Inner Crossing of Authority
2 Samuel 19:18 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Samuel 19 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
A ferry carries the king's household over Jordan. Shimei falls down in humility before the king.
Neville's Inner Vision
Viewed through Neville’s lens, the ferry boat is a conscious movement of your mind, ferrying the king’s household—your beliefs, memories, and desires—across the Jordan of daily flux. The king is your I AM, the unchanging awareness that rules your inner realm. Shimei’s bowing is not mere history; it is humility before the inner authority that sits on the throne of your attention. The act of crossing Jordan signals a shift of state: you leave behind agitation, resistance, and old verdicts, and you honor the presence of God who guides your steps. The boat is provisioned by what you desire to do good for your life; therefore, when you observe this crossing, you are reminded that your inner faculty is tuned to the good you imagine. Align with the king’s decision, and trust that the narrative of your life will reflect the quiet sovereignty of your I AM. Remember: imagination creates reality, and the moment you assume the king’s posture in you, the outward scene begins to answer with evidence of that inner state.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Close your eyes and imagine a ferry lifting your household across Jordan, with you as the I AM king in full authority. Then revise any doubt by quietly affirming, 'I AM the King; I govern this life now,' until the feeling is real.
