Inner Birth of Faith
Genesis 18:13 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Genesis 18 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Genesis 18:13 shows God questioning Sarah's doubt about bearing a child in old age, revealing how inner belief governs outer possibilities.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within Genesis, the 'LORD' who speaks is the I AM—the awareness behind Abraham's tent. Sarah's laughter is not a joke about biology but a confession of limitation born from a mind set on what cannot be. The birth of a son in the old covenant symbolizes any new life your consciousness would bring forth—the money, the project, the healing, the future that seems impossible. When the voice asks, 'Wherefore did Sarah laugh?' it is the inner correction that says, 'You have forgotten who you are.' Nothing is too hard for the I AM; the inner decree already holds the end in view. The moment you see the end as already secure and dwell in that end-state by imagining yourself as the parent of your desire, the outer scene rearranges to match the inner image. Your faith is not belief in something distant; it is the living, inner memory of what you have decided is true. Revisit your covenant with the I AM and treat your future as present now.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume the end you seek is already fulfilled; mentally say, 'It is done; I am the parent of my future.' Then, dwell in that feeling until a sense of proof rises and the scene around you begins to align.
