Inner River Healing

Ezekiel 47:8-12 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Ezekiel 47 in context

Scripture Focus

8Then said he unto me, These waters issue out toward the east country, and go down into the desert, and go into the sea: which being brought forth into the sea, the waters shall be healed.
9And it shall come to pass, that every thing that liveth, which moveth, whithersoever the rivers shall come, shall live: and there shall be a very great multitude of fish, because these waters shall come thither: for they shall be healed; and every thing shall live whither the river cometh.
10And it shall come to pass, that the fishers shall stand upon it from Engedi even unto Eneglaim; they shall be a place to spread forth nets; their fish shall be according to their kinds, as the fish of the great sea, exceeding many.
11But the miry places thereof and the marishes thereof shall not be healed; they shall be given to salt.
12And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow all trees for meat, whose leaf shall not fade, neither shall the fruit thereof be consumed: it shall bring forth new fruit according to his months, because their waters they issued out of the sanctuary: and the fruit thereof shall be for meat, and the leaf thereof for medicine.
Ezekiel 47:8-12

Biblical Context

Ez 47:8-12 describes waters flowing from the sanctuary that heal the sea and bring life to all that move. It also portrays trees bearing fruit and leaves for medicine, symbolizing ongoing renewal under divine presence.

Neville's Inner Vision

Picture Ezekiel’s river as the living current of your own awareness—the I AM you call to in quiet moments. The waters issuing eastward from the sanctuary are your inner thoughts and feelings flowing into the desert of circumstance, and as they enter the sea of daily life they heal everything they touch, for consciousness is the healer. Where the river travels, life appears; schools of possible outcomes multiply because this current nourishes the inner condition that births them. The fishers standing from Engedi to Eneglaim are your uses of imagination and choice; you cast nets in alignment with the river and are drawn into abundant harvest according to your faith in the healing stream. Some marshy places remain unhealed, not because the current fails but because you still cling to old states; those marshes become salt, signaling where belief must shift. By the river’s banks grow trees whose fruit feeds and whose leaves heal, a symbol of continual renewal born from this inner source. Dwelling in the sense that the sanctuary’s waters are now flowing through you rearranges your outer world to reflect a healed consciousness.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly, close your eyes, and imagine a river rising from your inner sanctuary; feel its coolness, see it circulating through your limbs and into your life, and declare, The I AM in me heals now. Do this for a few minutes until it feels real.
