Inner Chosen Presence
Deuteronomy 7:6 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Deuteronomy 7 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Deuteronomy 7:6 proclaims a holy people chosen by the LORD to be special above all others. In Neville's sense, holiness is an inner state of consciousness, not an external privilege.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within you the 'Israel' of the text stands for your own inner nation. The word 'holy' is not a label given to land or lineage, but to your readiness to be possessed by the God I AM that you are. 'The LORD thy God hath chosen thee' speaks to a choosing of consciousness: when you turn your attention inward and align with the Presence, you are chosen to express the divine through daily life. 'To be a special people unto himself, above all people' points to the primacy of awareness—when you dwell in the awareness of God within, you stand apart from the confusion of fear and limitation. The verse invites you to claim your true nature: you are not a distant beneficiary but the very I AM that rules the field of your experience. Practice the assumption that you are already this holy, chosen state, and let your imagination revise what seems ordinary into the extraordinary presence of God at hand. This is the shift: from seeking favor to assuming the fact of the Presence.
Practice This Now
Assume you are the holy people now and dwell in the Presence as your I AM. Feel it real by revising any doubt and repeating, 'I am chosen and held by God within.'
