Neville Goddard on Deuteronomy 3:2-6 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Deuteronomy 3 in context

Scripture Focus

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.

4And we took all his cities at that time, there was not a city which we took not from them, threescore cities, all the region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan.

5All these cities were fenced with high walls, gates, and bars; beside unwalled towns a great many.

6And we utterly destroyed them, as we did unto Sihon king of Heshbon, utterly destroying the men, women, and children, of every city.

Deuteronomy 3:2-6

Biblical Context

God tells Moses not to fear Og and promises deliverance, detailing the conquest of Og's fortified cities and realm.

Neville's Inner Vision

Fear him not, for I will deliver him is not a military directive but a teaching to the mind. Og and Sihon are stubborn patterns of thought, not distant kings; the I AM within declares deliverance from those patterns. As I affirm the I AM as ruler of my consciousness, I am delivered from the habits that once controlled me. The march through their cities—threescore, the region of Argob—maps my exploration of every creed I have allowed to define my limits. The high walls, gates, and bars are the defenses I built around fear; to utterly destroy them is to relinquish each image that I must be governed by fear. The victory is inward and complete: God within has acted, and the land reached is the expanded awareness where I know myself as the deliverer, not the captive. My inner country grows, not by battle with others, but by waking to the truth that I am the I AM, and deliverance flows from this realization.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Sit quietly and repeat 'I am delivered by the I AM' until it feels true. Then picture walking through the fortified walls of a belief and entering the unwalled towns of your mind.
