Exodus 14:17-18 Inner Honor
Exodus 14:17-18 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Exodus 14 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The passage says God will harden the Egyptians' hearts so they pursue, and He will be honored by Pharaoh and his army, revealing the LORD to the Egyptians.
Neville's Inner Vision
From a Neville Goddard perspective, the Pharaohs and the hardening are inner states of consciousness. The Egyptians symbolize fixed beliefs and resistant thoughts; their hardening reflects your own mind's insistence on limitation. The verse reveals that the I AM within you will secure honor by Pharaoh—your persistent, unconscious patterns—so that the LORD within (your true awareness) is publicly acknowledged. This is not about external enemies but about awakening your sovereign inner authority. The honor assigned to Pharaoh and his hosts becomes a demonstration of your inner truth: as you soften resistance and align with the I AM, the apparent opposition reveals its emptiness and dissolves into recognition of your oneness with God. Deliverance, then, is not a future event but a present shift in consciousness, where the inner ruler asserts itself over the imagined armies, proving that the LORD within governs all scenes of your life.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Sit quietly and imagine the scene already resolved; declare, 'I AM the LORD within; this is already done.' Feel the truth as present-tense sensation until it floods your chest.
