Read Ezekiel 2 in context

Scripture Focus

1And he said unto me, Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak unto thee.

2And the spirit entered into me when he spake unto me, and set me upon my feet, that I heard him that spake unto me.

3And he said unto me, Son of man, I send thee to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that hath rebelled against me: they and their fathers have transgressed against me, even unto this very day.

Ezekiel 2:1-3

Biblical Context

Ezekiel is told to stand on his feet, and the Spirit enters him, after which he is sent to a rebellious people. The moment marks an inner call to present transformation.

Neville's Inner Vision

In this inner drama, standing on your feet is a maintained state of consciousness; the Spirit entering you signifies the awakening of the I AM within. The instruction to be sent to a rebellious nation becomes a message to your own resistant patterns. The line about their fathers and transgression points to inherited habits of thought you have endured. You are not primarily addressing others but awakening your own mind to fidelity and courage. The voice that speaks is the I AM speaking through you, giving you authority and a vision to address the inner Israel with compassion rather than punishment. When you assume this state, the old self is invited to listen; you become the vessel through which transformation is made concrete. The verse teaches that your inner mission arises when you stand in awareness and invite the Spirit to lead your decisions and revisions.

Practice This Now

Assume the inner state now: 'I am the I AM; the Spirit speaks through me.' Identify one recurring belief and revise it by declaring its opposite, then feel that change as real in your body.
