Neville Goddard on Genesis 50:4 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Genesis 50 in context

Scripture Focus

4And when the days of his mourning were past, Joseph spake unto the house of Pharaoh, saying, If now I have found grace in your eyes, speak, I pray you, in the ears of Pharaoh, saying,

Genesis 50:4

Biblical Context

Joseph, after mourning his father, asks Pharaoh's household to speak to Pharaoh so he may fulfill his father's burial wishes with grace.

Neville's Inner Vision

Joseph’s formality is a practice of faith: he petitions the outer state to align with the inner state. You can read it as: when the inner mourning is over, the inner I AM speaks through you to the outer circumstances, asking permission to honor a prior covenant with life itself. The 'grace' is not earned but recognized as your natural state. Thus the mouth that speaks to Pharaoh is the same I AM that governs your days. The act reveals a wisdom: discerning when to act and how to move the next phase of your journey without forcing it. In Neville's terms, you do not petition a stranger; you revise the assumption that you are separated from the fulfillment you seek. You allow the inner governor to release the conditions that make it possible, and you feel it real—in the imagination, the promise is kept, the covenant is honored, and the outer world responds in kind by granting the space to proceed toward your own promised land.

Practice This Now

Assume the state 'I AM Graceful Authority' and feel it real. Imagine speaking to your inner Pharaoh, declaring you have found grace and asking that the space be granted to fulfill the burial covenant.
