Read Ezekiel 29 in context

Scripture Focus

Ezekiel 29:1-2

Biblical Context

Ezekiel 29:1-2 records God directing the prophet to turn his attention toward Pharaoh and prophesy against him and against all Egypt.

Neville's Inner Vision

To me, the Ezekiel passage is a blueprint for consciousness. The 'word of the LORD' that comes to him is the living I AM speaking in you, awakening you to the Pharaoh within—your habit of fear, control, and limitation. 'Set thy face against Pharaoh' asks you to fix your gaze on that inner tyrant and refuse it. 'Prophesy against him, and against all Egypt' becomes your act of imagining the opposite decree to limitation, speaking truth to the belief that you are bound. When you hear this inner command, you are summoned to revise the inner scene by assuming a new state: I am awareness, sovereign, and the bondage cannot stand. Time and date in Ezekiel are signals that when you align with the inner word, the external pattern shifts. The outer world is but a mirror of your inner decree; therefore, the Pharaoh dissolves as the I AM asserts its dominion and the land of Egypt yields to your realized presence.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and imagine standing before your inner Pharaoh. Say, 'I am the I AM; you are not ruler here,' and feel the decree dissolve the Egypt within.
