Inner Covenant Vision Matthew 19:7-8
Matthew 19:7-8 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Matthew 19 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Moses allowed divorce because of the hardness of hearts; Jesus points out that from the beginning divine unity was the plan.
Neville's Inner Vision
Read with the awareness that you are the I AM, the living consciousness behind every scene. The question about Moses' concession exposes a belief in separation within your own mind. The hardness of heart Jesus mentions is not a moral failing in others; it is a state of consciousness you entertain when you have forgotten your oneness. The letter of the law - the writing of divorcement, the putting away - speaks to a mind that thinks its identity can be severed from life itself. But from the beginning the inner fact was unity; your true self has never been divided from life or partner. If you want to apply these verses, revise your inner picture: affirm that the covenant of unity is intact, regardless of appearances. Do not fight the outer form; instead, awaken to the inner reality you desire by assuming you already live as one with all you cherish. The concession becomes a signpost that you may let go of old separations by returning to your original state of wholeness.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and imagine the bond you seek already intact. Declare I am one with my beloved, now and always, until the feeling is real.
