Read Exodus 3 in context

Scripture Focus

Exodus 3:16

Biblical Context

Exodus 3:16 records God instructing Moses to gather the elders and declare that the LORD, the God of the patriarchs, has appeared and seen the people’s suffering. It signals that true deliverance starts with awareness and a gathered mind.

Neville's Inner Vision

In this verse the tale is not about a distant event in history but a map for your inner life. The call to gather the elders is a reminder to marshal the states of consciousness you have trusted as yourself: memory, fear, desire, and reason. The God of your fathers appearing to you is the moment when I AM, your eternal awareness, looks upon your own Egypt and declares that it has been seen and is not the end. The elders are your entrenched assumptions about lack and limitation, not external people. When you allow the I AM to visit and you assemble these inner authorities, you begin to feel the chain of bondage loosen. The promise of deliverance is the inner shift that comes with the simple recognition that God has visited you and that your reality can be re-scripted by your present awareness. Liberation emerges as you inhabit the truth that you are seen, you are loved, and you are free here and now.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Sit quietly and gather the inner elders of your mind; pronounce the assumption that the I AM has visited you and that you are free from bondage, feeling the release as if it is already real.
