Hosea 4:1 Inner Controversy
Hosea 4:1 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Hosea 4 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The LORD speaks against the land because truth, mercy, and knowledge of God are lacking. This reveals an inner dispute arising from that absence within the consciousness.
Neville's Inner Vision
In Neville’s vision, the phrase the word of the LORD is the living I AM within you. The controversy with the inhabitants of the land signifies inner conflict when you identify with lack. When truth, mercy, and knowledge seem absent, your inner state becomes a barren landscape. Imagination, however, is the instrument by which you reorder that soil. Do not seek truth as an outside thing; assume it as your essential being. Do not chase mercy as a distant virtue; claim mercy as your natural stance. Do not yearn for knowledge; recognize knowledge as the immediate awareness that you already possess. As you revise your sense of self to align with I AM, the inner vibration shifts, and the external world follows suit, harmonizing with your renewed inner reality. The so-called controversy dissolves as you dwell in the affirmed presence of truth, mercy, and knowledge here and now.
Practice This Now
Assume the state: I AM truth, I AM mercy, I AM knowledge now. Rest in that feeling until the sense of lack fades and the land within harmonizes.
