Power, Wealth, and the I Am

Deuteronomy 8:17-18 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Deuteronomy 8 in context

Scripture Focus

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 8:17-18

Biblical Context

The passage warns against claiming personal power and wealth, reminding us that God grants the power to prosper to sustain His covenant.

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider the cry, 'My power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this wealth.' In Neville’s psychology, the 'I' that speaks is your state of consciousness; wealth is the outer reflection of an inner assumption. The true giver is the awareness you call the I AM, not a separate fate. When you bow to that inner law—remember the LORD thy God, for it is He that giveth thee power to get wealth—you release the vibration that creates experience. Pride dissolves as you shift from 'I did this' to 'God within me did this through me.' Wealth becomes not a possession to boast about, but a sign that your inner covenant is alive: your decisions, thoughts, and feelings have aligned with the divine source. By holding the memory that power comes from your inner God-state, you invite Providence to steer your steps, guide your action, and crown your efforts with results that honor the covenant. The shift is immediate when you rest in the realization that you are the I AM imagining through itself.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, place a hand on your chest, and repeat, 'I am the power by which wealth is formed; the I AM within me is my source.' Sit in that feeling until it appears as a present reality. Then act from that felt sense.
