Neville Goddard on Hosea 13:10-11 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Hosea 13 in context

Scripture Focus

10I will be thy king: where is any other that may save thee in all thy cities? and thy judges of whom thou saidst, Give me a king and princes?

11I gave thee a king in mine anger, and took him away in my wrath.

Hosea 13:10-11

Biblical Context

Hosea 13:10-11 presents God declaring He will be their king and asks where a human king could save them; the people had clamored for rulers, but God gave one in anger and later withdrew him. The passage points to inner sovereignty, not political power, and invites you to seek guidance from the I AM within.

Neville's Inner Vision

View Hosea 13:10-11 as a map of your own consciousness. God says, I will be thy king—this is the declaration of the I AM, the awareness that rules the inner city of your life. The question of where a savior in every city comes from is really the question: whose authority am I living by? When you cried, Give me a king and princes, you were asking for an outward ruler to fix inward fear. Hosea answers by showing that the true king is not given by angered politics but established within by the I AM. In your present moment, decide that you no longer seek salvation from without, but affirm, I am king of this mental city. As you assume that authority, the outer spectacles—people, judgments, circumstances—move to reflect that inner sovereignty. If irritation or lack arises, do not chase it away; revise the feeling to: the I AM governs this place now and always, and all states bow to that presence. Providence follows the conscious act of claiming inner kingship.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quiet, affirm 'I am the King of this inner city now'; feel the I AM as governing presence, and observe thoughts and circumstances aligning to reflect that inner sovereignty.
