The Hardened Heart Within
Exodus 10:20 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Exodus 10 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Pharaoh's heart is hardened by the LORD so the Israelites cannot go. This reveals how inner convictions can block or permit movement.
Neville's Inner Vision
Neville Goddard-style reading of Exodus 10:20: the hardened heart is inner resistance. By revision and feeling it real awaken guidance and deliverance through I AM. Exodus 10:20 is not a history but a map of your consciousness. Pharaoh stands for fixed mental states—the stubborn 'I' that says, 'It cannot be.' The LORD hardening his heart is the divine pressure of consciousness refusing to let you move from old patterns until you choose a different possibility. The movement of God within you does not coerce; it reveals. When you limit yourself, you keep your own desires from leaving the house of your mind; when you yield to the I AM and assume the end, you awaken the inner deliverance. Your escape from bondage is achieved by an inner revision: tell yourself that you already are free, that the doors are open, that the people and conditions you seek are responding to your new assumption. Feel the scene as real, see it in your imagination, and persist until it feels true. The so-called hardening is simply your present state showing you what to revise. The moment you settle into the end, the exterior will align.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Sit quietly. Revise the scene in your mind to the end you desire—say 'I am free now' and feel the relief as if it is real; hold that end for several breaths.
