Neville Goddard on Deuteronomy 8:11-18 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Deuteronomy 8 in context

Scripture Focus

11Beware that thou forget not the LORD thy God, in not keeping his commandments, and his judgments, and his statutes, which I command thee this day:

12Lest when thou hast eaten and art full, and hast built goodly houses, and dwelt therein;

13And when thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied, and all that thou hast is multiplied;

14Then thine heart be lifted up, and thou forget the LORD thy God, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage;

15Who led thee through that great and terrible wilderness, wherein were fiery serpents, and scorpions, and drought, where there was no water; who brought thee forth water out of the rock of flint;

16Who fed thee in the wilderness with manna, which thy fathers knew not, that he might humble thee, and that he might prove thee, to do thee good at thy latter end;

17And thou say in thine heart, My power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this wealth.

18But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.

Deuteronomy 8:11-18

Biblical Context

The passage cautions not to forget the LORD when you are blessed. Prosperity is given by God and aims to sustain the covenant, not dethrone the Source.

Neville's Inner Vision

Your inner text, like Deuteronomy, warns you not to forget the LORD your God when abundance comes. Wealth is not a trophy of cleverness; it is the energy of the I AM moving through your imagination to establish the covenant you accept within. The wilderness tale is your present state when you refuse to surrender to Source and remain self-reliant. The fiery serpents and drought are memory-forms of fear that threaten trust; manna is the daily supply that appears as you stay aligned, humble, and teachable. When you say my power and the might of my hand hath gotten me this wealth, you misread the signs. The true source is God-granted power to get wealth, given to awaken your covenant with your higher self. The shift is to own the I AM as source, and to use that awareness to bless, uplift, and establish your covenant in this day.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly and declare I am the I AM, the power to get wealth, and feel the abundance as real. Revise any sense of lack by visualizing your covenant with your higher self manifesting today.
