Neville Goddard on Ezekiel 33:30-32 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ezekiel 33 in context

Scripture Focus

30Also, thou son of man, the children of thy people still are talking against thee by the walls and in the doors of the houses, and speak one to another, every one to his brother, saying, Come, I pray you, and hear what is the word that cometh forth from the LORD.

31And they come unto thee as the people cometh, and they sit before thee as my people, and they hear thy words, but they will not do them: for with their mouth they shew much love, but their heart goeth after their covetousness.

32And, lo, thou art unto them as a very lovely song of one that hath a pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument: for they hear thy words, but they do them not.

Ezekiel 33:30-32

Biblical Context

People hear the prophet's words but do not act on them. Their hearts chase covetousness while professing love with their mouths.

Neville's Inner Vision

Your inner Ezekiel stands at the wall of your mind, listening as if the word were coming from the LORD, yet the heart remains elsewhere. In Neville's psychology, hearing without doing reveals a split state: you are identified with the word as external chatter while your inner disposition is governed by appetite and habit. The drama unfolds as 'my people' speaking to each other, mistaking attention for transformation. The 'lovely song'—your pleasant inner voice and polished beliefs—plays well, but it does not shift your life because belief and behavior are not aligned. To convert the word into reality you must assume a new living state: that the I AM you are now is the one who acts in accord with the word. Practice the revision: feel already faithful; imagine your days flowing from the inner command rather than from fear or gain; let the inner melody become your outward rhythm. When the inner state is congruent with action, Ezekiel’s audience becomes your ally, and true worship is a living choice rather than a spoken one.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Close your eyes and assume the inner state of timeless obedience; repeat, I am the word I hear, and I live it now. Let the feeling of alignment rise until your daily acts unfold as the natural expression of your inner conviction.
