Neville Goddard on Nehemiah 9:6-11 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Nehemiah 9 in context

Scripture Focus

6Thou, even thou, art LORD alone; thou hast made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth, and all things that are therein, the seas, and all that is therein, and thou preservest them all; and the host of heaven worshippeth thee.

7Thou art the LORD the God, who didst choose Abram, and broughtest him forth out of Ur of the Chaldees, and gavest him the name of Abraham;

8And foundest his heart faithful before thee, and madest a covenant with him to give the land of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Jebusites, and the Girgashites, to give it, I say, to his seed, and hast performed thy words; for thou art righteous:

9And didst see the affliction of our fathers in Egypt, and heardest their cry by the Red sea;

10And shewedst signs and wonders upon Pharaoh, and on all his servants, and on all the people of his land: for thou knewest that they dealt proudly against them. So didst thou get thee a name, as it is this day.

11And thou didst divide the sea before them, so that they went through the midst of the sea on the dry land; and their persecutors thou threwest into the deeps, as a stone into the mighty waters.

Nehemiah 9:6-11

Biblical Context

God is the Lord who made heaven and earth and preserves all things. He delivered Israel from Egypt and parted the sea, proving His faithfulness.

Neville's Inner Vision

All through Nehemiah, the I AM speaks through creation. The heavens, the earth, the seas—seen and unseen—are but the stage on which your inner life plays out. When the ancients cry out under oppression, the I AM answers not as a distant judge but as the living awareness that chooses Abram, then makes a covenant with him. This covenant is not a historical treaty external to you; it is the steadfast decision of your own consciousness to dwell in truth, to give birth to order in seeming chaos. The Red Sea episode is your mind parting the currents of limitation, your fear thrown into the depths as you step through in faith. The signs and wonders are the correspondences that follow when you keep faith with the inner law: you begin to see that your state imprints your world, and your consistency with that state draws the results. Therefore, deliverance is not an event external to you but the natural expression of your unified state. When you own the I AM as LORD of your life, you rewrite the story from within.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Close your eyes, assume the feeling of the I AM governing all you are and have. Then revise any old limitation by affirming, 'The I AM preserves and delivers,' and feel the exodus as your present reality.
