Neville Goddard on Deuteronomy 11:13-15 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Deuteronomy 11 in context

Scripture Focus

13And it shall come to pass, if ye shall hearken diligently unto my commandments which I command you this day, to love the LORD your God, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul,

14That I will give you the rain of your land in his due season, the first rain and the latter rain, that thou mayest gather in thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil.

15And I will send grass in thy fields for thy cattle, that thou mayest eat and be full.

Deuteronomy 11:13-15

Biblical Context

If you diligently heed God's commandments and love Him with your whole being, God will provide seasonal rain and abundance for your crops and cattle.

Neville's Inner Vision

Think not of obedience as a moral burden but as alignment with your own I AM. When you willingly return your heart to the Lord of your being, you enter a state in which your inner atmosphere becomes a fertile ground for supply. The 'land' is your life-field: your thoughts, actions, and feelings. The 'rain'—first and latter—denotes the natural outpouring of your inner season: the timing of insight, opportunity, and sustenance. The condition 'if ye shall hearken diligently' becomes a rule of mental discipline: keep faith with the commandments imagined as the steady habits of consciousness that love and serve God within. In such a state, provision flows; you gather corn, wine, oil as the fructifying results of inner harmony. And, as the verse adds, 'I will send grass in thy fields for thy cattle'—the daily ease and fullness of life. The external world reflects your inner allegiance. So, the practical truth: you do not bargain with God, you awaken to your oneness with the I AM, and the world aligns to your assumed reality.

Practice This Now

Imaginatively assume you are already living in this blessed season: feel the rain coming, the fields growing, the cattle fed. Stay with that feeling until it remains your ordinary state.
