32And that which cometh into your mind shall not be at all, that ye say, We will be as the heathen, as the families of the countries, to serve wood and stone.

Ezekiel 20:32

Biblical Context

Ezekiel 20:32 cautions against entertaining thoughts of becoming like the surrounding nations and worshiping idols. True covenant loyalty, instead, rests in an inner alignment with the I AM rather than outward imitation.

Neville's Inner Vision

From the Neville perspective, the verse reveals that the mind’s impulse to imitate the nations exposes a state of consciousness seeking form outside the self rather than fidelity to the I AM within. What cometh into your mind is not merely a notion but a readiness to inhabit a given state. If you dwell on “we will be as the heathen,” you are divorcing yourself from the living presence and offering worship to empty wood and stone of tradition. The invitation is to turn inward and identify with the I AM—the covenant loyalty that endures beyond external fashions. When you revise the thought to, “I am the I AM, loyal to the God within,” you dissolve the power of idols, for you have redirected attention from outward forms to inner truth. External appearances lose their grip because you no longer feed them with belief. Your acts of worship become a state of consciousness—obedience and faithfulness to the I AM—expressed as integrity, love, and harmony in daily life.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and imagine entering your inner sanctuary. Assume the state 'I am the I AM, loyal to the one God within' and feel that truth filling your mind until it is real.
