Inner Borders of Covenant Life
1 Chronicles 6:77-81 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Chronicles 6 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verses describe the allocation of towns and suburbs to Merari and neighboring tribes on both sides of the Jordan. It signals covenant loyalty, law, and orderly stewardship within community.
Neville's Inner Vision
Observe that the borders and suburbs named for Merari are not distant cities but inner dispositions you choose to inhabit. The split east and west of Jordan mirrors your own life: the inner state you carry within, and the outward expressions that follow from it. God—the I AM—becomes the allocator of these inner towns as you align with the Law of Love. Each suburb you name in your mind is a habit, a tone, a duty you perform in consciousness. Bezer in the wilderness teaches steadiness under trial; Ramoth in Gilead shows the elevation of vision; Kedemoth and Mephaath invite memory and planning; Heshbon and Jazer ground you in practical stewardship. When you imagine these places as already given to you, you assert that your entire psyche is organized by covenant loyalty—no region left unloved or ungoverned by awareness. The imagination becomes the map, and your life follows its lines. By feeling it real now, you shift your identity from observer of life to sovereign of your inner kingdoms.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and mentally place one major inner town—the 'Covenant'—in your awareness and feel its suburbs expanding into daily choices; say, 'I AM the governor of these inner borders.'
