Abram's Inner Covenant Journey

Genesis 12:1-7 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Genesis 12 in context

Scripture Focus

1Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee:
2And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
3And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
4So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran.
5And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son, and all their substance that they had gathered, and the souls that they had gotten in Haran; and they went forth to go into the land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came.
6And Abram passed through the land unto the place of Sichem, unto the plain of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the land.
7And the LORD appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will I give this land: and there builded he an altar unto the LORD, who appeared unto him.
Genesis 12:1-7

Biblical Context

God calls Abram to leave his homeland and go to a land He will reveal. He promises Abram great blessing and a lineage through whom all families will be blessed; Abram moves in obedience and arrives in the land as God appears to him.

Neville's Inner Vision

Your call to Abram is your call to a new self. God is the I AM, not a distant person; the command Get thee out of thy country is the decision to move your center of attention from old identifications to a larger sense of self. The land that I will shew thee is the inner landscape you are about to inhabit by assumption. The blessing— I will make of thee a great nation, I will bless thee, and thou shalt be a blessing— speaks of the radiance you awaken when you dwell in that I AM. The consequence, 'in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed,' is the truth you realize when you see your own consciousness as the root of all events: as you imagine, you bless others. Abram departs 'as the LORD had spoken,' meaning your inner light moves when you accept the inner word. Passing through the land and coming into the land of Canaan, you traverse states of consciousness in your imagination, until the I AM appears within you, saying, Unto thy seed will I give this land: realize that you already stand in it. Build your altar—a moment of acknowledgement—here and now to remind you of the presence.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume you already stand in the promised land of your choosing; feel the blessing as reality now and repeat, 'I am the land, I am the blessing, I am the promise realized' for one minute.
