Inner Mercy Unveiled

Nehemiah 9:16-17 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Nehemiah 9 in context

Scripture Focus

16But they and our fathers dealt proudly, and hardened their necks, and hearkened not to thy commandments,
17And refused to obey, neither were mindful of thy wonders that thou didst among them; but hardened their necks, and in their rebellion appointed a captain to return to their bondage: but thou art a God ready to pardon, gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and forsookest them not.
Nehemiah 9:16-17

Biblical Context

Nehemiah 9:16-17 records Israel's pride and stiff necks, ignoring God's wonders. Yet God remains ready to pardon, gracious and merciful.

Neville's Inner Vision

Your inner nation, not just a people of old, rebels when you deny the commands of your higher self. You forget the wonders you have become aware of and you hardened your neck toward the present moment, choosing bondage to a memory of lack. Yet the divine I AM, God as awareness, stands unchanged, ready to pardon, gracious, merciful, slow to anger, and steadfast in gentleness. The verse invites you to notice that mercy is not withheld from you but is your own state of being that you simply refuse to inhabit. When you choose a new assumption, feeling the truth that you are already forgiven, that you are loved, that your consciousness is free from the chains of past rebellion, you reverse the direction of your inner captain. The moment you entertain this revised state, your inner world aligns with pardon, and the external appearances begin to reflect the change. Do not seek mercy outside; settle into the awareness that you are the I AM who pardons yourself and others.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and, as the I AM within you, declare 'I am pardoned and free now.' Hold the feeling of that state until it saturates your being, then act from this certainty.
