Deliverance Through Inner Sabbath
Deuteronomy 5:15 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Deuteronomy 5 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
It recalls Israel's bondage in Egypt and God's mighty deliverance. It then commands Sabbath-keeping as loyalty to the covenant.
Neville's Inner Vision
To Neville, the land of Egypt is not a place on a map but a state of consciousness—the sense of slavery, limitation, and separation from the divine I AM. The memory of bondage serves to awaken gratitude and to fix the attention on the Source who delivers. The 'mighty hand and stretched-out arm' are symbolic images of the ruling power of consciousness that has already lifted you from limitation. The command to keep the Sabbath is not a rule to observe an external day, but a reminder that you can rest in the one living I AM present within you, choosing to cease from the old labor of fear and lack. By dwelling in stillness, you align with the act of deliverance as an ongoing inner state, not a distant event. Obedience becomes faithfulness to your own inner nature, covenant loyalty to the I AM that cannot be separated from you. The law points you to the psychological truth that you are free insofar as you identify with your true self, and you honor that truth by creating space for the divine presence to work in you.
Practice This Now
Sit in a quiet moment and declare 'I am delivered now.' Feel the stillness of the I AM, imagining the mighty hand guiding your thoughts as you rest in the present consciousness.
