Read Ezra 10 in context

Scripture Focus

Ezra 10:44

Biblical Context

Ezra 10:44 notes that these people took strange wives, producing children. It marks a break in covenant loyalty and spiritual purity.

Neville's Inner Vision

Listen to Ezra 10:44 as a map of your inward state. The 'strange wives' are inner attachments--habits, stories, or desires that have wed themselves to your mind's sanctuary. When such ties endure, they yield outcomes--children born of belief--that manifest as conditions you call real. In the Neville mode, you are not condemning others but noticing the alignment of your own consciousness with an idol of separation. The I AM, your true awareness, remains untouched; it is the seed that quiets the noise of attachment when you turn to it. The practice is simple: assume the end of these bonds now, revise the state by declaring, 'I am united with the covenant of God within me,' and feel that truth as your living reality. Observe the change and let the imagined children dissolve, replaced by a fresh sense of purity and fidelity to the I AM. The moment you hold this awareness, the outer forms adjust to your inner loyalty.

Practice This Now

Practice: sit quietly, declare, 'I am the I AM; I choose the covenant over all attachments.' Then imagine the strange ties dissolving and your inner sanctuary clear, with the awareness ruling.
