Neville Goddard on 1 Samuel 9:26-27 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 1 Samuel 9 in context

Scripture Focus

26And they arose early: and it came to pass about the spring of the day, that Samuel called Saul to the top of the house, saying, Up, that I may send thee away. And Saul arose, and they went out both of them, he and Samuel, abroad.

27And as they were going down to the end of the city, Samuel said to Saul, Bid the servant pass on before us, (and he passed on), but stand thou still a while, that I may shew thee the word of God.

1 Samuel 9:26-27

Biblical Context

Saul is guided to rise with Samuel and then asked to pause so the word of God can be revealed to him. The exchange sets the tone for inner revelation arriving when attention turns from outer movement to still inner awareness.

Neville's Inner Vision

Here the scene is not about a man named Saul, but a state of consciousness listening for the address of God. The servant passing before means distractions slipping away as you turn your focus inward. The top of the house and the spring of the day describe the moment consciousness awakens to itself - a dawning I AM that commands attention. When Samuel says, stand still, he invites you to suspend the very momentum of thought long enough for the Word to appear. In Neville's terms, the word of God is the recognized state you already are, not a future decree. The I AM speaking within is your true nature, the address by which reality folds into alignment with your belief. By quieting outward movement and allowing the inner voice to declare its decree, you shift from striving to being. The moment you stand still, you permit a revision of self: you are the listener and the law in one, and the kingdom of God manifests as your present experience.

Practice This Now

In 5 minutes of quiet, assume you already hear the word of God within. Feel the I AM as your present decree and let the inner voice declare your true state; notice how your outward sense begins to align.
