Hosea 5:3 Inner Covenant Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Hosea, Ephraim and Israel are not distant lands but states of consciousness. The phrase 'not hid from me' is a teaching that the I AM—your true self—perceives every inner movement. The 'whoredom' spoken of is not only a historical stain but the mind’s restless chase after images, idols, and outward performances that defile the sense of self. When you fix attention on rituals, status, or external gods, you unconsciously violate the covenant you already are. The inner covenant remains constant; it is your essential identity waiting to be acknowledged. The healing instruction is to revise the inner state through a simple act of assumption: claim loyalty to the inner covenant here and now, and dwell in that recognition until it and its feeling become real. Remember: imagination creates reality, and your awareness is the God within that sees all. By shifting your consciousness to the I AM, you convert defilement into a purified sense of self.
