Inner Test of Obedience
Judges 3:4 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Judges 3 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Judges 3:4 shows a testing moment: the people are measured by whether they will heed the LORD's commandments handed down through Moses. The test reveals the state of their inward loyalty and receptivity to divine instruction.
Neville's Inner Vision
Israel here is the inner nation of your consciousness, scattered yet responsive to one law. The 'commands of the LORD' are the inner commandments your I AM speaks through the voice of Moses—the discipline that orders your life. They were to 'prove' you by these inner laws, to show whether your state of mind would hearken to the command. This is not history but a daily practice: when you assume the feeling that you already obey, you let the inner decree work. Obedience becomes a revision of your inner climate, a shift of imagination that redraws your world. Dwelling in the awareness that you hear and respond to that inner voice, you confirm allegiance to the inner governor, your I AM, and your life follows. The 'Moses' hand' is the guiding voice within; the test of faithfulness is simply your willingness to live from the law you affirm.
Practice This Now
Sit quietly, assume the inner command as already true, and feel the obedience in your present experience—then revise any doubt and let the I AM govern.
