Neville Goddard on Micah 7:18-20 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Micah 7 in context

18Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy.

19He will turn again, he will have compassion upon us; he will subdue our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.

20Thou wilt perform the truth to Jacob, and the mercy to Abraham, which thou hast sworn unto our fathers from the days of old.

Neville's Inner Vision

To the attentive self, these verses reveal a God who is not an external judge but the I AM within, the very consciousness that can forgive its own hard thoughts. 'Who is a God like unto thee?' asks the question of your own heart, for the answer is the one who pardons iniquity and passes by transgression because He delights in mercy. This is not history but psychology: the divine mercy is a state of awareness, a mood you can assume. When you realize the I AM loves mercy more than your guilt, anger loses its grip and you are turned back to yourself with compassion. He will turn again toward us, He will have compassion upon us—these are inner movements, not distant events: your attention shifts, your memories loosen their hold, and your patterns of thought are subdued. The sins you once carried dissolve as if cast into the depths of the sea. The promise to Jacob and to Abraham becomes your inner covenant—the truth you inhabit when you choose mercy as your standard and trust that your heritage of faith remains intact. Stand now as the merciful I AM and watch your life align with that covenant.
