Read Deuteronomy 18 in context

Scripture Focus

9When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations.

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.

11Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.

12For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee.

Deuteronomy 18:9-12

Biblical Context

Entering the land, you must not imitate the abominations of the nations, including divination and occult arts. These practices are detestable and will be driven out as you align with the holy I AM.

Neville's Inner Vision

Your 'land' is the inner kingdom of your consciousness, and the 'nations' are the outward habits of fear and desire that have governed you. The command not to imitate their abominations invites you to stop giving power to images of sacrifice, fortune-telling, or control from without. The diviner, the enchanter, the necromancer—these are all symbolic words for inner images that pretend to decide your fate. When you entertain them, you concede your life to someone else's agenda and forget the I AM that you are. But the verse speaks of keeping holy thoughts, of learning to rely on imagination properly—on your own clear vision of what is true. As you revise your inner state to purity and obedience to divine principle, the old vibrational powers are driven out, and your world reorganizes to reflect your new consciousness. The LORD driving them out is your own release from fear, doubt, and coercion. So align with your true self, and the land becomes free of abominations.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Assume you are already living in the inner kingdom, governed by pure I AM awareness; feel it real that the old abominations have no power over you.
