Trust Beyond Alliances
Hosea 5:13 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Hosea 5 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Ephraim and Judah seek healing by appealing to an Assyrian king, but the verse warns that external aid cannot cure their inner wound. The text points to a deeper law: inner healing comes from the I AM within, not from outside powers.
Neville's Inner Vision
Verse 5:13 presents a scene where Ephraim and Judah, sensing sickness and wound, turn to the Assyrian for healing. The outer alliance cannot heal the inner condition; healing does not come from gods outside the self but from the I AM within. In Neville's language: a nation is a state of consciousness. Ephraim's sickness and Judah's wound are inner shifts—habitual fears, pride, separation—that seek remedy through external power or status. When you imagine that a people or an king can cure you, you reveal your belief in lack and in separation from Source. The moment you accept that no outer alliance has power over your inner state, you free the energy to shift. Providence is not a distant event; it is your own awareness aligned with the I AM. The 'healing' is the shift of identification—from being a separated self to being the one presence, the I AM, that feels, knows, and acts from fullness. Judgment falls as you own responsibility for your inner movements; accountability becomes the gate through which you invite guidance. In this reading, trust replaces fear, and the inner kingdom reorganizes itself as you rest in the certainty that you are, here and now, the healer you seek.
Practice This Now
Assume the healed state now and feel it real. Repeat, 'I AM the healer of my wounds; I trust the I AM within,' letting the sensation of wholeness expand.
