I AM Speaks: Inner Inquiry
Ezekiel 20:3 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Ezekiel 20 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse presents God’s rebuke to those who seek His guidance from an outer council, declaring He will not be enquired of by the outward mind. It invites you to seek the I AM within, where true presence and insight reside.
Neville's Inner Vision
Imagine the elders as the outer man, the habit of seeking signs and permission from without. The declaration 'As I live, I will not be enquired of by you' is not a prohibition against God, but a call to awaken to the I AM who speaks within. In Neville’s terms, God is your consciousness, the I AM that you are. When you run to the world for direction, you are rehearsing a state of doubt; when you claim the I AM as your present reality, you are stepping into the assurance that all prophecy and truth already reside in you. The elders symbolize the old self clinging to external approval; the moment you stop seeking exterior confirmation and align with the inner sovereign, your life rearranges to reflect that inner state. You become faithful to the presence of God within rather than dependent on external inquiry, and judgment gives way to the accuracy of your own consciousness.
Practice This Now
Practice: Sit in quiet and declare, 'I AM the Lord God within me; I do not seek outward guidance.' Then rest in the felt sense that the inner voice now governs your life, and watch for events aligning with that inner certainty.
