Inner Sanctity Of The I AM Presence
Leviticus 21:8 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Leviticus 21 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Leviticus 21:8 commands sanctification and holiness for the one who serves, grounded in the Lord who sanctifies you; holiness begins in your inner state.
Neville's Inner Vision
Leviticus 21:8 appears as a doorway into your inner temple. The command to sanctify the one who serves points to the activity of your own I AM—the awareness that chooses holiness. The 'bread of thy God' is the nourishment you feed your life with—careful thoughts, devoted feelings, and deliberate acts of integrity. The priest who must be holy unto you is your inner faculty of worship, the steadfast attention that consecrates every moment. And the clause, I the LORD, which sanctify you, am holy, declares that holiness is not a distant command but your own nature revealed by awareness. When you assume this truth, sanctification becomes a living present tense. You are not trying to become holy; you are becoming aware of the holy I AM that you already are, and all action you offer to life becomes the bread you place on the altar of God.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and mentally declare, 'I am sanctified; I am holy.' Then imagine yourself as the inner priest offering the bread of God, feeling the holiness as a warm presence in your chest.
