Neville Goddard on Malachi 3:6-7 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Malachi 3 in context

Scripture Focus

6For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.

7Even from the days of your fathers ye are gone away from mine ordinances, and have not kept them. Return unto me, and I will return unto you, saith the LORD of hosts. But ye said, Wherein shall we return?

Malachi 3:6-7

Biblical Context

God is unchanging, and the people have strayed from inner law. The remedy is an inner return to the I AM, aligning consciousness with divine order.

Neville's Inner Vision

Malachi presents a truth about your inner life: God does not change; your shifts are in your own mind. The 'ordinances' are the inner laws you once kept in awareness. You cannot be consumed by past behavior when you return to the I AM, the unchanging awareness. The call to 'return unto me' is a call to revise your sense of self, not to recall external rules. When you accept that you are the I AM, your consciousness aligns with the same unalterable order God embodies. The question 'Wherein shall we return?' becomes a turning of attention to the present state you choose now. In Neville's method, you revise by assuming the feeling of already being in harmony with the divine law; you imagine the end from the end, and you feel it real while resting in the confidence that consciousness creates destiny. In that inner shift, the old patterns drop away and the life around you reorders itself to reflect the changed state.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and declare, I am the I AM; I return to the unchanging truth now. In your imagination, sense yourself already in harmony with the divine order, and feel the relief and flow that follows.
