Neville Goddard on 2 Samuel 6:12 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Samuel 6 in context

Scripture Focus

12And it was told king David, saying, The LORD hath blessed the house of Obededom, and all that pertaineth unto him, because of the ark of God. So David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obededom into the city of David with gladness.

2 Samuel 6:12

Biblical Context

David learns that the LORD blesses Obededom's house because of the ark, and he brings the ark into the city of David with gladness. The passage shows how recognizing the Presence brings joy and marks the start of true worship in one's life.

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, the narrative is a mirror of your inner life. The Ark of God embodies the I AM presence dwelling in the house of your thoughts--Obededom's dwelling is your own consciousness. The blessing comes not from external conditions, but from recognizing and welcoming this Presence. When David moves to bring the Ark into the city of David, he is symbolically lifting the center of awareness into action—the mind made alive to God. The glad procession is the felt result of inner alignment: true worship is not ritual, but the loyalty of attention to the truth that you are the dwelling place of God. If you persist in assuming the Presence is already with you, you awaken renewed confidence and joy, and the outer life responds from that holy interior state.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the Ark is already in the house of your mind; feel the gladness that comes with that Presence. Then declare God's Presence fills this space now and live from that certainty.
