Stirred Spirit, Proclaimed Return
Ezra 1:1 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Ezra 1 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Ezra 1:1 tells of Cyrus being moved by the LORD to proclaim a decree, fulfilling Jeremiah's word; the outer event mirrors an inner divine orchestration.
Neville's Inner Vision
In Ezra 1:1 the LORD’s word moves first as an inner conviction before it appears as outward decree. The stirring of Cyrus’s spirit is the I AM awakening a sense of authorized power within you. The king’s proclamation is not merely a political act but the outward echo of a settled inner state. Your life operates in this way: the promises of God, declared in scripture, are fulfilled when you presume their truth inside. The inner word shifts the outer world by changing your beliefs, feelings, and decisions. When you hold the memory of a fulfilled promise with feeling, you align your consciousness with its fulfillment, and events rise to meet that inner dimension. Providence is not random; it is the tuning of your inner note to the universal melody. So the Cyrus who stirs and proclaims becomes a symbol for the authority you claim in consciousness to decree your good and see it manifest.
Practice This Now
Assume the end: 'I have it now.' Sit quietly, revise any sense of delay, and feel the emotion of the decree already fulfilled.
