Dwelling in Inner Authority
Proverbs 24:21-22 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Proverbs 24 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The passage invites reverence for the divine I AM and inner king and warns against meddling with unstable minds, for such changeability brings sudden ruin.
Neville's Inner Vision
As you read Proverbs 24:21-22, notice that the LORD is the I AM you awaken to in consciousness, and the king is the decisive will you exercise in every moment. The command to fear them is not fear as dread but reverent alignment—an inner stillness in which you acknowledge how reality is formed by your state of awareness. Do not meddle with them that are given to change, meaning do not entertain or identify with restless, fickle thoughts masquerading as truth. When you yield to such changeable voices, calamity rises suddenly in your world, for you have accepted instability as your norm. The only safe footing is to remain with the steady, unalterable presence of I AM, to let the king govern your assumptions and choices from that base. The ruin of both arises when you confuse the dynamic, changing mind with the fixed, abiding reality of consciousness. Therefore, you shift from external obedience to the inward obedience: you obey your own indwelling I AM, and you honor the inner ruler by maintaining a single, stable assumption about who you are and what is possible.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Sit quietly and repeat: 'I am the I AM; I am the king within me.' Hold this as a felt truth for 3–5 minutes, revoking all changeable thoughts and entering a sense of stable, living consciousness.
