Inner Fire Over Hazael's House
Amos 1:4 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Amos 1 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Amos 1:4 declares a fire that will devour the house of Hazael and the palaces of Benhadad. In Neville's view, this fire signifies inner purification destroying old outward powers within the mind.
Neville's Inner Vision
Beloved, the verse speaks not of distant armies but of a transformation inside your own consciousness. The 'house of Hazael' stands for the former images of power you have trusted, while the 'palaces of Benhadad' symbolize the grand outward dreams built upon those images. The fire that Amos declares is the living I AM arriving to unsettle and burn away what no longer serves your true sovereignty. When you refuse to identify with the old kings and align with the reality that you are God-in-man, the fire does its work as purification, not punishment. It devours the structures of fear, pride, and dependence, making room for the fixed, unimpeachable presence of awareness. The kingdom you awaken into is your immediate experience of I AM-as-self; the external changes you once sought will follow from this inward revolution. Your task becomes the gentle revision of belief, the feeling that you are already the ruler of your world because you are the I AM.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and imagine the inner throne room; declare 'I AM' as a purifying fire entering Hazael's house, burning away the old kings. Then rest in the felt sense of sovereign presence.
