Neville Goddard on Amos 5:14-15 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Amos 5 in context

Scripture Focus

14Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live: and so the LORD, the God of hosts, shall be with you, as ye have spoken.

15Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish judgment in the gate: it may be that the LORD God of hosts will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph.

Amos 5:14-15

Biblical Context

Amos calls you to seek good to live, and to hate evil while establishing fair judgment at the gate. By aligning your inner dispositions with righteousness, you invite the Lord’s gracious presence into your life.

Neville's Inner Vision

I hear the call not as a command to change the world around you, but to reshape the world within. The verse speaks of good and evil as states of consciousness, and the gate as the boundary where you decide who you are. If you would have God with you, you must assume the state of one who already has the good you seek. When you choose good, love good, and hate what is evil in you, you begin to build an inner court where justice stands. The I AM—your own awareness—walks with you as you revise every thought that would condemn life. The remnant Joseph is your steadfast self, the portion that remains faithful to this inner alignment. Trust that your imagination, rightly directed, can birth the gracious presence that Amos promises; you do not beg grace, you become grace through consistent choosing of good.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Assume you are already in God's company as you choose good. Feel the I AM presence in your decisions; revise any self-image that clings to evil until inner justice becomes your default.
