Inner Court of Truth

Deuteronomy 19:16-19 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Deuteronomy 19 in context

Scripture Focus

16If a false witness rise up against any man to testify against him that which is wrong;
17Then both the men, between whom the controversy is, shall stand before the LORD, before the priests and the judges, which shall be in those days;
18And the judges shall make diligent inquisition: and, behold, if the witness be a false witness, and hath testified falsely against his brother;
19Then shall ye do unto him, as he had thought to have done unto his brother: so shalt thou put the evil away from among you.
Deuteronomy 19:16-19

Biblical Context

Two parties are brought before the divine court to verify testimony; if the witness lies, the community removes the evil and preserves justice. It emphasizes accountability and truth within the law.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this text, the 'false witness' is not a mere outsider's accusation but a misbelief harbored in your own mind about another or life. The LORD is your I AM, the witnessing presence asking, What is true in this moment? The two parties before the LORD symbolize the disciplined aspects of your mind—conscience and discernment—gathered to examine what you have accepted as real. The 'diligent inquiry' is your daily practice of questioning thoughts until you separate truth from projection. If your inner witness finds that a belief about another is false, you do not retaliate; you revise your mind and withdraw the misperception, for to judge another is to judge your own state of consciousness. By removing the false witness from your inner atmosphere, you 'put away the evil from among you,' and the field clears for the true nature of reality to reveal itself. The whole law is accountability to your own sense of truth: imagination creates what you live, so correct the inner testimony and your world aligns with truth.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Sit quietly and enter the inner court of your I AM; revise a judgment about someone by declaring, 'From this moment I choose truth.' Then feel the truth as real in your heart.
