Amos 4:9-11 Inner Turning Point

Amos 4:9-11 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Amos 4 in context

Scripture Focus

9I have smitten you with blasting and mildew: when your gardens and your vineyards and your fig trees and your olive trees increased, the palmerworm devoured them: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the LORD.
10I have sent among you the pestilence after the manner of Egypt: your young men have I slain with the sword, and have taken away your horses; and I have made the stink of your camps to come up unto your nostrils: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the LORD.
11I have overthrown some of you, as God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and ye were as a firebrand plucked out of the burning: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the LORD.
Amos 4:9-11

Biblical Context

Amos recounts God’s acts of drought, pestilence and upheaval meant to turn Israel back, yet the people persist in not returning to the LORD.

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through the Neville lens, these verses are not mere history but a mirror of the mind. The blasting, mildew, palmerworm, and pestilence are inner conditions—disruptions in the self-image that you, the I AM, observe. When your gardens increase and you still do not return, it means your consciousness has not chosen the steady, God-centered state. The external plagues are only signs that you are resisting a return to your true source. The overthrow of some, like Sodom and Gomorrah, is the mind’s dramatic shake‑up that disrupts old identifications, offering the possibility of a new center. The repeated phrase, 'yet have ye not returned unto me,' is an invitation to revise your sense of self and to assume a new ruling idea—God within, the I AM, the perceiver who declares, 'I am turned back to my source.' When you dwell in that inner state, the conditions outside lose their grip, for you now act from the inner kingdom rather than being driven by appearances. Your life becomes a conscious creation aligned with the divine I AM.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Assume the inner state—'I am returning to the I AM within'—and feel it real for several minutes each day. Let the old sense of separation melt away as you dwell in that center.
