I Am the Lord Within
Deuteronomy 5:6-7 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Deuteronomy 5 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The LORD declares He is the one God who freed Israel from bondage. He requires exclusive worship with no rivals.
Neville's Inner Vision
Imagine that the words are not tethered to a distant history but to your own inner landscape. When Moses proclaims 'I am the LORD thy God,' he is naming the state of consciousness you awaken to, the I AM that liberates you from your own bondage—fear, lack, the old self that begs for safety outside your own awareness. The command 'Thou shalt have none other gods before me' becomes a discipline of allegiance to the one powerful consciousness that animates every experience. Idols are not wood or stone; they are pressures of worry, doubt, or habit that pretend to govern your life. True worship is the steady refusal to yield to any counterfeit sense of reality, and a loyal reaffirmation that your being is grounded in the I AM. As you insist on this inner sovereignty, you move from bondage to freedom, from lack to abundance, from reaction to creative living.
Practice This Now
Practice: Close your eyes, place a hand on your chest, and declare, 'I am the LORD thy God—the I AM within me.' Feel the inner sovereignty and, whenever a limiting thought arises, revise it by affirming, 'There is only one power, the I AM, governing my life.'
