Inner Hearing, Outer Change
Deuteronomy 19:20 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Deuteronomy 19 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Those who remain hear the warning. They fear in the sense of reverence and vow not to repeat the evil.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within the verse, the remaining listener is your own continued awareness—the part of you that hears truth and will not pretend it is elsewhere. The word fear here is reverence, the soft tremor of a mind that knows the I AM governs by inner law. When such hearing takes root, a turning occurs: the old impulse is seen, mercy is not withheld, but you align with the inner pattern and commit to not repeat the evil. This is not punishment but correction, a holy severing from a lower state and a steadfast turning toward obedience and faithfulness. The external admonition mirrors an inward discipline: when you hear it with awe, you are deterred from acting as before, and your life becomes a field where holiness can flourish. So the 'they' who remain become 'I' who choose; habits shift because the consciousness behind them shifts. The state you hold creates the world you refuse to repeat.
Practice This Now
Sit quietly and recall a recent temptation; declare, 'I hear the inner warning, I am the I AM, and I will cease this pattern.' Feel the certainty as if the new state has already begun.
