Inner Desolation, Inner Lordship
Ezekiel 6:14 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Ezekiel 6 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
God stretches out His hand to desolate the land so people may know that He is the LORD. The outer ruin serves as a symbol of inner clearing that leads to awareness of the I AM.
Neville's Inner Vision
In the inner economy of the I AM, Ezekiel 6:14 depicts not punishment but the turning of attention. The land represents your current state of consciousness; desolation signals the thinning of fixed self-images and beliefs. When you accept the feeling that you are the I AM, you invite a voluntary inner desolation that clears old patterns, so you may awaken to the LORD within. The 'stretching out' is your decision to revise, perceive, and align with the ruling presence inside you. As you persist, outer conditions mirror this inner shift, and you come to know that the LORD is not a distant deity but the living consciousness you are. This is the exile and return—a release from limited identity into the inner kingdom where sovereignty resides, awaiting your recognition as the source of all experience.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, place a hand on your chest, and declare, 'I am the LORD within; I revise my inner landscape until the desolation reveals the I AM.' Then feel the sense of homecoming as old beliefs loosen and new awareness settles.
