Inner King Discernment and Deliverance
2 Samuel 14:15-17 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Samuel 14 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
A frightened handmaid speaks to the king, seeking deliverance from a foe who would destroy her and her son. She frames the king as one who can discern good from bad and grant relief within the inheritance of God.
Neville's Inner Vision
Your verse invites you to see the king not as a person but as the I AM within you, the inner discernment that can distinguish good from bad. The fear-motivated voice of the handmaid asks for relief, just as a restless thought seeks relief by a decree of your higher self. When you imagine the king hearing and delivering, you are practicing a conscious shift: you plant the assumption that you are already protected by the divine inheritance that is yours. The 'angel of God' is a symbol of the settled awareness that can tell you what serves your highest good and what wounds your sense of completeness. The king's word becoming comfortable is your inner agreement with a new reality already present in your consciousness. The Lord thy God will be with thee is the assurance that presence is not outside but within your own feeling of I AM. So the act is not pleadings but alignment: you revise fear into confidence, and imagination becomes the tool by which you claim your birthright of divine life.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Sit quietly and assume the king has heard you; feel the relief as your inner discernment grants deliverance. Rest in the certainty that this choice aligns you with your divine inheritance.
