Neville Goddard on Hebrews 3:15-17 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Hebrews 3 in context

Scripture Focus

15While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.

16For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.

17But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness?

Hebrews 3:15-17

Biblical Context

Hebrews 3:15-17 urges you to hear God’s voice today and not harden your heart. It recalls that some who left Egypt provoked Him, and that those who sinned in the wilderness became the object of His grief.

Neville's Inner Vision

To-day is the I AM within you, the present awareness that can listen and respond. Hardening the heart is a refusal to let the inner voice reorient your inner state. The provocation speaks of your own habit of clinging to fear rather than truth. When you hear and yet do not yield, you stay in an imagined wilderness; your inner landscape remains barren because you refuse to imagine from a finished state. God grieves not for distant sin but for persistent belief that life is separate from consciousness. The remedy is a decisive revision: accept that the voice is your own; imagine and feel the promised land as now real; align your inner state with abundance, health, and harmony, and your outer scene will follow. The inner company—the faithful ones—are your aligned desires; the doubters are your old fears; choose faith in the I AM and watch the inner reality transform.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, repeat 'I am the I AM,' and assume the end state you desire—e.g., 'I now live in the land of abundance.' Feel it as real in your body until thoughts and sensations reflect the fulfilled state.
