Inner Covenant of the Land
Genesis 15:16-18 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Genesis 15 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
God reveals a future land covenant with Abram as the sun sets; a symbolic fire-and-lamp ceremony seals the promise to Abram's descendants.
Neville's Inner Vision
Think of these verses as a map of your inner terrain. The fourth generation speaks not of time but of stages of awareness, each step bringing you closer to the land you are meant to possess. The smoking furnace and the burning lamp are not external signs but interior symbols—image and attention moving between the old you and the promised self. When they pass between the pieces, it is your consciousness entering a covenant with its own future, a commitment spoken into the I AM within you: this land, this health, this wholeness, is already given to your seed of consciousness. The covenant is thus an inner contract, not a political decree; the land is an inner territory you claim by assumption. As you mature in trust, you release the old definition of self and allow the new image to anchor. The promise, from river to river, simply marks the breadth of your interior empire when you believe it is yours by right of consciousness.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Close your eyes, declare 'I AM the land of my fulfilled self now,' and feel the location as your present state until it lingers. Then move about your day with that sense as your dominant awareness.
