Inner Sifting of Amos 9:9-10
Amos 9:9-10 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Amos 9 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
God declares He will sift Israel among nations, preserving even the smallest grain. The sinners among His people will face judgment and sword.
Neville's Inner Vision
Your inner life is Amos's stage. The 'house of Israel' is your state of consciousness, and the 'sift' is the testing of thoughts and beliefs until truth remains. When you stand as I AM, you command the unseen like a master. The sieve separates the false from the true, but the one essential grain endures—the you who remains constant in awareness. The line 'yet shall not the least grain fall upon the earth' points to the indestructible core of your being, never dissolved by appearances. The 'sinners' who die by the sword are the old fears and self-deceptions that pretend power over you. They die when you refuse to identify with them, when you maintain the conviction that evil cannot overtake your reality. In this light, the external scene of judgment and exile is but a mirrored drama arising from your inner posture. To live is to align with the I AM and let imagination rearrange your circumstances by feeling it real now. The moment you assume that you are the whole, intact kernel inside the sift, you redeem the entire field of experience and hasten the promised return in your own consciousness.
Practice This Now
Now revise: I am the I AM, preserved, unshaken by the sieve of life. Feel it-real for a minute, carrying that inner certainty into your day.
