Neville Goddard on Amos 2:9 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Amos 2 in context

Scripture Focus

9Yet destroyed I the Amorite before them, whose height was like the height of the cedars, and he was strong as the oaks; yet I destroyed his fruit from above, and his roots from beneath.

Amos 2:9

Biblical Context

Amos 2:9 presents God boasting of defeating the Amorite, a foe as tall as cedars and as strong as oaks. He describes stripping away the foe’s power from above and his roots from beneath.

Neville's Inner Vision

Amos 2:9 presents a certainty for the inner man. The Amorite—whose height was like the cedars and whose strength was like oaks—represents a state of consciousness you have identified with: a fixed sense of lack, fear, or unworthiness. The phrase 'destroyed I the Amorite… from above, and his roots from beneath' is not about geography; it is your inner revision. The I AM—the awareness you are—refuses to feed that image from above with rationalizations and to keep it alive beneath by subconscious habit. When you claim, 'I am the power that acts now,' you topple the imagined height and sever its roots. The world you see then rearranges to reflect your new inner order. The deliverance spoken of is not distant; it is the immediate result of a change in your state of consciousness. Your liberty arises as you cease obeying the old belief and begin living from the one Presence within.

Practice This Now

Assume right now that I AM is the power that destroys the imagined foe. Revise a scene of limitation by seeing the tall Amorite dissolve and its roots pulled from beneath; feel the liberation as your daily life reflects the change.
