Neville Goddard on Nehemiah 9:7-8 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Nehemiah 9 in context

Scripture Focus

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:

Nehemiah 9:7-8

Biblical Context

God, the LORD, chose Abram, renamed him Abraham, found his faith faithful, and established a covenant to give land to his seed; He has fulfilled these words, for He is righteous.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this text the LORD identifies as the I AM behind all names; Abram becomes Abraham as faith rises, and the old land is the field where inner promises are sown. The move from Ur of the Chaldees is the shedding of old beliefs; the covenant is not a future decree but the inner alignment that makes the desired condition probable now. Your faith, like Abraham's, is tested by time, yet the verse declares that the heart faithful before God is found, and that fidelity draws forth the land of your intentions—the Canaan of fulfilled states, not a distant geography. The seed is your current conditions, habits, and outcomes produced by consistent inner assent. God hath performed thy words because the I AM is constant and righteous in you; the righteous I AM is the inner law that fulfills what it declares. So, the verse teaches that the outer becomes visible only as the inner state is unwaveringly aligned with divine reality.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and dwell as the I AM; revise the self-image from Ur to Abraham, and affirm, 'I am the one chosen; I am the land promised; my seed is arising now.' Feel it real.
