The Inner Ark Blessing
2 Samuel 6:11-12 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Samuel 6 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The ark remains with Obed-Edom for three months; the LORD blesses Obed-Edom and all his household. When told of this, David brings the ark from Obed-Edom to the city of David with gladness.
Neville's Inner Vision
Here, the blessing is not an external accident but the natural outcome of a state consciously maintained. Obed-Edom’s house stands as a symbol of a mind in reverence, where the ark—the LORD’s presence—dwells and parks. The Lord blesses that household as long as the ark remains in their midst; this is the how and why blessing flows: when awareness rests within a place, that place prosper. David’s news is the inner observer reporting the verification that inner alignment yields outer good. The act of bringing the ark to Jerusalem with gladness represents the transition from a private acknowledgment to public demonstration: worship becomes action, and life aligns with the inner principle. In Neville’s practice, you do not chase blessings; you assume, feel, and dwell in the truth that God is within you as I AM. Your outer world responds in proportion to your inner fidelity to that truth—health, wealth, relationships, all become channels through which your inner ark manifests. Your task is simple: cultivate the consciousness of the ark's permanent residence and let gratitude be the atmosphere of your day.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Close your eyes and assume the ark is resting in your house now; feel the blessing saturate every room and declare, 'I am blessed because God dwells in me.' Then move through your day with restored gladness, letting your outer actions reflect that inner worship.
