Ezra's Inner Royal Decree
Ezra 7:21-24 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Ezra 7 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Ezra 7:21–24 presents a king’s decree granting resources and protection for the temple service and exempting temple workers from tolls. It signals a harmony between outward authority and inward obedience.
Neville's Inner Vision
Your Ezra 7:21–24 is not history but a mirror of your inner state. The king’s decree reflects the outer agreement of your awareness, the I AM, to recognize and supply your temple-business with immediate power. Ezra the priest, the scribe of the law of the God of heaven, stands for your steadfast inner faculty that writes and enforces alignment with divine order. When the decree commands, ‘whatsoever Ezra shall require… shall be done speedily,’ it is your decision to trust the inner law and to revise any present lack by assuming the end from the beginning. The generous provisions—silver, wheat, wine, oil, salt—are the natural movable energies of your being released to feed the temple and nourish true worship. The clause that nothing shall be levied on the priests and Levites is the inner exemption from lack, guilt, or cultural limitation; it is the assurance that your ministers in service to the God within are not weighed by burdens but are supported by the realm. The imperative, ‘Whatsoever is commanded by the God of heaven, let it be diligently done,’ is the practical law of consciousness: align outer events with the inner decree, and the realm will reflect it.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and repeat, 'What God commands, I diligently fulfill.' See resources and support streaming to the temple within you, and feel the freedom of ministerial work unburdened by lack.
