Inner Authority Against False Prophecy
Deuteronomy 18:20 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Deuteronomy 18 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
A prophet who speaks a word not commanded by God, or who speaks in the name of other gods, shall die. The verse guards the integrity of the true prophetic voice.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within you, every thought and image is a prophet. When you presume to speak from the name of God while your inner state has not commanded it, you are listening to a counterfeit ego and inviting the death of that old self. Deuteronomy’s warning becomes a maxim: let the true command arise from the I AM within, and the false voices dissolve. Your power is not in shouting from without, but in aligning your imagination with the consciousness that already is awake. If you entertain inspirations that come from external scripts or rival gods—desires rooted in lack—you birth a substitute god and lose the authentic authority your life demands. But when you assume the state of the I AM and imagine that your word proceeds from that inner command, the impostor voice fades and your life moves in harmony with the divine decree you have accepted as real.
Practice This Now
Quiet your mind, and assume the I AM is the only authority speaking through you. Silently revise any thought that claims command apart from that inner word, and feel your new decree taking effect as real.
