I spoke of, he is speaking to your now, telling you that the inner king has been chosen and is ready to govern your life. The man Saul is a state of consciousness, not merely a person; his reign over 'my people' is your ruling principle over your thoughts, feelings, and deeds. This is the moment when the inner prophecy aligns with outer events: the moment you inhabit the sense of already being king, your outer circumstances begin to reflect order, purpose, and direction. The recognition is the revision: see yourself as the ruler, and your world follows. See Saul as the king within you, summoned by your own consciousness. Embrace the practice of assumption: dwell in the feeling of the wish fulfilled, and let the inner governor take charge. The 'people' are your experiences; the king’s sovereignty is the discipline of your mind.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, place a hand on your chest, and declare, 'I am the inner king who reigns now.' Then feel the authority settling and watch your day align to that sovereign sense.
