Neville Goddard on Deuteronomy 3:1-3 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Deuteronomy 3 in context

Scripture Focus

1Then we turned, and went up the way to Bashan: and Og the king of Bashan came out against us, he and all his people, to battle at Edrei.

2And the LORD said unto me, Fear him not: for I will deliver him, and all his people, and his land, into thy hand; and thou shalt do unto him as thou didst unto Sihon king of the Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon.

3So the LORD our God delivered into our hands Og also, the king of Bashan, and all his people: and we smote him until none was left to him remaining.

Deuteronomy 3:1-3

Biblical Context

Israel moves toward Bashan and Og confronts them; the Lord commands fear not and promises deliverance, culminating in their victory over Og.

Neville's Inner Vision

See this passage as a parable of your own inner terrain. Bashan is a state of mind you are ready to claim; Og the king represents a towering fear or ingrained habit blocking your new life. The battle at Edrei marks the moment old patterns resist the shift, while the voice of the I AM—the Lord—speaks to your core: Fear him not, for I will deliver him and all his people into your hand. Your task is not to struggle from without, but to consent to a revised inner truth: you are already delivered in consciousness. Just as you did to the Sihon of the past, you now revise memory and release the hold of the former land. The deliverance is a present realization, awakened by faith that God within is your active fact. When you accept this, you inhabit a new liberty, not earned by effort, but assumed by the I AM who conquers within you.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, assume you are already delivered; feel the peace of your new land arising within you. Silently affirm, 'I am delivered now,' and let that sensation settle into your next moment.
