Inner Worship Reimagined

Isaiah 1:11-15 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Isaiah 1 in context

Scripture Focus

11To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the LORD: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats.
12When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts?
13Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting.
14Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them.
15And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.
Isaiah 1:11-15

Biblical Context

In Isaiah 1:11-15, God rejects hollow sacrifices and ritual without inner change. The inner state—alignment with the I AM—must precede any outward offering.

Neville's Inner Vision

To the consciousness reading these verses, the question 'To what purpose' unveils a misreading: God is not impressed by bullocks and burnt offerings when the inner temple remains unclean. The real worship is the alignment of your entire being with the I AM—the awareness that never leaves you. When the text says incense is an abomination, it points to your mental atmosphere: if your thoughts are stained by fear, guilt, or the urge to perform, the prayer itself is hollow. Your new moons and feasts become troublesome only when the inner life does not shift. The call is for repentance not of acts, but of identity: see yourself as the I AM and act from that state. Then the offerings you make—services, prayers, pious rituals—flow from this inner light, not from a sense of deficiency. The outer rites fall away as you realize they were never the substance; the substance is the indwelling awareness that causes every effect.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes, assume the feeling 'I AM' already, and revise any belief that you must earn approval through outward rites. Then, in daily prayer or action, let that inner state guide your choices.
