Hagar's Inner Victory

Genesis 21:17-18 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Genesis 21 in context

Scripture Focus

17And God heard the voice of the lad; and the angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven, and said unto her, What aileth thee, Hagar? fear not; for God hath heard the voice of the lad where he is.
18Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thine hand; for I will make him a great nation.
Genesis 21:17-18

Biblical Context

God hears the cry of the lad and tells Hagar not to fear, promising to make the lad into a great nation, while urging her to rise and hold him as a future possibility.

Neville's Inner Vision

In a Neville Goddard mode, the lad signifies a living wish within your consciousness, a future self your imagination is birthing. The angel from heaven is the voice of your higher I AM, addressing fear with, What aileth thee? fear not; for God hath heard the voice of the lad where he is. Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thine hand means you must elevate and actively support the imagined state, treating it as already real. When you nurture this inner state, the promise that he will become a great nation manifests as inner abundance and a sense of covenant, proving that your inner loyalty to the desired outcome yields outer fruit. The reassurance that God hears the lad’s voice shows the wish already speaks within you; fear dissolves when you stand as the I AM, listening and acting with firm imaginative conviction.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly, image the lad nestled in your arms, then feel yourself lifting him into your awareness. Declare with feeling: I AM hearing you; you are held by my hand; you shall be a great nation through my consciousness.
