Inner Turning: Hosea 5:4
Hosea 5:4 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Hosea 5 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
They refuse to direct their deeds toward God, and a spirit of unfaithfulness sits within them, leaving them ignorant of the LORD.
Neville's Inner Vision
Verse 5:4 reveals, through Neville Goddard's lens, that the 'spirit of whoredoms' is a state of consciousness—an entrenched habit of chasing appearances rather than the truth within. You are not condemned; you have simply forgotten your true identity as the I AM. The remedy is inward: assume the God-state, revise your inner stance, and feel the presence of the LORD as your own. When you imagine yourself as the God-conscious I AM, your actions align with that truth and the external temptations lose their grip. Knowledge of the LORD arises as a present realization, not as a memory; your mind becomes the instrument through which God thinks, and your life reflects that God-thought. Practice turning from dependence on outward symbols to the inner identity that you are God in expression, and observe how the outer world follows the inward conversion.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, rest a hand on your chest, and imagine the I AM as a warm center of awareness in you. Speak softly: 'I turn my deeds to God within; I am aware of God in me,' and feel that truth enlarge your sense of self.
