Inner Calling of Israel
1 Samuel 9:20 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Samuel 9 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse says not to fix on the lost asses, for they are found; it also declares that the desire of Israel rests on you and your father's house, signaling an inner calling already present.
Neville's Inner Vision
Viewed through Neville’s inner-vision, the 'asses' are not literal beasts but outward preoccupations that you have mistaken for reality. If you persist in chasing signs, you remain in a waiting room; when you hear 'they are found,' you are invited to revise your entire outlook: the problem of direction is not somewhere outside but in your own I AM. The phrase 'the desire of Israel' is the inner image of statehood, purpose, and worthiness—the consciousness the people long for, which in your life expresses as leadership, service, and alignment with divine order. Your 'father's house' stands for inherited habits, beliefs, and talents; the inner kingdom is built when these dispositions are harmonized into a single agent of intention. The verse does not ask you to perform feats for others; it asks you to accept the inner reality that you are the answer your inner community seeks. Therefore, assume the state of being that you are already the one Israel desires. Let that inner image settle into your feelings until your world subtly reorganizes to reflect it.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, declare, 'I am the desire of Israel; I am the one chosen now,' and consciously assume the state of leadership and service. Visualize your inner kingdom taking shape and feel the certainty of being the answer, while letting external concerns soften and realign with this inner image.
