Inner Idols, True Worship
Hosea 2:10-13 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Hosea 2 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Hosea 2:10-13 depicts God revealing the idolatries of the heart, stopping outward mirth and feast days, and removing the outward rewards by which one once justified false worship.
Neville's Inner Vision
Beloved, this text is the drama of your own consciousness. The lewdness is not a sexual crime but the fever of seeking life from external lovers—money, status, festival, approval. The I AM within you reveals these illusions, and the mirth that once fed them ceases as the old order is shown to be hollow. The vines and fig trees are the crops of outdated beliefs about reward, now to be burned away, leaving a forest where only awareness thrives. The days of Baalim represent the habits of worshiping something outside your I AM, while the memory of the Source is forgotten. But the LORD’s visitation is a cleansing of the screen of your mind, so you may see your true self there: the I AM. When you accept this inner recalibration, external symbols lose their grip and true worship arises from within, not from performances.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, declare I am the I AM, and revise the scene by lifting your dependence on outward pleasures. Feel inside that you already possess inner abundance, and let the external 'lovers' fade as you rest in the I AM.
