Neville Goddard on Micah 6:6-16 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Micah 6 in context

Scripture Focus

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?

9The LORD's voice crieth unto the city, and the man of wisdom shall see thy name: hear ye the rod, and who hath appointed it.

10Are there yet the treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked, and the scant measure that is abominable?

11Shall I count them pure with the wicked balances, and with the bag of deceitful weights?

12For the rich men thereof are full of violence, and the inhabitants thereof have spoken lies, and their tongue is deceitful in their mouth.

13Therefore also will I make thee sick in smiting thee, in making thee desolate because of thy sins.

14Thou shalt eat, but not be satisfied; and thy casting down shall be in the midst of thee; and thou shalt take hold, but shalt not deliver; and that which thou deliverest will I give up to the sword.

15Thou shalt sow, but thou shalt not reap; thou shalt tread the olives, but thou shalt not anoint thee with oil; and sweet wine, but shalt not drink wine.

16For the statutes of Omri are kept, and all the works of the house of Ahab, and ye walk in their counsels; that I should make thee a desolation, and the inhabitants thereof an hissing: therefore ye shall bear the reproach of my people.

Micah 6:6-16

Biblical Context

God asks not for sacrifices alone but for justice, mercy, and humility in how we live before the I AM. The passage calls outward ritual into question and points to an inner alignment that shapes outcomes.

Neville's Inner Vision

God is not outside you in burnt offerings or ritual; God is the I AM within, your awareness in which all becomes. When you ask what is good, you are shown that the real sacrifice is inner integrity: do justice in every decision, love mercy in every word, and walk humbly with the God of your own being. The rod is the inner call to awaken from pretence; it corrects you by exposing the deceit that hides in thoughts and choices. The riches of wickedness and the deceitful scales you point to are the distortions of your mind; as you entertain them, your life grows sick, desolate, and out of balance. But you can revise now: imagine yourself choosing fairness, gentleness, and humility in every encounter; dwell in the feeling that you are already the just, merciful, humble self. The inner name you fear becomes your true name; the rod becomes grace when you yield. As you hold that state, outer circumstances rearrange to reflect your awakened covenant with the I AM.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Sit quietly, assume the state 'I am the just, merciful, humble I AM,' and feel it real for a few minutes; then revise a recent interaction in your mind to reflect fairness and mercy, as if you already live it.
