Inner Seed of Covenant
Genesis 21:13 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Genesis 21 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
God declares Ishmael, born of the bondwoman, will become a nation because he is Abraham's seed. This points to how all parts of your inner life are included in the covenant when you align with your I AM.
Neville's Inner Vision
Not as history but as inner truth, Genesis 21:13 speaks to you. The bondwoman's son represents a portion of your consciousness you once deemed outside the covenant. Yet the 'seed' is your living imagination, the I AM that gives birth to every form. The 'nation' is your inner kingdom, a harmonious rule of awareness over circumstance, guided by Providence. The loyalty of the covenant is your fidelity to the truth that your inner state creates your outer world. Ishmael's inclusion shows no aspect of you is unseeded or excluded; every branch originates in the seed. When you dwell in the I AM, you recognize all relationships and plans arise from this one seed and are nourished by it. Through this vision, your life becomes a nation of peace, not by outside change but by an inward alignment with God within.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and revise a current lack as if it is already provided: 'I am the seed of God; my life now expands into a nation of peace and provision.' Hold that feeling until it feels real, and let it guide your next inner step.
