Neville Goddard on Ezekiel 37:9-10 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ezekiel 37 in context

Scripture Focus

9Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live.

10So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.

Ezekiel 37:9-10

Biblical Context

In Ezekiel 37:9-10, God tells the prophet to prophesy to the wind so breath may enter the slain. When he does, life returns and a vast army of beings rises.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the inner theater, the wind is the fourfold breath of your own awareness moving through states. 'Prophesy unto the wind' is a directive to speak to the formless currents of imagination, not to the outer circumstance. The breath coming into these slain represents the return of life to the parts of you that have forgotten you are I AM. Your subconscious, long convinced of limitation, stands up as an exceeding great army when your desire and your faith unite. The valley of bones becomes a symbol for the old you—habits, fears, identities—that are not dead but waiting to be animated by the living word you declare. When you assume the feeling of being alive now in God, you are not begging for life; you are reviving it by awakening the inner present tense. God is the I AM that you are; the wind is your own imagination; the army is your renewed state of consciousness filling the stage of your world with meaning.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, place a hand on your chest, and declare I AM alive now. Prophesy to your inner wind that life enters you this moment, and dwell in the felt sense of a renewed, confident self marching into your day.
