Inner Covenant To God’s Law
Nehemiah 10:28-29 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Nehemiah 10 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The text describes the people separating themselves from foreign influences to bind themselves to the law of God, vowing to observe all commandments. They join with their brethren in a solemn oath, elevating knowledge and understanding as guides for faithful living.
Neville's Inner Vision
Viewed through the I AM, this passage speaks to your inner household awakening to its own law. The 'rest of the people' are the varied states of consciousness, scattered and seeking direction, who, recognizing divine order, separate from habits and influences that deny the inward command. Their act of claving to brethren and nobles signifies unity with higher faculties—trusted ideas, disciplined intents, and discernment. By entering into a curse and an oath, they enact a binding mental contract: to walk in God's law, to observe and do all the commandments. In Neville’s psychology, the law of God is your I AM—the living sense of awareness that orders imagination into form. When you accept this inner law as your operating principle, thoughts, feelings, and imagined actions align with that law, and a new pattern emerges—obedience as alignment, not struggle.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Assume the I AM’s covenant is written on your heart and declare, 'I walk in God's law in every choice.' Feel this certainty settle into your chest as real.
