Hardened Heart, Inner Choice
Exodus 7:22 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Exodus 7 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse shows the magicians copying enchantments, while Pharaoh's heart remains hard; he refuses to listen, as the Lord had said.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within Neville's teaching, the 'magicians' are your own habits of thought, the enchantments your mind clings to in order to avoid listening to the I AM within. Pharaoh's hardened heart represents an inner disposition that resists the divine idea of you, not a distant character in a history book. The phrase 'as the LORD had said' signals an immutable inner law: your present state reproduces its own world. When you adopt the I AM as your identity and dwell in the truth that you are consciousness, the outer show cannot sustain its spell. The outward wonders fade as you stop feeding fear and separation with belief. Your true power lies in revising this inner state—allowing the divine in you to speak, listen, and act. Imagination becomes your instrument: by aligning with the inner reality of God within, you rewrite the script that will unfold before you.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, declare, I am the I AM now, and imagine the heart turning to listen; dwell in that softened, listening state until it feels real.
