Inner Firstfruits Worship
Nehemiah 10:36 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Nehemiah 10 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Nehemiah 10:36 records the people bringing the firstborn of their sons and the firstlings of their livestock to the house of God, honoring the law. It frames devotion as a disciplined offering to the temple—an inner act as much as an outward one.
Neville's Inner Vision
In this verse, the firstborn and firstlings are not mere external offerings but the birth-points of your inner life—the premiere thoughts, affections, and possibilities you present to the I AM. The law becomes your inner order: you bring these first fruits to the house of God within, where the priests are your trained faculties ministering to your transformation. This is ritual only in the sense that you consciously dedicate the best of your inner world to the inner God, acknowledging that all you own begins in consciousness. When you commit the finest of your inner life, you affirm that the world you experience springs from your dominant state. The house of God becomes your inner atmosphere, a sanctuary where you set the tone, align with the I AM, and permit life to unfold from a purified mental climate. The practical path is simple: choose a state of abundant life, assume it, and persist in acting from that state until limitation falls away and events express your consciousness clearly.
Practice This Now
Imaginative_act: Assume you are the keeper of your inner temple and offer the firstfruits of your thoughts to the I AM now; revise doubt and feel the resulting clarity as real in this moment.
