Inner Manna: Faith Beyond Bread

Deuteronomy 8:3-4 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Deuteronomy 8 in context

Scripture Focus

3And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live.
4Thy raiment waxed not old upon thee, neither did thy foot swell, these forty years.
Deuteronomy 8:3-4

Biblical Context

True life does not come from bread alone but from the word that proceeds from the LORD. The forty years illustrate lasting divine provision sustained by inner trust.

Neville's Inner Vision

Here is the conversion: hunger becomes a sign that the old belief in food as life’s source is not final. The true supply comes from the word that proceeds from the mouth of the LORD—the I AM within you. When you recognize that your 'bread' is a sign, not a source, you can change the state you are in. The forty years show that your outer world follows your inner state; clothing does not wear because your awareness remains young. You live by every word—every impulse of divine thought—that proceeds from your inner LORD. Therefore, imagine your needs fulfilled by the very words you hold in mind: I am fed by divine intelligence; I am guided, preserved, and intent. As you dwell in that state, your senses respond; doors open; the seemingly fixed conditions yield to the will of the inner word. Hunger dissolves into a confident trust that the I AM provides and you live by it now.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes and assume the state 'I am fed by the Word of God; I live by divine bread.' Feel the reality now and carry that inner certainty through the day.
