Inner Word Quest

Amos 8:12 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Amos 8 in context

Scripture Focus

12And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the LORD, and shall not find it.
Amos 8:12

Biblical Context

Amos 8:12 portrays people wandering far to hear the LORD and failing to find it; the verse signals that the true word is found within, not through external search. It emphasizes an inner state rather than outward prophecy.

Neville's Inner Vision

All those wandering from sea to sea are not reaching for a distant oracle, but proof that they have forgotten the I AM within. The word of the LORD is not a forecast carried by prophets across deserts; it is the living assumption of awareness you wear as your own being. When you fix your attention on outer signs—the word spoken by temples, books, or messengers—your inner self grows deaf to the still small voice that speaks as I AM, as your own consciousness. Amos calls you to recall that time does not prove truth; your inner state proves reality. If you would know the word, you must turn from the external chase and become the very state in which the word is imagined as real. The exile spoken of in scripture displays as a separation of mind from its source; return to the inner sovereignty, and the word appears as self-evidence within your waking life, here and now.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Assume the state I AM the word now as real for five minutes, feel the certainty rising in your chest, and revise any outward search as unnecessary.
