Holy Ground Within: Shoes Off
Acts 7:33 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Acts 7 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Acts 7:33 records God telling Moses to remove his sandals because the place is holy ground. The moment marks a shift where ordinary space is made sacred by divine presence.
Neville's Inner Vision
The verse reveals that the ground you stand on becomes holy only when your mind is awake to the Presence within. The command to put off thy shoes is not a ritual of the body but a turning away from identification with the old self—its fears, limits, and histories. When you acknowledge the Lord speaks in you, the I AM becomes the master of the scene, and space dissolves into a living field of consciousness. Holiness is not located in geography but in awareness that is fully conscious of God within. Work and vocation emerge as natural expressions of standing in that state, where imagination, belief, and feeling are aligned with the Presence. In this light, every place can be holy, for you carry the Presence wherever you stand, and your life becomes the outward expression of an inward divine reality.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Sit quietly, close your eyes, and affirm, 'I am the Presence here; I remove the old shoes of limitation.' Then assume the state you desire as already real and feel it as your lived ground.
