Inner Covenant of Obedience
Deuteronomy 5:29 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Deuteronomy 5 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse expresses a longing for a heart that reveres God and obeys His commands. It links inner reverence with outer well-being and enduring blessing.
Neville's Inner Vision
Think of this verse as describing the inner law of your life rather than a distant command. The 'heart' is your state of consciousness; to 'fear' God is to stand in awe of the unchanging presence within, the I AM that animates every moment. When you dwell in that awe, you automatically align with the commandment as a living pattern, not a list of rules. Obedience becomes an interior rhythm—a repeated, calm assurance that your thoughts, feelings, and actions are governed by the inner divine order. If you envision yourself living under this law now, you are not waiting for future trials to instruct you; you are training your imagination to honor the inner standard, and in that moment your life begins to reflect harmony, health, and lasting security for you and your lineage. Your imagination is the instrument by which you revise any sense of lack into abundance. By returning time and again to the awareness that you are the I AM, you place the cause where it belongs and permit the effect to align with it. Fear fades into reverent attention, and the well-being promised by the verse becomes your living weather.
Practice This Now
Imaginative_act: Assume the I AM is your only state. Revise any sense of separation by declaring, 'I am under the inner law now,' and feel the well-being flowing to you and your descendants as if it is already real.
