Exodus 8:19

Biblical Context

The magicians acknowledge a power beyond their tricks, calling it the finger of God. Pharaoh's heart remains hardened, and he does not heed the sign.

Neville's Inner Vision

Exodus 8:19 speaks of the magicians naming an inner power as the 'finger of God,' while Pharaoh's heart remains unmoved. In Neville's language, the finger is not a sign printed in the sky but a piercing awareness within. The true event is your state of consciousness: when you assume the I AM, you invite the form that matches it into your experience. The magicians represent habitual thoughts and clever solutions that pretend to perform, yet they cannot override a deeper law you have not yet declared as true. Pharaoh's hardness is the stubborn belief that life is ruled by appearances, not by your inner decree. The sign that God is at work is always in your own inner conviction; until you inhabit the end, outward conditions will mirror the old script. So, refuse to seek proof in external signs; close your eyes and feel the I AM breathing through you, and imagine the miracle as already done. Let the inner finger guide your belief and let your world conform to your assumed state.
