Genesis 4:26

Biblical Context

Genesis 4:26 records Seth's son Enos and marks the moment when people began to call on the name of the LORD. It signals a shift from mere lineage to conscious worship.

Neville's Inner Vision

Verse 4:26 whispers that Seth's birth of Enos ushers in the first natural act of worship—the inner call upon the LORD. In the Neville Goddard sense, the LORD is the I AM within you, the wakeful awareness that persists behind every thought. The birth of Enos is the inner birth of a consideration that you are capable of addressing the Self, and that invocation begins to shape your inner weather. When you invite the NAME—your own awareness—to be present, you are not petitioning a distant deity but affirming your own being as the current ruler of your experience. The 'beginning' of calling on the NAME marks the transition from passive lineage to active imagination; belief becomes presence, and desire becomes a steady petition that reorganizes state into faith, trust, and manifested form. Practically, this verse invites you to practice the attitude of one already in communion, to let the inner voice you carry be the voice of the Lord within, and to expect that the world will conform to that inner state.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Assume you are already in the presence of the LORD within. Silently repeat 'I AM' as a living fact and feel its reality throughout your day.
