Neville Goddard on Micah 6:5-8 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Micah 6 in context

Scripture Focus

5O my people, remember now what Balak king of Moab consulted, and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him from Shittim unto Gilgal; that ye may know the righteousness of the LORD.

6Wherewith shall I come before the LORD, and bow myself before the high God? shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves of a year old?

7Will the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten thousands of rivers of oil? shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?

8He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?

Micah 6:5-8

Biblical Context

Micah 6:5-8 recalls a test of righteousness from the past and asks what truly pleases the LORD. It concludes that God requires justice, mercy, and walking humbly with Him rather than outward sacrifices.

Neville's Inner Vision

Its central message is not that God wants ritual, but that you must enter the state of justice, mercy, and humility within your own consciousness. Balak and Balaam are symbols of outer plots and inner fears; the Lord's righteousness is experienced when you stand in the I AM, perceiving that the only offering God desires is the sincere act of living justly, loving mercy, and walking with God in humility. When you ask, 'What shall I bring?' you are tempted to measure your worth by outward deeds; Neville's method would have you revise that thought until you feel the truth that your inner alignment creates the conditions you seek. The work is inward: imagine yourself already in perfect justice, mercy, and humility, and let that image settle into your daily choices. As you dwell in this state, external circumstances align themselves; your world becomes a reflection of your inner I AM. The verse quietly teaches that you are not separate from God’s requirements but are the very instrument through which righteousness flows.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Assume you are already the embodiment of justice, mercy, and humility; revise the old notion of ritual into inner alignment, and feel the I AM guiding your next action as if the kingdom is present now.
