Ezekiel 3:11

Biblical Context

Ezekiel 3:11 commands Ezekiel to go to the exiles and proclaim the Lord's message, regardless of whether they listen.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within your consciousness there are captives—habits, fears, doubts—that think they inhabit you. Ezekiel's commission is your own: go to the captivity and speak Thus saith the Lord GOD, not to persuade shy minds but to declare the decree of the I AM. When you assume the I AM speaks, the words become your reality, and the outer world will respond as a witness to your inner state. The clause 'whether they will hear or forbear' is not surrender to reluctance; it is a validation that the truth you utter is independent of other minds. The 'children of thy people' are the many facets of your own mind; your job is to deliver the royal proclamation and to stand faithful regardless of immediate reaction. By speaking the word with authority—'Thus saith the Lord GOD'—you awaken the memory of your true kingdom within. This is not about changing others; it is about changing your place within God as I AM, and thus your reality shifts.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly, close your eyes, and assume you are the voice declaring, 'Thus saith the Lord GOD' to your captive mind; feel the command as already true and let the inner hearing confirm it.
