Inner Confession, Inner Reconciliation
2 Samuel 19:20 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Samuel 19 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse presents a servant openly admitting guilt and hastening to meet the king, signaling a humble return toward reconciliation.
Neville's Inner Vision
In Neville's view, the 'servant' is a state of consciousness that has wandered from its alignment with the I AM. The confession 'I have sinned' marks the moment awareness recognizes its misalignment—believing in separation from the King, i.e., the Self. The 'house of Joseph' symbolizes the scattered faculties within you drawn together to approach the inner king. The journey downward to meet the king is not a physical movement but a shift of attention back to the center where divine awareness resides. By declaring that he comes first, the speaker asserts the primacy of inner alignment over outer drama, a decisive move from guilt to grace. The practice is to feel as if you are already forgiven, to revise the past in the light of your present reunion with the king, and to live from the consciousness that this return rewrites experience. Thus the verse invites you to replace guilt with the felt reality of intimate divine companionship within.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, assume the inner King's presence, and declare, 'I have sinned; I return now.' Then feel the relief and reconciliation as if it were already accomplished.
