Ezra's Inner Fast for Right Way
Ezra 8:21 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Ezra 8 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Ezra proclaims a fast by the river Ahava to afflict the body and seek God for a right way for themselves, their little ones, and their substance.
Neville's Inner Vision
Picture the river Ahava as the stream of your own awareness. Ezra's fast is not a hunger strike of the body but a discipline of attention that quiets the mind until the I AM within speaks. When you afflict yourself, you soften the ego's clamor so that divine guidance can be heard as the right way for you, for your little ones, and for all you own. The right way arises as a revelation of your present state, not as a fearful future plan. It is a definite knowing that the circumstances now reflect the state you assume. Your longing for security, for family, and for substance is satisfied by a conscious renovation of being; Providence does not withhold, it invites you to awaken to the decision already formed in your inner night. Practice the art of feeling the truth of that right way until it becomes your present atmosphere.
Practice This Now
Sit quietly, declare I am the right way now, and feel the certainty as real. Then notice one small step that confirms the inner directing presence.
