Kadesh Barnea Within: Inner Rebellion

Deuteronomy 9:23-24 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Deuteronomy 9 in context

Scripture Focus

23Likewise when the LORD sent you from Kadeshbarnea, saying, Go up and possess the land which I have given you; then ye rebelled against the commandment of the LORD your God, and ye believed him not, nor hearkened to his voice.
24Ye have been rebellious against the LORD from the day that I knew you.
Deuteronomy 9:23-24

Biblical Context

Deuteronomy 9:23-24 recounts Israel’s rebellion after being commanded to possess the land, and notes their continual disobedience from the day God knew them.

Neville's Inner Vision

What you call a rebellious people is really a rebel within your own consciousness. The LORD in the text signifies the higher I AM that calls you to move up, to possess your promised land of health, wealth, or peace. The command to go up and take the land is not a history lesson but an inner decree. Your belief that you cannot heed the voice is the moment you refuse the invitation of your own inner governor. When you doubt, you deny your own immediacy with the I AM and create separation between your desired state and your present awareness. The phrase ' Ye have been rebellious... from the day that I knew you' marks the persistence of a habit of imagination opposed to the truth of your oneness. To reinterpret this, assume you are already possessing as you are commanded by your higher self; revise the inner narrative from limitation to sufficiency; feel the joy of arrivedness now. In this act, what Moses called history becomes your present inner demonstration.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Assume you now possess your desired land; revise the belief of limitation into certainty; feel it real by dropping into the emotional state of arrival and walking in that land now.
