Inner Fire Contends Amos 7:4
Amos 7:4 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Amos 7 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Plain sense: The vision presents the Lord contending by fire, devouring the deep within, signaling a cleansing act of judgment that touches the mind's depths.
Neville's Inner Vision
Your life is not at the mercy of outer events; the Lord GOD in you calls you to contend by fire, and that fire is your consciousness sharpening itself. The great deep is the unconscious reservoir of pictures and beliefs you have accepted as you. When the 'fire' of awareness is directed by a clear assumption, parts of that deep are devoured—the old self disappears, like waste removed from the furnace. The act of judging here is internal: you judge nothing by another's standard but by your own return to the I AM. To apply this, imagine the state of complete awareness right now; feel the presence of I AM, and let the imagined fire burn away one belief that limits you. The result is a portion eaten up, a clearing space for a truer self to emerge. This is the prophecy and promise: in the crisis of inward judgment, a new, higher form of life arises, not by violence but by the disciplined energy of consciousness.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Close your eyes, assume the state 'I AM' as your central awareness, and picture a consuming fire at the depth within you; allow one limiting belief to be burned away, and feel the space that remains.
