Neville Goddard on Proverbs 3:9-12 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Proverbs 3 in context

Scripture Focus

9Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:

10So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.

11My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction:

12For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.

Proverbs 3:9-12

Biblical Context

Proverbs 3:9-12 invites you to honor God with your wealth and to accept His discipline as a sign of love. It promises inner abundance when your inner state is aligned with the I AM.

Neville's Inner Vision

Your wealth is not a coin purse but the state of your awareness. When you honor the LORD with your substance, you declare that the I AM provides, and your firstfruits become the initial energy you invest in your imagined reality. In the inner theater, barns stand for the stores of consciousness that hold abundance, and the presses bursting with new wine symbolize the vivacity that flows when you dwell in sufficiency. The chastening of the LORD is not punishment but alignment—the gentle correction of the mind back to its true pattern. He loves you as a father loves a son, and discipline comes to refine your images until they reflect health and plenty. Do not resist it; welcome this inward steer as the loving discipline of consciousness. Practice silently for a few minutes: fix in mind the feeling of already having enough, and revise any lack until it aligns with your I AM. The more you persist in that conviction, the more your outer world will mirror your inner wealth.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Sit quietly, repeat 'I am abundance now,' and feel the firstfruits of your awareness being offered to your imagined reality. Let the feeling word by word become your new baseline.
