Inner Call of Priesthood
Hebrews 5:4 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Hebrews 5 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse declares that the honour of priesthood cannot be taken by oneself; only those called by God, as Aaron, share in that role.
Neville's Inner Vision
From the Neville lens, 'called of God' is not an external appointment but an inner acknowledgment within your consciousness. The “honour” of priesthood is a state you awaken to, not a badge you force onto yourself. No man taketh this honour unto himself—this declares that vocation flows from obedience to the inner impulse of the I AM, the God within. Aaron stands as a pattern of the outer form that mirrors the inner anointing we all possess when we yield to the divine presence. Therefore, your work and your vocation are first a shift in your inner stance: you align your sense of self with the truth that you are an instrument of the divine will. When you attempt to seize a role without that inner calling, you experience strain; when you revise your self-image to include the capacity and grace of service, you move with ease and confidence, as if the walls themselves came into alignment. Practice obedience to your inner leadings; imagine yourself already in the function you seek, and feel the I AM endorsing you with certainty, clarity, and holiness of purpose.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Sit quietly, recall your own inner call; then assume the feeling of already occupying that sacred role, and let your day unfold under that inner direction.
