Inner Hospitality in Genesis 19:2

Genesis 19:2 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Genesis 19 in context

Scripture Focus

2And he said, Behold now, my lords, turn in, I pray you, into your servant's house, and tarry all night, and wash your feet, and ye shall rise up early, and go on your ways. And they said, Nay; but we will abide in the street all night.
Genesis 19:2

Biblical Context

The passage shows inviting guests to shelter, wash, and rest, highlighting hospitality as a spiritual posture that opens the way to God’s presence within.

Neville's Inner Vision

In your inner theatre, the 'lords' at the door are not mere strangers but the pressing states of awareness seeking entry. Saying, 'turn in to my servant's house' is a conscious acknowledgment that your mind can host what appears foreign and holy. Inviting them to tarry means you give attention to a new state long enough for it to reveal its nature. The washing of feet is not mere ritual; it cleanses old beliefs that resist the new visitation, removing dusty identifications that block direct knowing. Rise early and go on your ways signals that after resting with the presence, you are called to act from it, aligning your day with the newly entered consciousness. The street outside represents the outer world of appearances; resisting entry denotes reluctance to change. Your practice is to treat every inner impression as a guest from the I AM, shelter it, revise until it shines, and move forward from a renewed inner state into outward action.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Assume you are already hosting the divine visitation in your mind; declare, 'I shelter this state; I am at home with it now,' and then feel and act from that renewed awareness today.
