Genesis 12:10-13 Inner Famine Lifted

Genesis 12:10-13 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Genesis 12 in context

Scripture Focus

10And there was a famine in the land: and Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn there; for the famine was grievous in the land.
11And it came to pass, when he was come near to enter into Egypt, that he said unto Sarai his wife, Behold now, I know that thou art a fair woman to look upon:
12Therefore it shall come to pass, when the Egyptians shall see thee, that they shall say, This is his wife: and they will kill me, but they will save thee alive.
13Say, I pray thee, thou art my sister: that it may be well with me for thy sake; and my soul shall live because of thee.
Genesis 12:10-13

Biblical Context

There was a famine in the land; Abram moves into Egypt to endure the scarcity. Fearing for his life, he asks Sarai to say she is his sister, a defensive maneuver born of fear.

Neville's Inner Vision

Abram is a state of consciousness pressed by lack. The famine is the feeling of scarcity within your awareness; Egypt is the dream where appearances press in and threaten your survival. The scene in which he tells Sarai she is his sister is the instinctive strategy born of fear, a split in consciousness that keeps parts apart to seem safe. The I AM, however, is unity itself and cannot be divided. When fear speaks of dying, you can answer from the sovereign state inside: there is no external force that can undo the truth of your oneness. Sit with this revision: 'We are one, I and the beloved of my heart; the whole of consciousness shelters us.' Then notice that the outer plan shifts to reflect the inner alignment. The famine dissolves as you return to the awareness that you live in abundance under the I AM, and imagination becomes the instrument by which you re-create your reality rather than a shield against it. Trust the inner unity, and acts born of fear are replaced by acts born of faith.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes, breathe deeply, and revise the scene aloud: 'We are one; the I AM protects us.' Hold that feeling for a few minutes while picturing the land as luminous, not barren.
