One Heart, New Spirit
Ezekiel 11:18-19 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Ezekiel 11 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The passage promises that detestable things are removed and the people will receive one heart and a new spirit, replacing a hard, stony heart with a pliant heart of flesh.
Neville's Inner Vision
In Neville Goddard's reading, the 'they' is your inner state of consciousness. Detestable things are not external foes but habitual thoughts and feelings you tolerate in yourself. When you align with the I AM, those patterns are dissolved and a single inner purpose emerges: you have one heart. The 'new spirit' within is the renewal of your inner atmosphere; the 'stony heart' is rigidity, fear, and doubt, while the 'heart of flesh' is receptivity, compassion, and the courage to follow inner guidance. Covenant loyalty becomes an inner allegiance to the divine I AM rather than external ritual. As your inner state harmonizes—purity and integrity become natural; holiness arises from inner alignment, not outward rule. Imagination then becomes causal: to consistently inhabit the state 'I am one heart with God' is to birth that reality into your daily life, transforming thoughts, feelings, and actions from the inside out.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume the state: I am one heart with God. See the stony parts of you melt into a pliant heart of flesh, guided by the newborn spirit within.
