Neville Goddard on Ezekiel 34:16 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ezekiel 34 in context

Scripture Focus

16I will seek that which was lost, and bring again that which was driven away, and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen that which was sick: but I will destroy the fat and the strong; I will feed them with judgment.

Ezekiel 34:16

Biblical Context

God promises to seek the lost, return the driven away, bind up the broken, and strengthen the sick. Yet the chapter also speaks of judgment toward the strong and self-satisfied.

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider Ezekiel 34:16 as a map of your inner state. The lost are the energies you have hidden; the driven away are the desires you deemed unsafe; the broken are wounds that never fully healed; the sick are faculties neglected by fear. God, the I AM within, seeks these parts not to punish but to awaken you to their belonging in consciousness. When you imagine the shepherd returning, you enact the condition in which those parts are restored—belief, attention, and love flow to them. The fat and the strong are your overfed ego—self-sufficiency that keeps you from renewal. Feed them with judgment, meaning clear discernment—you see what you are choosing to nourish in your life. This renewal is inner creation: you shift from loss to wholeness by choosing the truth of your unity. In imagination you become the healer, binder, and nourisher of all your parts; you awaken the kingdom by aligning with the I AM and feeling the reality of restoration now.

Practice This Now

Assume the state of wholeness now: declare, I AM restored. In vivid imagination, see the lost part returned and feel it real until the entire being resonates with renewal.
