Return to Inner Land of God
Hosea 9:1-4 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Hosea 9 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Hosea 9:1-4 warns Israel not to rejoice in worldly pleasure because they have turned from God; their offerings are polluted, their land will fail, exile follows, and true worship is blocked by ritual without alignment.
Neville's Inner Vision
In the inner economy of the I AM, Hosea’s portrait of rejoicing apart from God reveals a disordered state of consciousness. When you seek nourishment on every corn floor—the floor and the winepress—outside of divine awareness, your inner manna dries up. They shall not dwell in the LORD's land; exile to Egypt and unclean food in Assyria mirrors the soul wandering from its center, feeding on symbols that pollute rather than purify. Sacrifices become the bread of mourners, because they are appetites bound to lack rather than communion with the I AM. The remedy is a shift in identification: acknowledge the LORD as your inner dwelling and return to the inner land where true nourishment flows from awareness, not from external ritual. When you revise the self to be already in the I AM, the inner bread becomes nourishment again, clean and fit for the house of the LORD.
Practice This Now
Assume the I AM is dwelling in you now; revise any sense of exile and feel the inner land opening as you imagine bread that nourishes your soul in the LORD's house.
