Inner Eye of El-Roi
Genesis 16:13 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Genesis 16 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Genesis 16:13 records Hagar naming God as the God who sees me, recognizing a divine presence that witnesses her life in the desert.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within this brief encounter, God is not distant thunder but the I AM taking form as the seer within you. Hagar, worn and displaced, turns her attention inward and names the presence that has spoken to her as the one who truly observes. The moment of realization is an awakening to consciousness: you do not move through life at the mercy of blind circumstance, but under the gaze of awareness that you are. The sees me phrase is a declaration of the inner fact that your nature is seen by the I AM, thus your life is already held in providence. In Neville's terms, the inner movement is belief becoming event—the feeling that you are already seen dissolves fear, casts out loneliness, and permits grace, mercy, and guidance to operate within your circumstances. The desert becomes an arena of revelation, not punishment, because you recognize yourself as the witness and the witnesser. When you live from the conviction I am seen by the I AM, you permit the unseen to reshape appearances into harmony and favors.
Practice This Now
Assume the mood and feel I am seen by the I AM, then hold that awareness for a few minutes; observe fear soften and guidance arise in daily life.
