Inner Worship Reimagined
Isaiah 1:11-15 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Isaiah 1 in context
Scripture Focus
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.
