Inner Sacrifice and True Worship

Leviticus 17:5-7 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Leviticus 17 in context

Scripture Focus

5To the end that the children of Israel may bring their sacrifices, which they offer in the open field, even that they may bring them unto the LORD, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, unto the priest, and offer them for peace offerings unto the LORD.
6And the priest shall sprinkle the blood upon the altar of the LORD at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and burn the fat for a sweet savour unto the LORD.
7And they shall no more offer their sacrifices unto devils, after whom they have gone a whoring. This shall be a statute for ever unto them throughout their generations.
Leviticus 17:5-7

Biblical Context

These verses direct that sacrifices be brought to the LORD at the door of the tabernacle for peace offerings. They also forbid offerings to devils, marking the practice as binding through generations.

Neville's Inner Vision

From the Neville vantage, Leviticus is not a record of ancient rites, but a map of the states of consciousness you entertain. The 'open field' offering signifies thoughts and desires wandering outside the consciousness that is the tabernacle of your own mind. Bringing them unto the LORD at the door of the tabernacle is an inward alignment: you stop letting conflicting claims—fear, hunger, vanity—stand as sovereign powers and instead present them to the I AM, the living awareness within. The act of sprinkling blood on the altar and burning the fat for a sweet savour represents cleansing the vital energies and saturating them with a feeling-tone of harmony. When you choose the true altar of your heart over outdated devotions, you cease to offer yourself to devils—the residue of separated beliefs; you reclaim wholeness as a permanent statute in your life. The verse thus reveals a practice: worship is not a ceremony in distance, but an ongoing inner arrangement of consciousness, aligning every act, thought, and motive with peace and the sweet savour of God-awareness.

Practice This Now

Assume the inner posture now: I am the I AM; I bring all my thoughts and desires to the Lord within me. Feel the peace as this inward altar is cleansed and receives sweet savour.
