Neville Goddard on Deuteronomy 9:18-19 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Deuteronomy 9 in context

Scripture Focus

18And I fell down before the LORD, as at the first, forty days and forty nights: I did neither eat bread, nor drink water, because of all your sins which ye sinned, in doing wickedly in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.

19For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure, wherewith the LORD was wroth against you to destroy you. But the LORD hearkened unto me at that time also.

Deuteronomy 9:18-19

Biblical Context

Moses prays and fasts before the LORD for the people, fearing His wrath. The LORD hearkens and grants mercy despite the people's sins.

Neville's Inner Vision

See the scene as your inner drama. The Moses in you stands in the LORD's presence—the I AM—on behalf of a mind that trembles at wrath. The forty days and nights are a disciplined focusing of attention, not a literal fast; you are fasting from the old story that you are separate from good. When you fear anger, you are acknowledging the old consciousness clinging to guilt. Yet the LORD hearkens unto me at that time also: your inner God answers when you shift into a new state of being. The intercessor within is your technique: you petition from the I AM as if forgiveness is already yours, not as a plea but as a statement of fact. Sit in quiet and repeat, 'I am the Lord hearing my own prayer; I am forgiven and held in mercy.' In truth, the external events you fear are only memories your mind repeats; when you assume the end, the inner response aligns with it. Your past is redeemed by the present conviction of your true nature.

Practice This Now
