Inner Rain and Idolatry
Deuteronomy 11:16-17 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Deuteronomy 11 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The passage warns that if your heart is deceived and you worship other gods, God will withhold rain and your land will fail, threatening your life on the good land. It speaks of accountability for turning away from true worship and the consequences in the form of drought and loss.
Neville's Inner Vision
Notice how the text speaks not of distant gods but of your own consciousness, of turning away from the I AM to worship lack, fear, or the belief in separation. When your heart tricks you into believing there are powers apart from the One Life, you close the heavens within your mind; inspiration ceases, rain stops, and your inner land yields nothing. But this is not punishment from an external deity; it is the effect of your assumed separations. The moment you recognize that 'other gods' are merely thoughts you enthrone, you can revoke them by a single act of attention: you affirm that the I AM is your only ruler, the source of all rain, the only governor of abundance. In that light, the drought dissolves; the heaven opens, the land yields, and you remain on the good land by remaining faithful to the One Presence within. Do not seek rain outside; see it as the feeling of I AM realized in form, the inner outpouring that manifests as circumstances in your world.
Practice This Now
Assume the I AM as your reality now and revise any sense of lack; in your mind's eye, see the heavens open and rain fall upon the land of your consciousness, restoring abundance.
