The Inner Gap and Hedge
Ezekiel 13:5 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Ezekiel 13 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse condemns neglecting to defend and fill the gaps for Israel, leaving the house exposed to the battle on the day of the LORD.
Neville's Inner Vision
Ezekiel is not describing brick and mortar but your inner field of awareness. When you do not go up into the gaps, you leave your entire state of consciousness undefended against fear, doubt, and limitation. The house of Israel is your inner identity; the hedge is the disciplined boundary you maintain around your awareness by assumption. In the day of the LORD—the present moment of I AM—the battle is the struggle between old stories that claim you are at the mercy of conditions and the new image you choose to inhabit. The failure to stand in the gap is the failure to imagine yourself already whole and secure; the remedy is to assume a state of being that prevents invasion. You are not at the mercy of external events; you are the I AM, and imagination is the guard you place around your kingdom. When you persist in dwelling as the isolated self, you invite defeat; when you awaken to the truth that you are the I AM, the hedge rises and the gaps vanish. The craft of imagination makes your defense certain.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Before sleep, assume the healed, whole you now; feel the hedge forming as a radiant boundary of I AM awareness. Imagine the gaps closing into unity and dwell in that feeling until it becomes your lived state.
