Neville Goddard on Ezekiel 29:7-8 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ezekiel 29 in context

Scripture Focus

7When they took hold of thee by thy hand, thou didst break, and rend all their shoulder: and when they leaned upon thee, thou brakest, and madest all their loins to be at a stand.

8Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will bring a sword upon thee, and cut off man and beast out of thee.

Ezekiel 29:7-8

Biblical Context

The passage shows the futility of leaning on external powers for security; when you seek help from others or environments, your inner strength falters and a shift is required.

Neville's Inner Vision

You are the I AM behind the scene; the 'they' and the 'sword' are your own states of consciousness being corrected. When you lean on Egypt—on rulers, opinions, or the crowd—you are asserting that power resides outside your awareness. The moment you feel the 'sword' come, it is not punishment but a translation of your consciousness, a clean cutting away of the old dependence so you may awaken to inner sovereignty. Rather than changing the outer circumstances, revise your ruling assumption: I am the one who governs my world; the outer world merely reflects my inner posture. Let the sword dissolve that old image and reveal the possibility of self-reliance within. As you inhabit this inner movement, the kingdom within becomes your sole power and the world aligns to your renewed image. This is not loss but an invitation to return to the living I AM who operates behind every scene.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes; recall a current reliance on someone or something outside you. Silently affirm, 'I am the I AM; I govern this situation from within,' and feel the dependency loosen as you breathe into the inner power.
