Awakening to the Inner Well
Genesis 21:19 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Genesis 21 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Genesis 21:19 shows God opening Hagar's eyes to see a well of water, revealing an inner resource that becomes available when consciousness awakens. This portrays provision as an inner perception rather than mere external circumstance.
Neville's Inner Vision
Genesis 21:19 is a vivid teaching in the language of inner states. When God opens her eyes, Hagar shifts from reliance on outer means to awareness of an inner reservoir that has always existed within her. In Neville’s psychology, the I AM—awareness itself—discovers a well in the field of her consciousness, and the visible provision follows the recognition. The act of filling the bottle and giving water to the lad is the practical embodiment of the wish fulfilled: one acts from abundance rather than lack, pouring forth the life that is already present in the inner kingdom. Providence is not distant mercy but immediate recognition; awaken to your own inner supply and your deeds become expressions of grace that meet every need. Remember that lack is a misalignment of state; align the state, and the outer reveals the inner gift you carry.
Practice This Now
Assume you are already awakened to inner abundance. Close your eyes, visualize an inner well, fill a bottle with its water, and give the lad a drink, feeling the abundance flow through you.
