Inner Tithe: The God Within

Malachi 3:8-9 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Malachi 3 in context

Scripture Focus

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 3:8-9

Biblical Context

Malachi 3:8–9 asks if people rob God by withholding tithes and offerings. It declares a curse on the nation for this withholding.

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of God as the I AM you are awareness of, not a distant deity. When Malachi asks, Will a man rob God? he is really asking: can the I AM deprive itself of its own life by withholding the coin of attention? The tithes and offerings are not coins but your inner gift—your time, focus, and gratitude—flowing from your conscious state. The 'curse' spoken of is the consequence of a mind separated from its source, a life lived in scarcity, insisting the current of life stop at your door. If you dwell there, you squeeze the stream and experience lack as real. But revise that belief and place your giving into the sight of your inner abundance, feeling that you already possess more than enough. You then become the current that moves abundance through your world. The law functions by consciousness, not by coins. Awake to the I AM in you as the source of all you receive, and the curse dissolves into the natural abundance that follows from living as the flow itself.

Practice This Now

Practice: close your eyes and assume you are already abundantly supplied. Imagine freely giving—your time, attention, and gratitude—feeling the I AM within you respond with more flow, and begin acting in harmony with that abundance today.
