Inner Mercy Through Confession
Proverbs 28:13 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Proverbs 28 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Proverbs 28:13 teaches that hiding sins blocks prosperity. Confessing and forsaking them opens mercy.
Neville's Inner Vision
Consider that sin is a state of mind kept hidden, and prosperity flows from the alignment of your inner being with truth. The verse does not threaten punishment from an external deity, but reveals that the 'I AM' within—your continuous awareness— prosper when it ceases concealing what it inwardly knows. To cover sins is to deny the light of consciousness, to act as though you are separate from the mercy already present in you. When you confess and forsake, you are not pleading to an outside judge; you are re-choosing your central consciousness, rewriting the script with the feeling that repentance has already occurred, and that you stand in the favor of your own divine nature. The act of confession is an inner revision, a clearing of the mental atmosphere so that mercy can manifest as your current circumstances. By acknowledging, forgiving, and turning away from the old pattern, you dissolve resistance and allow prosperity to rise from within, not as a reward but as the natural state of an awakened I AM that refuses to hide.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume the present tense of mercy: I am forgiven, and I have released the old sin. Feel the relief as your inner I AM aligns with that truth, and notice your surroundings begin to respond.
