Inner Sacrifice Awakening

Genesis 22:1-3 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Genesis 22 in context

Scripture Focus

1And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am.
2And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.
3And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son, and clave the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went unto the place of which God had told him.
Genesis 22:1-3

Biblical Context

Genesis 22:1-3 presents God testing Abraham by commanding him to offer his son Isaac; Abraham answers, 'Here I am,' and moves toward the mountain to fulfill the command.

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, the scene you read is not about a father sacrificing a son; it is the dramatic demonstration that your inner state is being tested for its readiness to be governed by the I AM. The 'God' who tempts is the one who calls you to reexamine your deepest assumption: that your sense of self is grounded in a future promise and in an object. 'Here I am' is the firm acknowledgment that you are the I AM, not the body or the fear. Isaac, the son you love, stands for your cherished belief or goal—the very seed of your expectation. When the command comes to offer him, you are invited to release attachment and to stop leaning on that belief as the source of life. Then, when you ascend to the place God tells you of, you ascend in consciousness to a higher vantage where the old state is no longer seen as you. The burning offering is the conversion of the old image into pure awareness. In such surrender, the truth of the I AM stands revealed: you are already where you seek to be because you are the creator of your reality.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit, repeat 'Here I am' to the I AM, and softly offer your cherished belief on an inner altar. Then imagine the new state already present, feel it real, and move from that higher alignment.
