Inner Mercy by Divine Will

Romans 9:15-16 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Romans 9 in context

Scripture Focus

15For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.
16So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.
Romans 9:15-16

Biblical Context

God declares that mercy is given according to His own will, not by human effort or desire. Mercy is a divine choice, over which we have no independent claim.

Neville's Inner Vision

Verse speaks of the inexorable truth: mercy belongs to the I AM who wills it. In your present state, you are not at the mercy of mere striving or luck; you are in the living court where God, the I AM, dispenses mercy as an activity of consciousness. Romans 9:15-16 does not condemn effort but liberates you from chasing outcomes; it invites you to align your inner being with the divine will. When you acknowledge that mercy originates in God’s will, you stop trying to force results and begin the practice of imagining yourself already favored. Assume you are the recipient of mercy now; feel the inner relief, the softening of resistance, the sense that the world responds to your settled, quiet assumption. The not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, shows that it is not motion outward but the motion of consciousness inward that matters. You are the I AM aware of itself, and mercy flows from that awareness through your assumed state. So, live in the feeling of being shown mercy because it is your divine right as God’s expression.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and repeat: I am the mercy in operation; God wills mercy to me now. Feel the body soften, breath deepen, and imagine an unseen hand releasing favor.
