Neville Goddard on Deuteronomy 1:29-31 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Deuteronomy 1 in context

Scripture Focus

29Then I said unto you, Dread not, neither be afraid of them.

30The LORD your God which goeth before you, he shall fight for you, according to all that he did for you in Egypt before your eyes;

31And in the wilderness, where thou hast seen how that the LORD thy God bare thee, as a man doth bear his son, in all the way that ye went, until ye came into this place.

Deuteronomy 1:29-31

Biblical Context

Deuteronomy 1:29-31 reassures the people not to fear; God goes before them, fights for them, and carries them like a father guiding a son through the wilderness.

Neville's Inner Vision

To the attentive reader, the external threat is only the mirror of inner doubt. The I AM, the Presence you truly are, goes before you in consciousness, preparing the path and meeting every imagined obstacle. When you remember that the Lord your God fights for you, you inhabit the inner fact that your awareness is already armed with purpose and protection. The wilderness becomes a symbol of the inner terrain where fear could arise, yet the image of God bearing you indicates you are supported by a benevolent, parent-like consciousness. Your battles are fought not by force but by alignment: as you assume the feeling of being led and defended, fear dissolves and clarity comes. The sanctified interpretation dissolves time: you stand now in the place you were guided to reach, not by chance but by the continuity of the I AM’s presence. Faith, then, is an experiential state you dwell in until it becomes your normal way of perceiving and acting.
