Inner Lending Law Revealed
Deuteronomy 23:19-20 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Deuteronomy 23 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Deuteronomy 23:19-20 forbids charging interest to a fellow, while allowing it to outsiders, with the promise that God blesses the worker's endeavors in the land.
Neville's Inner Vision
In Neville's terms, the 'brother' and the 'stranger' symbolize states of consciousness, not literal kin. If you try to extract usury from a brother, you maintain separation in your awareness; you are signaling a finite supply to guard. The law is a spiritual reminder that your inner economy must reflect abundance. When you live from the I AM, you are the source of all lending; every act of giving reflects your perfect supply. Lending to a 'stranger' becomes an invitation to extend your consciousness beyond partitions, recognizing that you are blessing your own creation and inviting reciprocity into your projects and relationships. The blessing clause—'that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all that thou settest thine hand to'—becomes an inner assurance: as you rest in abundance, your endeavors prosper, and your interactions become effortless, not transactional. The decree invites you to harmonize inner wealth with outer acts, so life itself expresses I AM abundance.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume the state 'I AM the source of all abundance.' Refresh any sense of scarcity, then bless your neighbor in thought as your own prosperity, feeling the blessing flow through every action you take.
