Ezekiel 22:28

Biblical Context

Ezekiel 22:28 condemns prophets who daub messages with untempered mortar, mixing vanity and lies while claiming Thus saith the Lord GOD. It warns that true guidance requires discernment and alignment with the LORD's true voice.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within every mind there is a true voice—the I AM—that speaks in clarity when unclouded by fear; alongside it wander prophets made of vanity, daubed with untempered mortar. Ezekiel points to the habit of the conditioned self to call its thoughts 'Thus saith the Lord GOD' while the voice is merely a previous belief clothed in sacred language. When I discern such a voice, I realize it is not the LORD speaking but my own mind misaligned, a belief that has hardened into form. The cure is not to battle prophets but to awaken to the one right Reality: the I AM within who speaks truth as life. I test every word by whether it blesses, clarifies, and enables creative living. I revise every untempered claim until it resonates with peace, integrity, and the sense of being truly led. By choosing the inner voice and imagining from that state, I allow true knowing to appear; the external "Thus saith" dissolves into the quiet concord of the I AM, and reality aligns with that truth.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Sit quietly, breathe, and assume the inner voice, 'I AM the Lord GOD, and I speak truth within me now.' Feel it real and revise any outward claim as coming from that I AM until clarity remains.
