Fear to Faith Awakening
Genesis 20:8 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Genesis 20 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Abimelech rises early, gathers his officials, and relates troubling news that leaves the people in fear.
Neville's Inner Vision
Genesis 20:8 shows Abimelech rising with a report that unsettles the camp, and the entire company is overcome with fear. In Neville's psychology, this fear is not a factual invasion but a state of consciousness you entertain. The 'early morning' speaks to a mindful moment when you can revise the scene. The servants and the people mirror a crowd of beliefs you have accepted as real: the thought that danger lurks and fate is not on your side. Yet the law within you is the I AM, the presence that cannot be touched by a single rumor. By refusing to consent to the fear, you can perform a simple inner act: assume a different report to replace the fear with security, protection, and guidance. Rehearse that you are under divine providence, that the inner government of your life operates through wisdom. When you do, the 'camp' quiets, and the fear dissolves, because you have shifted the state from threat to assurance.
Practice This Now
Assume the inner scene as already true: 'My inner camp rests in the I AM; fear is dissolved by the perception of divine protection.' Feel it real by breathing calmly and letting a gentle smile arise inwardly.
