Genesis 20:17 Inner Healing

Genesis 20:17 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Genesis 20 in context

Scripture Focus

17So Abraham prayed unto God: and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maidservants; and they bare children.
Genesis 20:17

Biblical Context

Abraham prays to God, and God heals Abimelech and his household, resulting in them bearing children.

Neville's Inner Vision

In this reading, the scene is a drama of consciousness. Abraham’s prayer is the stabilizing of a state—the I AM within all involved—that recognises health as already present. God’s healing of Abimelech, his wife, and their maidservants is the natural-outcome of a mind kept in the truth that life is rend from God and flows through every relationship. The verse teaches that intercession is not merely petition but the fortification of a healing state; when one holds the image of wholeness for others and aligns with the inner assurance that health is the essential reality, external events—fertility, restoration, and harmony—manifest accordingly. Thus, healing follows belief, not delay. The act of praying is a deliberate revision of perceived lack into the available field of God-life, and the result—children born—becomes the outward sign that inner harmony has already occurred. This is the practical demonstration that your inner atmosphere creates the outer world, including the bodies and lives around you.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the feeling of Abimelech’s household already restored and thriving; dwell in that state as your I AM for them, and breathe into the sense that this wholeness is already true.
