Neville Goddard on Hosea 7:15-16 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Hosea 7 in context

Scripture Focus

15Though I have bound and strengthened their arms, yet do they imagine mischief against me.

16They return, but not to the most High: they are like a deceitful bow: their princes shall fall by the sword for the rage of their tongue: this shall be their derision in the land of Egypt.

Hosea 7:15-16

Biblical Context

God has bound and strengthened their arms, yet they imagine mischief against Him. They return not to the Most High and behave like a deceitful bow whose power is misdirected.

Neville's Inner Vision

Here Hosea speaks to the inner man. The bind and strengthen are the I AM's gifts to life; when the mind imagines mischief against this I AM, it turns away from the Source and its arrows misfire. The return is not to true loyalty but to old patterns—habitual thoughts, fears, and tongues that pretend allegiance while undermining power. The deceitful bow reveals how your thoughts can promise aim while masking resistance to divine order. When your decisions and words are driven by such inner motion, you suffer the derision of Egypt—the result is limitation you have accepted. The remedy is simple and radical: return consciousness to the Most High within, align your instrument with the I AM, and let imagination reorient toward harmony, wholeness, and right action. The moment you do, seeming opposition dissolves and your life reorients to a single, steadfast aim.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly and place your hand on your chest. Silently declare I am the I AM; I return to the Most High within me now, until the old impulse dissolves.
