Neville’s Reading in All Things Are Possible 2

This verse, describing God's absolute power over life, death, healing, and wounding, refers to the human imagination. The individual's imagination possesses this divine power, making it the only God.

"See, I, even I am he and there is no God besides me. I kill and I make alive, I wound and I heal and no one can deliver out of my hand."

Neville’s Reading in Faith In God

The Human Imagination is the sole creative power, responsible for both positive and negative experiences, depending on how it is used.

It is the Human Imagination who kills and makes things alive, wounds and heals.

Neville’s Reading in Freedom

This verse declares the singular, all-encompassing power of God (I AM) as the sole cause of all life's events, including both creation and destruction, healing and wounding.

"I, even I am he. I kill and I make alive. I wound and I heal and none can deliver out of my hand." (Deut. 52)

Neville’s Reading in Gods Plan Of Redemption

This verse reveals the absolute, singular creative power of the 'I AM' (Jesus Christ/human imagination), demonstrating that this divine presence is the sole cause of all experiences, both positive and negative, in the world. It is the creator of everything, good, bad, or indifferent.

I tell you: all things are created by Jesus Christ. Without him there is not a thing made that is made, be it good, bad, or indifferent. It is Jesus Christ who kills, makes alive, wounds, and heals. If he could not kill or wound, he is not a creator. If Jesus, the I am, is absolute as a creator, then he has to create everything. We are told in the 32nd [chapter] of Deuteronomy, 'I kill, I make alive, I wound, I heal and none can deliver out of my hands' Who else could kill but the creator? Who else could heal or wound?

Neville’s Reading in Gods Plan Of Redemption 1969

I kill, I make alive, I wound, I heal and none can deliver out of my hands.

Neville’s Reading in If Any Two Agree

This verse emphasizes the absolute omnipotence and sole agency of God, which Neville equates with the human imagination. It implies that there are no limits to what imagination can accomplish, whether perceived as "good" or "bad."

“I kill, I make alive; I wound, I heal; I do all things, and none can deliver out of my hand,” as I am told in the 32nd chapter of Deuteronomy. “There is none that can deliver out of my hand.” And I do everything; “I kill and I make alive; I wound and I heal.”

Practical Reflection

  • Understanding that one's imagination holds this power means taking responsibility for all creations, both desired and undesired, and recognizing the ability to change them.
  • To desire lovely things, one must imagine lovely thoughts, as Imagination is the source of all outcomes.
  • By fully accepting that "I AM" is the sole cause of all phenomena, one takes complete responsibility for their life and is freed from believing in external forces.
  • Recognizing that one's own imagination (I AM) is the ultimate creator of all circumstances, good or bad, and therefore holds the absolute power to change them.
