Neville Goddard on Genesis 15:1-6 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Genesis 15 in context

Scripture Focus

1After these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward.

2And Abram said, LORD God, what wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless, and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus?

3And Abram said, Behold, to me thou hast given no seed: and, lo, one born in my house is mine heir.

4And, behold, the word of the LORD came unto him, saying, This shall not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine heir.

5And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be.

6And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness.

Genesis 15:1-6

Biblical Context

God speaks peace to Abram, promising protection and a mighty reward; Abram questions his childless state, and God declares that his heir shall come from his own body, culminating in a belief that is counted as righteousness.

Neville's Inner Vision

God is the I AM awakening within you; this vision is not history but your inner state revealed as future. When Abram says he is childless, he is a state of consciousness convinced of lack. The divine instruction—that the heir comes from within—tells you that your next chapter is born from your own inner faculties. Look up toward the heaven of your own awareness; count not material stars but the tangible ideas, the images that arise within you as possibilities. As you believe, as you count that your seed is indeed, righteousness is credited, not earned from outward works but established as the right-state of consciousness. The moment you accept the promise as already yours, your life begins to align with that inner measure. The world outside becomes a visible sign of your inner covenant. This is the spiritual biology of Abram: the seed is your imagination, and belief is the currency by which God, your I AM, pays you.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly and declare, I am the seed of my promised blessing, and I am already provided for. Then visualize a scene where the inner covenant moves life into outward form, feeling it as real in the present.
