Secure Field of Assurance

Genesis 23:17 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Genesis 23 in context

Scripture Focus

17And the field of Ephron, which was in Machpelah, which was before Mamre, the field, and the cave which was therein, and all the trees that were in the field, that were in all the borders round about, were made sure
Genesis 23:17

Biblical Context

Genesis 23:17 records the field of Ephron in Machpelah being made sure, a legal-physical act confirming Abraham’s possession of a tomb for Sarah and the surrounding trees and borders.

Neville's Inner Vision

Genesis 23:17 can be read as a Neville-style parable: the field is your inner boundary, a state of consciousness you must claim as already yours. The cave, the trees, and the borders are the inner surroundings—habits, fears, loyalties—that circle your sense of self. When you declare the field 'made sure' by assumption, you enact the covenant of loyalty to your I AM, and wealth and provision become a natural outgrowth of that inner state. This is not a geographical transaction but a spiritual one: you own your abundance, your family, and your stewardship by a settled feeling that the vision is already realized. The focus on boundary and boundaries around the field mirrors how you guard your heart and your commitments; creation care and responsible use of inner riches follow from the awareness you cultivate. As you hold to the feeling that you are the rightful possessor, the outer conditions align with your inner claim, and life moves to match the inner picture.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume, now, that the field of abundance is yours; feel the borders around it and the trees within it as signs of your realized state, and declare, 'I am the owner of this field now.'
