Inner Fire and Pure Worship

Deuteronomy 18:10 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Deuteronomy 18 in context

Scripture Focus

10There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch.
Deuteronomy 18:10

Biblical Context

The verse forbids any among you to cause a child to pass through the fire or to engage in divination, soothsaying, or witchcraft. It calls you to live a life of true worship through inner alignment rather than external ritual.

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of Deuteronomy 18:10 as a mirror of your inner life. When you say 'no one among you passes through the fire,' you are declaring that no outward rite can burn away the limitation you have not already burned within the I AM. The soothsayer, the diviner, the observer of times—these are images of a mind chasing certainty outside the self. In Neville's terms, divination is a state of consciousness that looks to knowledge outside the self; it is a misalignment with the one power that you truly are: I AM. The command is not a historical prohibition but a psychological one: resist giving your attention to external devices to control fate. Your true worship is inner alignment, a keeping of the heart unstained by fear or craving, a disciplined imagination that refuses to barter the inner life for outward signs. If you find yourself tempted to 'perform' or 'test' life with signs, revise the assumption: you are already that which you seek, and your world manifests from your I AM awareness. The moment you accept this, purification occurs—holiness is a state of present awareness, not a ritual.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly, place your hand on your chest, and affirm 'I AM' is the only power. Then imagine your desired state already complete, letting that inner image dissolve any sense of external control until it rests in you.
