Remembering the Inner I AM
Deuteronomy 8:11 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Deuteronomy 8 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Deuteronomy 8:11 warns not to forget the Lord by neglecting His commandments. It links prosperity to faithfulness to the inner law.
Neville's Inner Vision
Your world is not built from outward conditions but from the inward standard you maintain. The warning is not about a distant God but about the I AM you, the awareness that chooses. Forgetting the Lord occurs when you drift from the inner commandments and statutes—the steady, repetitive decrees you give to your mind: I AM well, I AM fulfilled, I am free. When prosperity arrives, the natural impulse is to rest in the senses, to let judgments and statutes slip into neglect. Neville would say: imagine yourself already the one who keeps the law; treat the commandment as a feeling-state you dwell in, not a list. The moment you realize you are the I AM, you become covenant loyalty, you hold to the inner decree that your state is whole and complete, irrespective of outer appearances. The kingdom is within; the 'day' is this now. The forgetting is but a shift of attention away from the inner certainty to separate conditions. So revise, assume, and feel it real that you are now precisely that which you aim to be, the keeper of the inner law and thus your outer life reflects that fidelity.
Practice This Now
Assume the state of being the keeper of the inner law for 5 minutes, feeling the I AM as your constant awareness; revise any moment of forgetfulness by replacing it with the memory of perfect obedience.
