Neville Goddard on Job 29:6-7 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Job 29 in context

Scripture Focus

6When I washed my steps with butter, and the rock poured me out rivers of oil;

7When I went out to the gate through the city, when I prepared my seat in the street!

Job 29:6-7

Biblical Context

Job 29:6-7 paints a scene of extraordinary personal provision—the speaker’s steps are washed in butter and a rock pours oil, signaling a felt-sense of prosperity that is both inner state and outward sign.

Neville's Inner Vision

The lines invite us to read prosperity as a state of consciousness rather than a sequence of events. The butter-washed steps symbolize the grace-filled mood you cultivate; the rock pouring rivers of oil represents the constant supply your awareness recognizes. Going to the city gate and seating yourself on the street is not geographical movement but the outward expression of an inner conviction that you are already provided for. In the I AM you are, abundance is not earned; it is awakened by a living assumption. When you dwell in that state, the world conforms to it—the city gates open, the seat is reserved, and even the rock becomes a fountain of plenty in your experience. Do not chase forms; maintain the feeling that you are cared for by a boundless, unearned grace. The imagery is a vivid reminder that your consciousness, rightly aligned, multiplies all things and time dissolves into the present reality of your provision.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume you are already lavishly provided for. Feel the butter on your steps and oil pouring from the rock, then imagine walking to the gate and seating yourself as one who belongs to abundance.
