Genesis 24:9 Inner Covenant
Genesis 24:9 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Genesis 24 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
A faithful servant places his hand and swears to Abraham about a matter, marking a solemn bond of loyalty. The act signals obedience to a higher authority and the seriousness of covenant.
Neville's Inner Vision
The servant is a state of consciousness, loyal to the ideal of Abraham—the I AM within. The act of placing the hand under the thigh symbolizes grounding a desire in the root of self, where life and power flow. The oath is an inner commitment: consciousness chooses the end and binds itself to it, cultivating covenant loyalty, obedience, and trust. By treating the imagined state as already real, one steadies attention, quiets doubt, and aligns the whole being with the promised outcome. This is the practical artistry Neville teaches: to inhabit a state until it feels inevitable, letting imagination create the future by present confidence in the inner covenant.
Practice This Now
Place your hand on your chest and, in the present tense, declare: 'I AM the I AM; I have sworn to fulfill this desire, and it is done.' Then feel it real for a minute, letting the belief sink into your bones.
