Welcoming the Inner Divine Voice
Deuteronomy 18:16 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Deuteronomy 18 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse recalls the people's request not to hear God's voice or see the fiery theophany, fearing death; it frames direct divine encounter as a holy boundary crossed by faith.
Neville's Inner Vision
In your inner world, the 'voice of the LORD' is the I AM speaking within your own consciousness. The fear of hearing it corresponds to a resistance to the transformation that comes with direct awareness. Horeb's fire symbolizes the burning energy of imagination cleansing belief; the 'assembly' represents the crowded mind clinging to old identities. When you insist you do not want to hear or see, you deny your own invitation to live as God in action. Yet the I AM is always present, waiting for your consent to awaken. The moment you acknowledge this presence and choose to be guided by it, fear dissolves and the inner voice becomes a steady directive—shaping feelings, choices, and embodiment. Separation was a belief born of fear; upon embracing unity with the divine within, the fire is not destruction but purification. You hear, you respond, you become one with the voice, and life rearranges itself around that truth.
Practice This Now
Assume you are already hearing the inner divine voice. For five minutes, revise any fear by stating, 'I now welcome the inner voice of God within me,' and feel the presence as real and guiding.
