Inner Thirst, Inner Return

Amos 4:8 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Amos 4 in context

Scripture Focus

8So two or three cities wandered unto one city, to drink water; but they were not satisfied: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the LORD.
Amos 4:8

Biblical Context

The verse depicts restless wandering in search of water that cannot satisfy, highlighting a call to turn back to the LORD within.

Neville's Inner Vision

All those wandering cities are only the mind chasing substitutes for living water. The thirst you feel in Amos’s scene is not a physical drought but the soul’s belief that fullness lies somewhere else, in some other place or future circumstance. The LORD’s question is a summons to return to the one Source within—the I AM that you are. In Neville’s terms, you are the consciousness that presides over every scene; you are the water and the drought alike only as you imagine them. When you find yourself in a perpetual circuit of seeking, you are simply testing your fidelity to the end-state you want to wear. Therefore, refuse to move your attention outward. Instead, make the inner move: assume, now, that you possess abundant life, that the drink you crave is your own inner presence, and feel that presence saturate every cell. As you dwell in that assumption, the inner movements align with it, and the external scene quietly rearranges to reflect your one, unbroken relationship with the I AM. The return becomes not a meeting with a distant God but a remembered, inner recognition.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly, close your eyes, declare 'I am the water, I am the abundance,' and immerse yourself in the felt sense of being already supplied.
