The Listening Inner King
Judges 11:28 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Judges 11 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Jephthah sends a message to the king, but the king of Ammon does not listen. The verse portrays a state of consciousness that resists inner guidance.
Neville's Inner Vision
Judges 11:28, through Neville Goddard's lens, speaks not of political failure but of a condition in consciousness. The king who hearkened not embodies a stubborn part of you that resists the inner guidance of your I AM. Jephthah's words are the imaginal communications of your higher self, prompting courage, discernment, and obedience. When such inner counsel is ignored, you reenact a dream of separation—believing you are a mind apart from God, hearing but not heeding. The cure is to adopt the act of revision: assume that the inner word is heard and obeyed, feeling it as real. In that assumed state, the power to listen resides wholly within your awareness, and the outer scene begins to bend toward harmony with your inner resolve. As you dwell in this alignment, opportunities and events reflect a coherent mind at work, moving you toward the integrated life you now affirm. Practice continues until listening becomes natural, and obedience flows from within as the I AM governs your day.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Close your eyes and declare, 'I am the king who hears and obeys the inner word.' Sit with the feeling for a few moments and notice a subtle shift in your choices, as if guided by your higher self.
