Genesis 20:17-18 Inner Healing
Genesis 20:17-18 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Genesis 20 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Abraham prays to God, and God heals Abimelech, his wife, and their servants; they begin to bear children. The LORD had closed all the wombs in Abimelech's house because of Sarah.
Neville's Inner Vision
In this scene, healing is not a historical event but an inner shift. Abraham stands for your higher self, the I AM, turning to God, the living awareness within you. When Abraham prays, healing flows; Abimelech's household bears children because your consciousness aligns with life’s inexhaustible supply. The closing of the wombs is a vivid image of an inner blockage—fear, doubt, or the belief that life withholds. Prayer becomes the act of assuming a different state of consciousness, a revision that asserts life’s abundance. As you dwell in that assumed state, the inner womb unlocks and the outward world mirrors the change: doors open, circumstances renew, and vitality returns to people and projects as if given new birth. The healing you witness is therefore not distant but a manifestation of your I AM working through your prayers, your alignments, and the felt sense that life is continuous and available.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and declare I AM the Life that flows through me now. Revise any blockage by imagining the womb of consciousness opening to bear fruit in my life.
