Beersheba Covenant Within You
Genesis 21:32-33 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Genesis 21 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Beersheba is the place where a covenant is struck; Abimelech and Phichol depart with Abraham. Abraham then plants a grove at Beersheba and calls on the LORD, the Everlasting God.
Neville's Inner Vision
These lines invite you to see the covenant as a state of consciousness rather than a memory of history. The Beersheba covenant is an inner agreement, a turning of attention toward the I AM within. When Abimelech and his host depart, it is the outer situation yielding to an inward decision. Abraham's planting a grove is not merely planting trees; it is establishing a sanctuary in imagination, a breathing space where you can call upon the name of the LORD, the Everlasting God, the Your I AM that never changes. To call on the LORD is to acknowledge the timeless I AM as present awareness, not a distant deity. The phrase 'Everlasting God' points to the eternal, unconditioned I AM that you are right now. The covenant expresses faith and loyalty to that inner reality; it quiets fear, hydrates trust, and aligns every external move with an inner truth. Practice this: assume you have already joined yourself to the I AM, feel gratitude for the covenant's binding, then speak or imagine the name BEING within you, and watch external circumstances respond to your inner decision.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume you are already in covenant with the I AM. Visualize Beersheba as a grove within and call on the Everlasting God, feeling the I AM present within you now.
