Returning to the Inner Covenant

Malachi 3:7-9 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Malachi 3 in context

Scripture Focus

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?
8Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.
9Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation.
Malachi 3:7-9

Biblical Context

The people have drifted from God's ordinances; the call is to return, and the issue of tithes and offerings is presented as robbing God, with a curse pronounced for withholding.

Neville's Inner Vision

In Malachi, the call to return is a call to return to the one I AM within. The ordinances are inner alignments of consciousness; returning unto God is returning to the awareness that all life flows from the I AM. When the people ask, 'Wherein shall we return?', they reveal the belief that life comes from without; the real 'rob' is the withholding of tithes and offerings—the energy of attention, gratitude, and use—back from the Self. By withholding, you starve the stream of life and invite a 'curse' of misalignment within your own mind. The remedy is not reforming outside actions but re-choosing a state: give back a portion of your consciousness to the One who gives, and see that giving is receiving in disguise. Tithes and offerings become symbols of your faithful circulation of energy within the I AM, and as you return that energy, you discover that abundance is the natural result of alignment. The law here is simple: your inner economy reflects your inner allegiance; restore your awareness to the Source, and the curse dissolves into harmony.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and revise the scene in your mind: 'I return to the I AM within; I tithe a portion of my consciousness back to God, and abundance circulates back to me.' Then feel the warmth of that return as if you are already free.
