Inner Visit of Sarah's Promise
Genesis 21:1 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Genesis 21 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Genesis 21:1 records the LORD visiting Sarah as He had said, and doing as He spoke. It signals the divine presence and the fulfillment of covenant promises within the inner life.
Neville's Inner Vision
Genesis 21:1 is not a history lesson alone; it is a map of consciousness. The LORD visiting Sarah is the I AM visiting a state of mind that waits in faith and loyalty to a spoken word. In Neville's practice, the visitation is an inner event: when you acknowledge that you are the I AM, you invite the promised word to enter your awareness and take form. Sarah represents a long-held expectancy in your mind—the energy of possibility awaiting its moment of realization. The phrase 'as he had spoken' invites you to treat the promise as already true, to refuse the evidence of lack and to dwell in the assurance that your inner word creates your outer world. When you rest in that assumption, the 'visitation' arrives as a shift in feeling, a sense of life moving in harmony with the promise. Imagination becomes the instrument by which what God has spoken becomes your experience, precisely as in the verse.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and silently declare: I AM visiting my consciousness now, and the promised outcome is realized. For five minutes, breathe with the feeling that the visitation has already occurred, letting that sense color your next choices.
