Neville Goddard on Genesis 14:18-20 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Genesis 14 in context

Scripture Focus

18And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God.

19And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth:

20And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all.

Genesis 14:18-20

Biblical Context

Abram is blessed by Melchizedek, who honors the Most High God; Abram then tithes of all he has, acknowledging God's lordship over heaven and earth.

Neville's Inner Vision

See the scene as a register of your inner state. Melchizedek is the high priest of your I AM, the office within you that blesses and provides. The bread and wine symbolize nourishment and gratitude flowing from awareness, not from external goods. When the Most High God is named as possessor of heaven and earth, the revelation is simple: your enemies—your doubts, fear, and scarcity—are disarmed the moment you accept this truth in consciousness. Abram’s act of giving tithes of all is loyalty to the higher self, a deliberate returning of your energy to the Source you now recognize as king of all you possess. Wealth and provision do not wait in kingdoms outside you; they flower from within as you dwell in this covenant of consciousness. The blessing announces a present reality: you are the possessor of heaven and earth in your own mind, and outward signs follow from that inward conviction. Practice the felt sense of this truth, and life rearranges to reflect it.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: In stillness, assume you are blessed by the Most High; see Melchizedek offering bread and wine and feel abundance as real now. Declare, I am the possessor of heaven and earth, and let your attention be given to the I AM.
