Inner Covenant of the I AM
Deuteronomy 7:9 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Deuteronomy 7 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
God is portrayed as the faithful, covenant-keeping Power. Mercy follows obedience; love and conformity to God's commandments anchor generations in blessing.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within you, the God you call LORD is the I AM—your steady, unchanging consciousness. Deuteronomy 7:9, seen through the inner eye, affirms that this I AM is faithful, binding your inner world to a covenant of mercy when you dwell in love and obedience, not to external laws but to the inner alignment of attention and feeling. The phrase 'to a thousand generations' signals the perpetual motion of your states of being; when you hold the conviction that you are loved and that your actions spring from a divine order, the inner covenant remains intact across imagined generations of experience. The moment you recognize yourself as the one who keeps the commandments—loving the I AM and acting from its impulse—your outer world mirrors the fidelity, mercy, and stability that endure beyond fleeting appearances. This is not history but your present psychology: a living arrangement of consciousness in which your awareness is faithful and merciful to every part of your life.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Sit in stillness and assume the state 'I AM the faithful God within me.' As you breathe, revise a current worry by affirming inwardly, 'This covenant of love endures now; mercy shapes my experience.'
